Blink authenticates to GHL via OAuth 2.0 with the contacts.readonly scope to securely retrieve data. Use the standard redirect flow to grant permissions and refresh tokens as needed.
Blink will request access to GHL using OAuth. Authorize Blink in your GHL account to enable data pulls of contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments.
Primary read-only endpoints 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. Use these to fetch, read, and map contact data into Blink.
Trigger when a sync is initiated for a specific contact ID to pull core details, tasks, notes, and appointments.
Actions fetch contact details, its tasks, notes, and appointments to populate Blink records.
GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments
contactId, name, email, phone
Trigger on a scheduled or manual sync to refresh the contact roster.
Actions pull the full contact list and any business-associated views to Blink.
GET /contacts/, GET /contacts/business/:businessId
contactId, name, company, phone, email
Trigger to fetch a specific task for a given contact.
Actions retrieve a specific task and its status, due date, and associated metadata.
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId
contactId, taskId, status, dueDate
Zero-code integration with a straightforward OAuth setup and ready-to-use endpoints.
Rapid data synchronization between Blink and GHL without custom development.
Secure, scalable access with token-based authentication and granular scopes.
This section covers authentication, endpoints, data mapping, error handling, and rate limits.
An open standard for authorization that Blink uses to access GHL data securely.
A specific URL in the GHL API that Blink can call to read data.
A permission boundary that defines what data Blink can access from GHL.
A mechanism Blink can listen to for real-time updates from GHL (if enabled).
Enhance contact records by pulling extra fields from GHL and updating Blink profiles.
Aggregate related tasks and notes into a single Blink view for each contact.
Pull upcoming appointments and push reminders to Blink’s calendar.
In Blink, open settings and choose Connect to GHL to start the OAuth flow and grant required permissions.
Select which endpoints to sync and map fields such as name, email, and phone to Blink fields.
Run tests, confirm data flows, and enable scheduled sync for ongoing updates.
No coding is required. The Blink setup uses a guided OAuth flow to connect to your GHL account, and you configure which data to pull through a user-friendly interface. If you already connected, you can re-authenticate or adjust scopes anytime. Two-factor steps may be involved depending on your org’s security settings. The interface is designed for non-developers to get up and running quickly.
Blink can access core contact data from GHL, including contacts, their tasks, notes, and appointments within the permitted scope. You can also pull business associations for broader context. Custom fields can be mapped to Blink for consistent data presentation.
Security is built on OAuth 2.0 with token-based authentication and scoped permissions. Access tokens are stored securely, and you can revoke Blink’s access at any time from your GHL account. Data transfer uses encrypted channels to protect information in transit.
Yes. The integration allows you to select which endpoints to sync and map specific fields. You can disable certain data streams or adjust field mappings without writing code, giving you control over what data moves between GHL and Blink.
If a sync fails, check the OAuth status, permission scopes, and endpoint availability. Blink provides logs and error messages with actionable steps. You can re-run the sync from the dashboard after addressing any issues.
Real-time updates depend on endpoint support and webhooks. Read-only access can still sync on a schedule, and some event-driven updates may be available if you enable webhook notifications from GHL. Check your plan and settings for live updates.
To disconnect, go to Blink settings, choose Disconnect from GHL, and confirm. This will revoke Blink’s access to your GHL data. You can re-connect later if needed, re-running the setup from the beginning.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
