Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need coding knowledge to set this up?

No heavy coding is required. The integration is designed for marketers and admins to connect BookFunnel with the GHL Contacts API using built-in connectors and simple configuration steps. If you do need custom logic, you can leverage webhooks and workflows to extend capabilities without writing server-side code.

For common workflows, start with GET /contacts/:contactId to retrieve profiles and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to monitor tasks. Also consider GET /contacts/ to list contacts and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes for context around interactions.

Data is transmitted using HTTPS with tokens and restricted scopes. Rotate credentials regularly and limit access to needed endpoints. BookFunnel and GHL support standard OAuth flows and API keys to control who can access what data.

Yes. You can push updates to contact records from BookFunnel by calling PUT /contacts/:contactId with updated fields. Be mindful of conflicts and ensure two-way sync if your workflow requires it.

Rate limits vary by API plan. If you hit limits, implement exponential backoff and batch requests when possible. Caching common data in BookFunnel can reduce repeated calls and improve reliability.

Webhook support is available to push real-time updates from GHL to BookFunnel for key events like contact changes. Configure a secure webhook URL in GHL and validate payload signatures in BookFunnel.
