Authenticate API calls with your GHL access token and keep credentials secure in your app. Use the recommended authentication method for requests to the Contacts API.
Authenticate Chargify calls using your Chargify API token. Store credentials securely and rotate keys as needed.
Key endpoints cover reading, creating, updating, and deleting contacts, plus related data (tasks, notes, appointments, and tags). Examples include: GET /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId, DELETE /contacts/:contactId, and additional endpoints for tasks, notes, and tags.
Trigger: a contact is created or updated in GHL to immediately reflect changes in Chargify.
Actions: fetch contact data via GET /contacts/:contactId and upsert in Chargify using POST /contacts/ or PUT /contacts/:contactId.
GET /contacts/:contactId
Required fields: contactId, email, firstName, lastName, phone
Trigger: a new GHL contact creates a corresponding Chargify customer.
Actions: POST /contacts/ to create a Chargify customer; map essential fields; store the Chargify customerId for future syncs.
POST /contacts/
Key fields: email, name, phone, businessId
Trigger: updates to a GHL contact prompt creation or update of notes and tasks in Chargify.
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/notes, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, and PUT /contacts/:contactId to keep fields aligned.
POST /contacts/:contactId/notes; POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; PUT /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, noteId, taskId
Faster onboarding by auto-provisioning Chargify customers as they enter GHL.
Cleaner, unified data across GHL and Chargify reduces duplicates and manual work.
Powerful automations remove repetitive data entry and human error.
This glossary defines the terms and processes used to connect GHL’s Contacts API with Chargify, including authentication, endpoints, and data mapping.
GHL’s API surface for reading and managing contacts, tasks, notes, appointments, and related data.
Billing and subscription platform integrated via the API to manage customers and charges.
A path and HTTP method used to perform a specific action against an API.
Token-based or key-based proof of identity for API requests, ensuring secure access.
Automatically create Chargify customers when a contact is created or updated in GHL, ensuring accurate billing and onboarding.
Sync notes and tasks from GHL to Chargify to keep all customer context in one place.
Implement access controls and audit trails for API calls between GHL and Chargify.
Collect GHL API token and Chargify API token, set scopes, and test in a sandbox environment.
Define mappings between GHL contact data and Chargify customer fields; configure endpoint calls and error handling.
Run tests, enable logging, review results, then deploy to production.
You can sync core contact data, including names, emails, and IDs, between GHL and Chargify. This ensures you have the latest customer context in billing and CRM. You can also sync related data such as notes, tasks, and appointments to keep teams aligned. For best results, map fields carefully and validate data formats before upserting records. The setup supports real-time and batched synchronization to fit your workflow.
Authentication uses tokens or API keys issued by GHL and Chargify. Store tokens securely, rotate regularly, and apply least-privilege scopes. Use sandbox/test credentials during implementation. Include error handling for expired tokens and unauthorized requests. Monitor token validity and automate renewal where possible.
Typical required endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId, DELETE /contacts/:contactId, plus related endpoints for tasks, notes, and tags. Map fields one-to-one where possible, and use IDs to link records across systems. Depending on your needs, you may also call GET /contacts/ to list records and GET /contacts/business/:businessId for business-level data.
Yes. You can enable automated syncing of notes and tasks by triggering events from GHL to Chargify. Keep in mind rate limits and ensure you batch updates when appropriate to avoid throttling. Use idempotent operations to prevent duplicates when retries occur.
Yes, there can be API rate limits. Plan around batching and backoff strategies. Use webhooks where available to receive real-time updates without polling. Implement retry logic and monitor usage dashboards to stay within quotas.
When errors occur, log details, retry with exponential backoff, and alert your team. Implement idempotent endpoints to avoid duplicate records. Validate inputs, handle network failures gracefully, and maintain a clear incident workflow.
Monitor the integration via dashboards that show API usage, error rates, and sync status. Set up alerts for failures or latency and review audit trails regularly to ensure data integrity and security.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
