Authenticate to the GHL API using your API key and OAuth scopes. For this integration, scope is set to contacts.readonly to secure read access to contact data.
Authenticate BenchmarkONE to the GHL API using a service-to-service flow or OAuth, with credentials stored securely. Ensure the app has access to read contact data.
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 on contact creation or update in GHL to push changes to BenchmarkONE instantly.
Actions include creating or updating a BenchmarkONE contact, and optionally syncing related notes, tasks, or tags.
POST /contacts/ for creates and PUT /contacts/:contactId for updates
Key mapping: email, firstName, lastName, phone, and externalId for deduplication
Trigger when a contact gains a tag or note is added in GHL to reflect in BenchmarkONE.
Actions include applying tags in BenchmarkONE and creating or updating notes linked to the contact.
POST /contacts/:contactId/notes and POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
Key fields: email, tags, and notesId
Scheduled or on-demand bulk import to BenchmarkONE from GHL.
Actions: batch create/update contacts, reconcile duplicates, attach notes and tasks.
POST /contacts/ (bulk import) and PUT /contacts/:contactId (updates)
Key fields for dedup: email and externalId
No-code integration lets your team automate workflows without writing code.
Real-time data synchronization reduces manual reconciliation.
Prebuilt field mappings and templates speed setup.
This section defines the core data elements, processes, and how they map between GHL and BenchmarkONE.
An individual record in the Contacts resource containing identifiers, names, and contact details.
Application Programming Interface that exposes endpoints to read and write data.
A specific URL path that performs an action against a resource.
A callback URL or event subscription used to notify your app of changes.
Set up a webhook to push contact changes to BenchmarkONE as soon as they occur.
Automatically apply tags and attach notes based on actions in GHL.
Trigger data sync at campaign milestones in BenchmarkONE to maximize engagement.
Obtain and securely store your GHL API key and BenchmarkONE credentials; configure scopes.
Define field mappings for contacts, tasks, notes, and tags between GHL and BenchmarkONE.
Run test syncs, verify data integrity, and monitor for errors.
For a read-only integration, the scope is typically limited to contacts.readonly, which allows your app to fetch and view contact data without modifying it. If write access is needed, you can request an elevated scope with proper security controls and user consent. Always apply the principle of least privilege to minimize risk. In practice, you’ll configure credentials and scopes in your GHL and BenchmarkONE app settings and verify access with a test request to a read endpoint like GET /contacts/:contactId.
The integration primarily uses endpoints that read or write contact-related data: GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments, POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId, and related sub-resources. Depending on your workflow, you may also use POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to create tasks or POST /contacts/:contactId/tags to apply tags. Always map only the fields you need to sync to keep data aligned and secure.
Yes. Bulk updates are supported through bulk import endpoints or by combining create and update operations in a single batch workflow. You can prepare a CSV or JSON payload and send a series of create (POST /contacts/) and update (PUT /contacts/:contactId) calls in a grouped process. During bulk operations, implement deduplication using key fields like email and externalId to avoid duplicates and ensure data cleanliness.
Authentication typically uses a combination of API keys and OAuth tokens. You will securely store credentials in both systems and grant the app access with the appropriate scopes. To test authentication, perform a simple read request (for example GET /contacts/:contactId) to confirm that the connection is valid and that permissions are correctly applied. Rotate credentials regularly as part of your security hygiene.
No-code setup is possible for many tasks, such as mapping fields, configuring triggers, and scheduling syncs. However, advanced workflows or custom business logic may still require minimal scripting or a middleware layer. If you need bespoke behavior, you can implement it via a lightweight automation tool or callouts from your Zapier app connector.
Testing involves running a controlled sync with a small subset of contacts, verifying that the data transfers correctly, and checking for errors or mismatches. Validate fields (name, email, notes, tags) in BenchmarkONE after the transfer, and review logs for any failed requests, retries, or rate limits. Iterate until the test results meet your data integrity requirements.
API documentation for both the GHL and BenchmarkONE sides is available in their respective developer portals. Review endpoint definitions, authentication requirements, payload schemas, and rate limits. Use sample requests and test environments to experiment safely before moving to production. If documentation lacks a needed field, contact support for guidance on mapping and endpoint usage.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
