Use OAuth 2.0 with the Contacts API scope and refresh tokens, or apply a dedicated API key if your environment supports it. Keep credentials secure and rotate them regularly. Use the scope contacts.readonly for read access during validation.
Generate a Byteplant API key from your Byteplant dashboard and store it securely in the GHL connection. Attach this key to the validator calls and limit its permissions to validation endpoints only.
– GET /contacts/:contactId — Retrieve a contact by ID – GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks — List tasks for a contact – GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Retrieve a specific task – GET /contacts/:contactId/notes — List notes for a contact – GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id — Retrieve a specific note – GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments — List appointments for a contact – GET /contacts/ — List all contacts – GET /contacts/business/:businessId — Retrieve business linked contacts – contacts.write — Write access for contacts (permission scope) – POST /contacts/ — Create a contact – PUT /contacts/:contactId — Update a contact – DELETE /contacts/:contactId — Delete a contact – POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks — Create a task – PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Update a task – PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed — Mark a task complete – DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Delete a task – POST /contacts/:contactId/tags — Tag a contact
Trigger: a contact is updated in Contacts API.
Actions: fetch the contact email, send to Byteplant for validation, then write the validation result back to Contacts API and update the validation status field.
GET /contacts/:contactId
contactId, email, validationStatus
Trigger: a new contact is created via POST /contacts/.
Actions: validate the email with Byteplant, then populate Contacts fields with validationScore and deliverability, and optionally tag invalid records.
POST /contacts/
contactId, email
Trigger: Byteplant validation completes for a contact.
Actions: update Contacts with validationStatus, create a note with the results, and optionally queue a task for follow-up in your workflow.
PUT /contacts/:contactId
contactId, validationStatus, notes
Visual, no-code triggers and actions connect Contacts API and Byteplant without writing a line of code.
Improve deliverability by validating emails at intake and automatically filtering out risky addresses.
Keep contact data clean with automated validation results and cross-platform syncing.
Definitions of endpoints, triggers, actions, fields, and processes used for the GHL + Byteplant flow.
A set of rules that lets GHL talk to Byteplant Email Validator and perform actions via endpoints.
An event that starts an automation, for example contact creation or validation completion.
A specific URL path and HTTP method used to perform an action in an API.
The process of checking emails and data quality to improve campaigns.
Use validation results to create targeted segments in GHL for higher engagement.
Validate emails at signup and form submission to reduce bounces and improve sender reputation.
Automate removal or tagging of invalid addresses to maintain clean lists and deliverability.
Set up OAuth or API key for both services and test the connection.
Match Contacts API fields to Byteplant inputs, with email as the primary field.
Create automated flows that validate emails and push results back to Contacts API.
No coding is required for most users. The integration uses no-code triggers and actions inside GHL’s workflow builder. Connect the Contacts API to Byteplant’s validator using a secure key and map the email field. This setup lets you automate validation without writing code. If you need more customization, you can add webhooks or custom scripts, but the no-code path covers the majority of use cases.
To run email validation, you typically need access to the Contacts API endpoints for reading and creating contacts plus Byteplant’s validation call. The essential paths include GET /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts/, and the Byteplant validation endpoint fed with the email field. Map the email to Byteplant’s input and capture the validation score, deliverability, and status back into Contacts API.
Security relies on standard API authentication (OAuth or API keys), TLS for data in transit, and scoped permissions. Byteplant and GHL both offer key rotation and audit trails, and you should store credentials securely and rotate them regularly.
Yes. You can automate updates to contact records based on validation results by writing back the validationStatus or deliverability score. You can also tag invalid emails or create follow-up tasks to re-validate later.
Latency is typically near real-time, often under a second or two depending on network conditions. For bulk validations, expect batch processing times and plan for incremental results.
If an email fails validation, you can mark it as invalid, suppress it from campaigns, or remove it from active lists. You can also quarantine or tag the contact for manual review.
API keys and endpoints are found in your Byteplant dashboard and in the GHL app connections section. Generate or copy keys, configure permissions, and paste them into the GHL connection to enable the flow.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
