The GHL side uses a scoped API connection. Set the access scope to contacts.readonly to view data while protecting sensitive information. Use tokens or OAuth as configured by your GHL account to authorize requests.
ClockShark establishes a secure connection to the GHL Contacts API. Store credentials securely, rotate them regularly, and use the provided client id and secret to authorize data retrieval and actions.
– 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
Triggered when a contact is created or updated in the GHL system to keep ClockShark in sync with the latest details.
Map key contact fields to ClockShark profile fields, create or update related tasks, and attach notes as updates occur.
Primary methods include GET /contacts/:contactId and related endpoints for tasks, notes, and appointments to reflect changes in real time.
Key fields are contactId, name, email, and phone to maintain accurate person records.
Periodic pulls to keep large contact libraries in sync across both systems.
Bulk mapping and upserts, with clear conflict resolution and field alignment for speed and accuracy.
Useful endpoints include GET /contacts/ and GET /contacts/business/:businessId for scoped pulls.
contactId, businessId, name, email
Triggers when a ClockShark event creates or updates a task, pushing changes to the GHL side.
Use POST and PUT endpoints to create and update tasks and tags, linking directly to ClockShark records.
Key endpoints include POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed, DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, and POST /contacts/:contactId/tags.
contactId, taskId, tagId, status
Faster deployment with a no code setup and safer data access through scoped permissions.
Prebuilt mappings reduce manual data entry and minimize human error during sync.
Easy testing and troubleshooting with ready to use endpoints and sample data.
A quick glossary of how endpoints, methods, and field mappings work together to connect ClockShark with the GHL Contacts API.
A defined URL path that performs a specific action in the API, such as fetching a contact or creating a task.
The method by which a client proves identity to access the API, typically via tokens or OAuth.
A notification sent from the API to ClockShark to signal events such as updates.
An open standard for token based authorization used to grant access without sharing passwords.
Consolidate contact details from GHL into a single ClockShark profile for quick reference
Automatically tag contacts and spin up tasks in ClockShark when CRM updates occur
Schedule reminders and appointments in ClockShark driven by GHL events
Register a client in the GHL developer portal, request the Contacts read only scope, and note your client id and secret
Set up the endpoint references in ClockShark and map GHL fields to ClockShark fields
Run tests, verify data integrity, and enable live syncing
The integration uses a scoped API connection with contacts.readonly to control what data is visible. This ensures you can view contact information without granting full write access. Use secure tokens and follow best practices for credential storage. The goal is a safe yet functional data flow between ClockShark and the GHL Contacts API.
Coding is not required for basic setups if you use the visual integration tools available in ClockShark. However, some advanced scenarios may benefit from light scripting or custom mappings. You can start with no code and then add scripts only if needed to handle edge cases.
Essential endpoints typically include GET /contacts/:contactId to pull contact data, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to fetch tasks, and POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to create tasks. For updates and completion status you will also use PUT and DELETE variants as needed. These endpoints cover most task management flows in ClockShark.
Yes. You can set triggers so that updates in GHL create or update tasks in ClockShark. By aligning field mappings and using the appropriate endpoints, automatic task creation and state changes can be achieved with minimal manual steps.
Testing involves running a dry run against a sandbox or staging environment. Use sample contact records, verify mappings, check response data, and review logs for any errors. Validate that tasks and notes reflect correctly after each operation.
Logs and errors can be viewed in the ClockShark integration console or in the GHL API dashboard. Look for request responses, rate limits, and data mismatch alerts. Use test endpoints with mock data to reproduce issues safely.
No code options are available to get started quickly. If you need deeper customization, you can progressively add lightweight automation or scripts. The framework supports both no code and code assisted enhancements.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
