Use OAuth 2.0 or API keys to authenticate requests. The available scope for this integration is: contacts.readonly by default; request elevated permissions if you need write access.
During setup, configure OAuth credentials for Chiirp so the app can securely access GHL data through the Contacts API. Store tokens securely and rotate them as needed.
GET /contacts/:contactId — Retrieve a single contact; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks — List a contact’s tasks; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Get a specific task; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes — List notes for a contact; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id — Get a specific note; GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments — List appointment for a contact; GET /contacts/ — List all contacts; GET /contacts/business/:businessId — List contacts for a business; contacts.write — 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 — Add tags to a contact.
Trigger: When a contact is opened in Chiirp, fetch the contact’s core details from the Contacts API to sync data.
Actions: GET /contacts/:contactId to pull basic details; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to pull related tasks; optional GET /contacts/:contactId/notes for notes.
GET /contacts/:contactId
contactId, name, email, phone, tags, lastModified
Trigger: When a task list is needed for a contact in Chiirp workflows.
Actions: GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to retrieve all tasks; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId for specifics.
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
contactId, taskId, status, dueDate, title
Trigger: Drill into a task from a contact’s detail view to fetch full task data.
Actions: GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId to fetch task details; optional GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id for related notes.
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId
contactId, taskId, status, title, description, dueDate
Unified automation: Build powerful data flows between Chiirp and the Contacts API without writing code.
Faster onboarding: Reduce manual data entry by syncing contacts, tasks, and notes automatically.
Flexible extensions: Use endpoints and triggers to tailor workflows to your business needs.
This glossary defines essential terms used in the Chiirp–Contacts API integration, including endpoints, triggers, actions, authentication methods, and data types.
Application Programming Interface: a defined interface that allows Chiirp to request data from the Contacts API and receive responses in a standardized format.
A specific URL in the API that performs a defined operation (for example, GET /contacts/:contactId).
OAuth is a secure authorization framework used to grant Chiirp access to GHL data without sharing credentials.
A mechanism for real-time notifications when data changes in the Contacts API, enabling near-instant updates in Chiirp.
Automatically pull notes and task history to enrich contact records in Chiirp.
Create tasks in GHL from Chiirp events like new signups or updates.
Keep contact updates in both systems in sync to prevent data drift.
Generate OAuth credentials and authorize Chiirp to access the Contacts API securely.
Map the Contacts API endpoints to Chiirp actions and set authentication details.
Run tests with sample contacts, validate data flows, and deploy to production.
Yes. The default scope is read-only (contacts.readonly), which limits changes to existing data. If you need write access, request elevated permissions and update the integration configuration. Always test changes in a sandbox or staging environment first. In production, ensure you follow best practices for credential storage and least-privilege access.
Key endpoints include: GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, and POST/PUT/DELETE variants for creating, updating, and removing data as needed. Your exact usage depends on the flows you build in Chiirp. Refer to the endpoint list in the Endpoint section for a full mapping.
Authentication uses OAuth 2.0 with token rotation and secure storage of credentials. Always use HTTPS and enforce least privilege on scopes. Rotate secrets regularly. Audit logs should capture access events for compliance.
Yes, with proper permissions you can write back via endpoints like POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks and PUT /contacts/:contactId. You’ll need to request the appropriate scope and configure your app credentials accordingly. Test write operations in a controlled environment before enabling in production.
Rate limits depend on the service plan and endpoint type. Typical limits apply per user or per API key. If you hit a limit, implement retry logic with backoff and consider caching frequently accessed data. For production apps, plan requests and stagger simultaneous calls to avoid throttling.
No-code is a core benefit here. You can build powerful automations in Chiirp using the provided endpoints and triggers without writing code. For advanced use cases, simple scripting can be layered atop the no-code flows. Always validate flows with test data before going live.
Test using a staging workspace or sandbox with sample contacts. Validate data integrity, authentication, and error handling. Once you’re satisfied with results, deploy to production and monitor for issues.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
