Authenticate Beambox against the Contacts API using OAuth 2.0 flows. The required scope is contacts.readonly to enable read access to contact data.
Grant Beambox access to the Contacts API via OAuth, ensuring tokens are stored securely and refreshed periodically. Use the standard client credentials or authorization code flow as supported.

Trigger: When a contact is created or updated in Beambox, sync to the Contacts API to create or update the corresponding record.
Actions: Read contact fields, update contact records, attach tasks, notes, and appointments as needed.
Methods: GET /contacts/:contactId, PUT /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts/ and related endpoints for tasks, notes, and appointments.
id, name, email, phone, company, status, tags
Trigger: Updates in Beambox tasks or notes reflect back to the Contacts API and vice versa.
Actions: Create/update tasks and notes in Beambox when changes occur in the Contacts API; keep history synchronized.
Methods: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, POST /contacts/:contactId/notes, PUT /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id
taskId, title, dueDate, status, noteId, content
Trigger: Bulk updates or enrichment events from external systems to Beambox via the Contacts API.
Actions: Bulk create/update contacts, enrich with external data, tag and categorize records for automation.
Methods: POST /contacts/bulk, PATCH /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
contacts array, tagNames, metadata
Build powerful automations between Beambox and the Contacts API without writing a line of code—centralize contacts, tasks, and notes in one workflow.
Visual drag-and-drop workflows let you map fields, triggers, and actions across apps for rapid iteration.
Templates and reuse-friendly patterns reduce development time and accelerate time-to-value.
This glossary covers common terms used in the Beambox to Contacts API integration, including endpoints, triggers, actions, and methods.
A set of rules that allows Beambox to request data from the Contacts API.
An authorization framework that lets Beambox obtain access tokens to call the Contacts API securely.
A specific URL you call to perform actions or retrieve data in the Contacts API.
A permission string that defines what Beambox can access in the Contacts API (e.g., contacts.readonly).
Automatically enrich new Beambox contacts by syncing data from external sources via the Contacts API.
Create and update tasks in Beambox based on events in the Contacts API (e.g., upcoming appointments).
Aggregate contact interactions from both Beambox and external sources into a single timeline in the Contacts API.
Create a Beambox integration in the GHL developer portal and copy the client ID and secret.
Request the contacts.readonly scope and set the necessary redirect URI for Beambox.
Run test requests against endpoints, verify data sync, and monitor logs before going live.
Beambox, using the Contacts API with the scopes you’ve configured (e.g., contacts.readonly), can read basic contact data such as name, email, phone, and assigned tags. You can leverage this to surface up-to-date contact information in Beambox without writing code. For write operations, you’ll need additional permissions and a secure storage flow for tokens.
Common tasks map to specific endpoints: GET /contacts/:contactId to read a contact, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to fetch tasks, POST /contacts/ to create a contact, and PUT /contacts/:contactId to update. For richer workflows, also use notes, appointments, and tags endpoints to keep data in sync across Beambox and the Contacts API.
Authentication is typically handled via OAuth 2.0. Beambox should request a token with the minimum required scopes (starting with contacts.readonly) and securely refresh tokens as needed. Always store tokens securely and avoid exposing secrets in client-side code.
Yes. You can batch update contacts using the appropriate bulk or patch endpoints. Design your workflow to stage changes in Beambox and then submit a single request to update multiple records, reducing API calls and improving reliability.
If you need more than read-only access, you must request additional scopes from the API administrator and complete any required security reviews. Use the least-privilege approach and only enable what you truly need for your integration.
Webhooks are supported to push real-time updates from the Contacts API to Beambox. Configure your webhook endpoint to receive changes such as create/update of contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments, then trigger your automations accordingly.
Endpoint usage guidelines are typically provided in the developer portal. They cover rate limits, pagination, authentication headers, and error handling patterns to help you design stable integrations.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
