To securely access the Contacts API, obtain an API key or OAuth token with the scope ‘contacts.readonly’. Use the token in your requests and keep credentials secure.
In Chanty, connect your GHL integration by entering the OAuth client details and authorizing the app to access Contacts API data.
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
Trigger: when a new contact is added in Contacts API
Actions: create a new task in Chanty with the contact name and key details
GET /contacts/:contactId
contactId, name, email, phone
Trigger: a new note is added for a contact
Actions: post the note to the related Chanty thread or attach it to the contact thread
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
id, content, timestamp, author
Trigger: a new appointment is added or updated
Actions: create a Chanty reminder or attach appointment details to the contact thread
GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments
appointmentId, date, time, location
Automates repetitive workflows without writing code
Keeps teams in sync by updating tasks and notes automatically
Speeds up onboarding and data accuracy
Key elements: endpoints, triggers, actions, and data fields; processes: auth, mapping, error handling.
A person stored in the Contacts API with identifying details and related records.
A text item attached to a contact, used for context and history.
An action item linked to a contact, typically assigned to a user.
A scheduled meeting or call with a contact.
Set up a trigger on contact update to create tasks in Chanty with a summary and due date.
Push notes as comments in the related Chanty thread to maintain context.
Create reminders in Chanty when an appointment is set or updated for a contact.
Obtain OAuth credentials and grant permissions for the Contacts API in Chanty.
Map endpoints to Chanty actions (for example, GET /contacts/:contactId) in your integration app.
Test a workflow that creates tasks and notes based on contact changes.
The integration connects Chanty with the Contacts API to sync contact data, notes, tasks, and appointments. It enables triggers and actions in your automation platform without coding. You can tailor workflows to map fields between apps and keep teams aligned with real time updates.
You will typically need read access for basic data and write permissions if you plan to create or update records. The scope shown for this page is ‘contacts.readonly’, so for write operations a suitable authenticated scope is required. Always follow best practices for credential storage and rotation.
Yes, depending on the configured scope you can write data back to Contacts API. Ensure your OAuth credentials grant the proper write permissions and that your requests handle responses and errors gracefully.
Rate limits depend on the API plan. Implement exponential backoff and retry logic for resilience. Monitor responses to adjust request frequency and avoid hitting quotas.
The page showcases a subset of endpoints such as getting contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments. You can extend integrations to additional endpoints as needed by mapping to Chanty actions.
No code is required for basic automations. Zapier style connectors or similar no code builders let you configure triggers and actions using point and click interfaces. For advanced scenarios, you can add custom code if needed.
Sample workflows are provided in the creative ideas section and step by step steps. You can also export templates from your integration platform or build your own from scratch to fit your team’s processes.
