Authenticate requests to the Contacts API with OAuth 2.0 or API keys. Ensure the scope matches the needs such as contacts.readonly and keep credentials secure.
In Beeminder configure and securely store the OAuth credentials or API token that grants access to your GHL Contacts data. Use the app connection settings to authorize the link.
Endpoints used in this guide include: GET /contacts/:contactId GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId GET /contacts/:contactId/notes GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments GET /contacts/ GET /contacts/business/:businessId POST /contacts/ PUT /contacts/:contactId DELETE /contacts/:contactId POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
Trigger when a contact is created or updated in GHL and fetch the latest tasks to sync with Beeminder
Actions include creating or updating Beeminder goals and linking tasks to contacts
Method path: GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: contactId taskId status
Trigger when notes are added or updated for a contact or when an appointment is created
Actions include mirroring notes to Beeminder and scheduling reminders from appointments
Method path: GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
Key fields: contactId id
Trigger on tag changes or daily summary events
Actions include posting tags and creating summary records in Beeminder
Method path: POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
Key fields: contactId tagId
Build and deploy powerful automation without writing code
Create a smooth data flow between Beeminder and GHL Contacts to align teams
Track changes with an auditable trail and adjust processes as needed
Essential data elements include contacts tasks notes appointments and tags. Core processes cover authentication data mapping error handling and testing used in this integration.
A person in your GHL Contacts database that you interact with through Beeminder
A unit of work linked to a contact that tracks progress toward a goal
Free form comments or context attached to a contact
A specific URL path used to perform an action via the API
Automatically feed Beeminder goals from contact activity in GHL and update progress as tasks are completed
Trigger Beeminder reminders when a contact reaches a stage or tag to keep them on track
Log changes in notes and tasks so Beeminder provides an auditable activity history
Register your app in Beeminder and create API credentials on the GHL side then securely store tokens
Map the GHL Contacts fields to Beeminder fields to ensure accurate data syncing
Run end to end tests monitor the integration and roll out to production with logging enabled
No code is required for many Beeminder and GHL integrations. You can set triggers actions and field mappings using the built in connectors. If you need deeper customization you can extend with API calls. The goal is to enable automation without custom development while still allowing advanced users to tailor flows.
Syncing typically uses read endpoints such as GET /contacts/:contactId GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks GET /contacts/:contactId/notes GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments and GET /contacts. For creating and updating data you will use POST PUT and DELETE variants like POST /contacts/ PUT /contacts/:contactId POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks POST /contacts/:contactId/tags and others as needed.
Authentication is performed with OAuth 2.0 or API keys. Store credentials securely rotate tokens regularly and use the minimal scope required for your workflow. When possible prefer token based authentication over embedding credentials in requests.
Yes you can write data to Contacts. Use endpoints such as POST /contacts/ PUT /contacts/:contactId POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks POST /contacts/:contactId/tags and related write operations. Ensure your app has the appropriate write scope and proper validation checks.
API rate limits vary by provider. Plan retries with exponential backoff and cache frequent lookups where appropriate. Monitor quota usage in the Beeminder and GHL dashboards and adjust polling frequency accordingly.
To troubleshoot check the error messages returned by the API inspect credentials and verify endpoint paths. Use test requests to validate responses and enable logging in both Beeminder and GHL to capture failures for diagnosis.
Logs are available in the Beeminder app and in the GHL integration section. Review error codes timestamps and payloads to identify issues. If needed contact support with the failure details and your configuration screenshots.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
