Use OAuth 2.0 with the Contacts API and request the scope ‘contacts.readonly’. Obtain an access token from your GHL developer console and store it securely in Builder Prime. Token refresh happens automatically.
Configure your Builder Prime app to use the GHL API client credentials. Keep credentials secure and rotate keys periodically. For production, prefer server-side storage.
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; contacts.write; 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
When a contact is viewed in Builder Prime, fetch the latest data from the Contacts API to refresh the record.
Map the API fields into Builder Prime contact fields and surface related tasks if available.
GET /contacts/:contactId
contactId, name, email, phone, lastActivity
When a task is created or updated in Builder Prime, push changes to GHL via the tasks endpoints.
Create, update, and mark complete using POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, and PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed.
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
taskId, title, dueDate, status, priority
When notes or appointments are added in Builder Prime, sync with GHL so the contact remains up to date.
Sync notes with POST /contacts/:contactId/notes and fetch appointments via GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments.
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
noteId, content, author, date
Faster setup with a visual builder and API-driven data, no custom code required.
Automatic data synchronization reduces manual data entry and mistakes.
Secure OAuth-based credentials with token refreshing enable scalable automation.
This glossary explains common terms and the data flow used to connect Builder Prime with the GHL Contacts API.
Application Programming Interface — a defined set of rules that allow Builder Prime and GHL to communicate.
A specific URL path in an API that performs an action or returns data.
A secure authorization framework that grants limited access to user data without sharing credentials.
Permissions granted to an app (e.g., readonly) that limit what data can be accessed.
Automatically pull missing fields from GHL and populate Builder Prime records to keep data fresh.
Create or update tasks in GHL when Builder Prime actions occur, keeping both systems aligned.
Attach notes from Builder Prime to the relevant contact in GHL to preserve history.
Register your app in the GHL developer portal and request the scope ‘contacts.readonly’.
Enable endpoints 1–17 in your integration settings and verify the base URL.
Create field mappings between Builder Prime contact fields and GHL Contacts fields, with transformations as needed.
The Contacts API provides read access to contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments associated with your CRM. In Builder Prime, you can pull contact details to display in dashboards and use task or note data to drive automation. With the default scope ‘contacts.readonly’, most actions are read-only. If you require write capabilities such as creating or updating records, you would need to request additional permissions (e.g., contacts.write) and ensure proper governance.
No heavy coding is required. Builder Prime’s no-code connectors let you configure data flows between Builder Prime and the GHL API. For advanced scenarios, you can add lightweight scripts or webhooks to customize behavior.
Commonly used endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch a contact, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to see related tasks, and POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to create tasks. Other frequently used calls pull notes and appointments.
Use OAuth 2.0 with short-lived access tokens and refresh tokens. Store tokens securely, rotate keys regularly, and never expose tokens in client-side code.
Yes. You can create tasks via POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks and manage status via PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, enabling automation from Builder Prime.
The integration can be read-only, depending on the scope assigned. If you only need data display, ‘contacts.readonly’ is sufficient.
API rate limits are defined per account and per endpoint. Check your GHL developer console or documentation for the latest quotas and best practices to avoid throttling.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
