Access to the Contacts API requires an OAuth 2.0 flow or API key-based authentication, depending on your GHL setup. This section explains the recommended approach for secure requests.
Clientjoy uses a secure connection to authorize requests to the Contacts API. Configure credentials in your Clientjoy app and ensure scopes match the required access (contacts.readonly).
GET /contacts/:contactId — Retrieve a single contact\nGET /contacts/:contactId/tasks — List tasks for a contact\nGET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Retrieve a specific task\nGET /contacts/:contactId/notes — List notes for a contact\nGET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id — Retrieve a note\nGET /contacts/:contactId/appointments — List appointments for a contact\nGET /contacts/ — List all contacts\nGET /contacts/business/:businessId — List contacts by business\nPOST /contacts/ — Create a contact\nPOST /contacts/:contactId/tasks — Create a task for a contact\nPUT /contacts/:contactId — Update a contact\nPUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Update a task\nPUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed — Mark a task as completed\nDELETE /contacts/:contactId — Delete a contact\nDELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Delete a task\nPOST /contacts/:contactId/tags — Add tags to a contact
Trigger: When you need to pull or sync a specific contact by ID from Clientjoy into your CRM.
Actions: fetch the contact, map fields like name, email, phone, and custom tags to CRM fields.
GET /contacts/:contactId
id, firstName, lastName, email, phone, tags
Trigger: When you need to populate Clientjoy with your entire contact list from the API.
Actions: bulk retrieve, filter by business, and map to Clientjoy fields.
GET /contacts/
id, name, email, phone
Trigger: When you need to view or sync a contact’s tasks from Clientjoy.
Actions: pull tasks, update status, and attach to the contact record.
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
taskId, title, dueDate, status, completed
Set up integrations in minutes without custom code.
Real-time data sync across your contact records, tasks, notes, and appointments.
Easy maintenance with built-in field mapping and error handling.
Quick definitions of terms used throughout this guide and how they relate to GHL and Clientjoy integration.
Application Programming Interface that enables two systems to communicate data and actions.
Process to verify identity and authorize API requests (e.g., OAuth 2.0 or API keys).
Specific URL path and method used to perform a function in an API.
Event-driven HTTP callback that notifies systems of changes in real time.
Automatically create or sync new Clientjoy records in GHL as contacts, with mapped fields.
Keep notes, tasks, and properties in perfect sync between systems.
Use webhooks to trigger Clientjoy workflows based on GHL events.
Collect your API keys or OAuth client details from both systems.
Set the required scopes like contacts.readonly and map fields to Clientjoy.
Run test calls to verify data flow and error handling.
No-code setup is possible with the right connectors. You can configure apps and mappings in a few clicks. If needed, bring in a developer for complex data transformations.\nThe guide sections walk through authentication, endpoints, and error handling to help you get started quickly.
Key endpoints include retrieving a contact, listing tasks, and updating records. Start with GET /contacts/:contactId and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, then extend to notes and appointments as needed.\nUse bulk fetch and field mappings to keep data aligned across systems.
Use OAuth 2.0 or API keys, depending on your setup. For most teams, OAuth with refresh tokens offers the best balance of security and convenience.\nStore credentials securely and rotate them regularly.
Yes. You can map API fields to Clientjoy fields in your data pipeline. Define field mappings and validation rules to ensure data integrity.\nTest mappings with sample records to verify accuracy.
Rate limits vary by endpoint; plan requests accordingly. Use pagination for large lists and implement retry logic with exponential backoff.\nMonitor usage in your dashboard to avoid throttling.
Webhooks notify Clientjoy of changes in GHL data in real time. Configure endpoints in Clientjoy to receive updates and trigger workflows.
You can find API documentation in the GHL developer portal and in Clientjoy’s integration guide. Look for sections on authentication, endpoints, and error handling.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
