Access the Contacts API using your API key with the appropriate scope (contacts.readonly). Include the key in the Authorization header as a Bearer token, or follow OAuth flow if your credentials support it.
Register for a Byteplant API key and use it to authenticate requests. Include the Byteplant key in the Authorization header (or as the recommended Byteplant header) and constrain usage to address verification endpoints.
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 when a new contact is created in Contacts API, then validate the address with Byteplant and save the verified address back to the contact record.
Actions: use POST /contacts/ to create a new contact, call Byteplant for address verification, and update the contact with the validated address fields.
POST /contacts/ (create); then POST to Byteplant validation endpoint and PUT /contacts/:contactId to store results.
Key fields: contactId, street, city, state, postalCode, country, Byteplant validation response, verifiedAddress.
Trigger when address fields change, re-validate with Byteplant, and refresh the stored address.
Actions: PUT /contacts/:contactId to update the address after validation; optionally keep a separate validation log.
PUT /contacts/:contactId (address update) with Byteplant verification.
Key fields: contactId, address fields, validationStatus, validatedAddress.
Scheduled batch job to fetch contacts periodically and validate addresses in bulk.
Actions: GET /contacts/ to retrieve records, call Byteplant on each address, and update valid results back to Contacts API.
GET /contacts/; subsequent Byteplant calls to validate; PUT /contacts/:contactId to store results.
Key fields: contactId, lastValidated, address components, validationStatus, verifiedAddress.
No-code automations let non-developers build reliable address verification flows inside your CRM with drag-and-drop tools.
Improved data quality reduces undeliverable mail, improves segmentation, and boosts deliverability and trust.
Faster onboarding and fewer manual corrections save time and resources for sales and customer success teams.
This section defines core elements: endpoints, triggers, actions, fields, and processes used to connect the GHL Contacts API with Byteplant Address Validator.
A record representing an individual or organization stored in the Contacts API, including name, address, and contact details.
A specific API URL path used to perform an operation on a resource, such as GET /contacts/:contactId or POST /contacts/.
The method used to prove identity to the API, typically an API key, token, or OAuth flow.
A callback URL or event stream that notifies you of changes in real time or on a schedule for automation.
Automatically validate addresses as new contacts are imported, ensuring data integrity from day one.
Create a live dashboard showing validation status, error rates, and top address issues across your dataset.
Implement retry logic with backoff for transient Byteplant errors to keep data in sync without manual intervention.
Obtain a readonly Contacts API key and a Byteplant API key, then securely store them in your integration platform.
Map address fields from Contacts to Byteplant input, and define which Byteplant fields feed back into Contacts.
Create automations to validate on create/update and propagate verified addresses back to Contacts.
No-code options are available via the Zapier App Connector and visual workflow builders. You can configure triggers, actions, and mappings without writing code. If you prefer, you can also implement custom logic in your own server or automation platform. Two common patterns are to validate on create and on update, then store the verified address back in Contacts.
If validation fails, you can retry after a short interval or fall back to storing the original address with a flag indicating validation is pending. You can also route failed records to a dedicated queue for manual review. The workflow should surface useful error messages to help resolve issues quickly.
Yes. Schedule a batch or nightly run that fetches contacts, validates their addresses via Byteplant, and updates the records. This helps maintain data quality across large datasets without triggering on every single update.
Store API keys securely in your integration platform using secret management features. Rotate keys regularly and use scoped permissions (readonly for fetches, write for updates). Never embed keys in client-side code or publicly accessible pages.
Yes. You can choose which components to validate (e.g., street, city, and postal code) and decide whether to enforce QA checks before saving. This allows you to balance validation rigor with performance.
Validation results appear in your automation logs and, if configured, in a dedicated validation field on the contact record. You can also enable webhooks to push alerts when validation fails or succeeds.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
