Use OAuth credentials with the scope contacts.readonly to authorize Chatsimple to access Contacts data from GHL.
In Chatsimple, connect your GHL account by providing your API credentials and selecting the correct scope to enable read access for Contacts data.
Key endpoints include 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 contact is updated in GHL
Actions: pull contact data into Chatsimple and update related tasks or notes
GET /contacts/:contactId
contactId, name, email
Trigger: new or updated tasks in GHL
Actions: create or update tasks in Chatsimple and sync status
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
contactId, taskId, status
Trigger: notes updated in GHL
Actions: pull notes into Chatsimple and attach to the corresponding contact
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
contactId, notesId
Zero code integration lets teams connect data in minutes without custom development
Automated data synchronization reduces manual updates and keeps records current
Faster onboarding and scalable workflows across your CRM and support touchpoints
Core concepts you should know when integrating GHL and Chatsimple, including endpoints, triggers, actions, and data fields.
A specific URL that allows a program to access or modify data in a service.
An event that starts an automation or workflow.
An operation performed in response to a trigger.
The level of access granted to an app, for example readonly.
Set up a trigger on new contact creation to generate onboarding tasks in Chatsimple.
When a tag is assigned in GHL, push a corresponding tag or label in Chatsimple and segment records.
Sync meeting notes from GHL into Chatsimple notes to power knowledge bases and follow-ups.
Create OAuth credentials in GHL and grant the scope contacts.readonly to Chatsimple.
Map the endpoint paths in Chatsimple and verify data flow with test calls.
Set up scheduled syncs or webhooks to keep data up to date.
The Chatsimple integration with the GHL Contacts API exposes endpoints for retrieving contacts, tasks, notes, appointments, and more. You can also create and update contacts and tasks when you have the proper permissions. Use test calls to verify responses before enabling automation. Next, review your OAuth scopes and ensure the app is granted the read only access you need, and consider requesting additional write permissions if your workflows require it.
Read-only access is sufficient for many reporting and viewing tasks, especially when you only need to pull data into Chatsimple. If you need to modify records or create tasks, you will need write permissions and appropriate scopes. Plan your data flows accordingly to minimize exposure.
Start by attempting a GET call to a known contact ID in a safe test environment. Use the sample payloads in the docs and verify status codes and response shapes. If you see errors, check credentials, scope, and endpoint paths. Use sandbox or development accounts when available.
Yes, provided you have the write permissions and correct scopes. Use POST to create new contacts or POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to create tasks. For updates, use PUT methods on the appropriate endpoints. Always validate responses and handle errors gracefully.
Respect rate limits by batching requests, using exponential backoff retries, and caching results when possible. Implement idempotent calls for safe retries and monitor API usage with your logs and dashboards.
If a field is renamed or removed, adjust your endpoint mappings and data mappings in Chatsimple. Keep a field aliasing strategy and maintain a mapping table so you can translate between GHL and Chatsimple data schemas.
