GHL uses API tokens with a secure authorization flow. Use your API key and set the scope to contacts.readonly or full access as needed. Include your credentials in the Authorization header for every request.
Use the same API credentials to authorize requests from ClickFunnels to GHL. Keep credentials secure, rotate keys regularly, and apply least-privilege access for each integration.
GET /contacts/:contactId — Retrieve a single 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 note GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments — List appointments for a contact GET /contacts/ — List all contacts GET /contacts/business/:businessId — List contacts for a business contacts.write — Write permission for modifying contacts POST /contacts/ — Create a new contact PUT /contacts/:contactId — Update a contact DELETE /contacts/:contactId — Delete a contact POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks — Create a task for a contact PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Update a task PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed — Mark a task as completed DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Delete a task POST /contacts/:contactId/tags — Add tags to a contact
Triggered when you need to fetch a single contact by ID to display up-to-date information in ClickFunnels.
Actions: GET /contacts/:contactId to pull core contact fields; optionally expand related data like tasks and notes.
GET /contacts/:contactId
contactId; name; email; phone; status; owner
Triggered when you need visibility into actions assigned to a contact for timely follow-ups.
Actions: GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to fetch tasks; include filters for status and due date.
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
taskId; title; status; dueDate; assignee
Triggered when you need to update task details or mark a task as completed from ClickFunnels.
PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId
taskId; status; dueDate; description
No-code data sync between ClickFunnels and GHL enables fast setup and ongoing automation without custom scripts.
Automate lead routing, task creation, notes, and tagging based on contact activity and funnel events.
Maintain data consistency across apps with real-time updates and reliable audit trails.
Key elements include authentication, endpoint usage, data objects (contacts, tasks, notes, appointments, tags), and field mappings that drive automation rules.
A URL path and HTTP method used to perform a specific action against an API.
A token granted after authorization that allows access to the API within defined scopes.
A token used to authorize requests to the API, typically passed in the Authorization header.
The process of keeping records in ClickFunnels and GHL aligned through timely updates.
Capture new leads from funnels and instantly push them to GHL as Contacts with tags and notes for rapid follow-up.
Automatically create and assign tasks for sales reps when a contact changes stage in the funnel.
Use endpoint events to add tags that start email or SMS sequences in ClickFunnels when contact activity occurs.
Create a GHL API key or OAuth client in your account and select the Contacts scope for your integration.
Choose read and write permissions (e.g., contacts.readonly and contacts.write) and set the base URL for requests.
Test with sample contacts, then build funnels that trigger actions via the endpoints and monitor results.
Yes. Credentials are stored securely using encrypted vaults and transmitted over HTTPS. Use OAuth 2.0 or API tokens with scoped permissions, and rotate keys regularly to minimize risk. Enforce least-privilege access and audit token usage in your environment. For added protection, monitor for anomalous requests and implement IP whitelisting where possible, ensuring only your ClickFunnels integration can call the GHL API.
You can do most common tasks without writing code by using the endpoints and built-in automation capabilities. If you need custom logic, small scripts or webhooks can be used, but the core connection is designed to be no-code friendly for marketing teams. Leverage templates and sample payloads to accelerate setup and validate data mappings quickly.
For typical reads, use GET /contacts/:contactId and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks. For updates, use PUT /contacts/:contactId or POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks. To add context, pull notes with GET /contacts/:contactId/notes and attach relevant tags with POST /contacts/:contactId/tags. Refer to the endpoint list to tailor requests to your funnel workflows.
Yes. Start in a staging or sandbox environment or use test data to validate connections. Verify that credentials are accepted, endpoints respond correctly, and data mappings align with your ClickFunnels fields. Use sample contacts to confirm read/write operations before going live.
To revoke access, disable the API key or OAuth client in GHL, then rotate credentials. Update your ClickFunnels config with the new credentials and re-authenticate any active connections. Regularly review token lifetimes and revoke unused keys promptly.
Create separate API credentials or scopes for each business unit. This keeps data segregated and simplifies access control. Apply per-business whitelisting and monitor usage by business to prevent cross-tenant data access.
Yes. GHL enforces rate limits on endpoints to ensure stability. If you anticipate high call volumes, contact support to discuss higher quotas or implement batching and caching strategies to stay within limits while maintaining timely data sync.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
