To begin, generate an API key for the Contacts API and grant the Bubble app the requested permissions (e.g., read-only or read/write). Make sure the key is stored securely and used in the Authorization header for your API calls. The scope for this page is contacts.readonly by default.
Bubble will request consent to access your GHL data. This is typically handled via API Key provisioning; if OAuth is used, complete the standard authorization flow and set your redirection URL accordingly. Always keep credentials secure and rotate keys as needed.
GET /contacts/:contactId — Retrieve a single contact by ID. GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks — List tasks for a contact. GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Retrieve a specific task for a contact. GET /contacts/:contactId/notes — List notes for a contact. GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id — Retrieve a specific note for a contact. GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments — List appointments for a contact. GET /contacts/ — List all contacts. GET /contacts/business/:businessId — List contacts for a specific business. contacts.write — Permission to write contacts (scope) in the API. POST /contacts/ — Create a new contact. PUT /contacts/:contactId — Update a contact. DELETE /contacts/:contactId — Delete a contact. POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks — Create a task for a contact. PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Update a task. PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed — Mark a task as completed. DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Delete a task. POST /contacts/:contactId/tags — Add a tag to a contact.
Trigger: Create or update a contact in Bubble to sync with the GHL contact, or pull the latest data on demand.
Actions: Create or update the contact in GHL; manage related data such as tasks, notes, and tags from Bubble.
METHOD PATH: GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, name, email, phone
Trigger: Bubble creates or updates tasks; corresponding GHL tasks are created or updated automatically.
Actions: Create, update, or delete tasks; read notes and attach to the relevant contact.
METHOD PATH: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: contactId, taskId, title, status
Trigger: Schedule exports or on-demand reports to pull data from multiple endpoints.
Actions: Retrieve lists of contacts, notes, tasks for analytics and dashboards.
METHOD PATH: GET /contacts/ and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
Key fields: contactId, noteId, taskId
Build powerful, data-driven apps without writing server code. Bubble handles the UI and workflow logic while GHL provides structured contact data.
Automate data flows across Bubble and GHL with simple triggers and API calls, reducing manual work.
Extend your Bubble apps with real-time GHL data, enabling dynamic dashboards and responsive automations.
This glossary explains the core terms and processes you’ll encounter when integrating Bubble with the GHL Contacts API.
A secret token used to authenticate requests to the GHL API. Keep it secure and rotate regularly.
A standard authorization flow that lets Bubble obtain access to GHL data without sharing user credentials. Use refresh tokens to maintain access.
A specific URL path for a particular API resource (for example, /contacts/:contactId).
A URL in Bubble that GHL can call to notify events (such as updates to a contact or task).
Build a live dashboard in Bubble that pulls contact data from GHL and displays activities (tasks, notes, appointments) in real time.
Trigger automated follow-up emails or tasks when a contact status changes in GHL.
Aggregate data from Bubble and GHL into a unified analytics page.
Create an API key for the Contacts API and confirm the scope is set to read-only or read/write as needed.
Set up your API calls in Bubble’s API Connector, map response fields, and configure authentication headers.
Test calls in Bubble, confirm data mapping, and deploy automations to production with monitoring.
Obtain an API key from the GHL developer portal and grant the Contacts API scope (for example, contacts.readonly or read/write). In Bubble, configure the API Connector to include the header Authorization: Bearer
The endpoints cover reading contacts, their tasks, notes, and related data, as well as CRUD operations for contacts and tasks. Use GET for retrieval, POST to create, PUT to update, and DELETE to remove records. Nested endpoints let you fetch related data like tasks and notes for a given contact.
Yes. You can write or update contacts via POST /contacts/ and PUT /contacts/:contactId, provided your API key has write permissions. Map Bubble fields to GHL fields (name, email, phone, etc.) and test to ensure updates propagate correctly.
GHL enforces API rate limits based on your account. In Bubble, distribute requests over time, batch when possible, and implement exponential backoff on 429 responses. Consider caching data where freshness requirements allow.
Use Bubble’s API Connector to define endpoints with method, URL, headers, and parameters. Run tests to inspect responses and adjust field mappings. Trigger calls from UI actions to validate end-to-end flows.
No heavy coding is required; the API Connector provides REST access in Bubble. A basic understanding of endpoints and JSON helps you map data and handle errors gracefully.
Implement error handling in Bubble workflows to capture non-200 responses and log details. For transient errors, retry with backoff and set up alerts if failures persist.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
