Authorize requests using your GHL API credentials with the required scope: contacts.readonly. Use OAuth 2.0 tokens or an API key as configured in your GHL developer settings.
Secure CloudCart by validating requests against your GHL account. Store credentials safely, rotate keys regularly, and follow least-privilege access.

Trigger: A contact update in CloudCart prompts a fetch of the latest data from the Contacts API to refresh records.
Actions: Update CloudCart contact fields, attach related notes or tasks, and preserve version history.
Endpoint Path: GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, email, name, phone
Trigger: New contact added in CloudCart creates a corresponding record in the Contacts API.
Actions: Create contact in Contacts API, then initiate associated tasks or reminders.
Endpoint Path: POST /contacts/
Key fields: contactId, createdAt, status
Trigger: Periodic pull for analytics and activity summaries from the Contacts API.
Actions: Retrieve and store contact summaries in CloudCart dashboards and reports.
Endpoint Path: GET /contacts/
Key fields: contactId, summary, lastUpdated
Automate data synchronization between CloudCart and Contacts API without writing code.
Reduce errors with consistent, automated data mapping across systems.

Key elements include endpoints, authentication, data mapping, error handling, and monitoring to keep integrations healthy.
A specific URL pattern you call to retrieve or modify data in an API.
Proving you have permission to access the API, typically via OAuth tokens or API keys.
The process of translating and aligning fields between CloudCart and the Contacts API so data stays in sync.
API call quotas that limit requests per minute or hour to protect services.
Automate tagging or segmentation in CloudCart when Contacts API events indicate a relevant status or trait.
Keep notes synchronized so teams see the latest context in CloudCart workflows.
Create and assign tasks in CloudCart automatically based on Contacts API triggers.
Register your CloudCart app in GHL to obtain a client_id, client_secret, and required scopes (e.g., contacts.readonly).
Set up the API endpoints in CloudCart, map fields, and ensure correct authentication flow.
Run tests, validate data accuracy, and enable automation in production.
The Contacts API is the bridge between CloudCart and your contact records. It exposes read endpoints to fetch contact details, notes, tasks, and more. By using the API, you can keep CloudCart up-to-date with the latest contact information. This integration leverages secure authentication and proper scopes to protect data access while enabling automated workflows between systems.
To authenticate, use the GHL API credentials issued for your app, including the client_id and client_secret. The flow may use OAuth 2.0 tokens or API keys depending on your setup. Ensure the access token includes the required scope contacts.readonly. Store tokens securely and rotate them periodically to reduce risk.
Common endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch a contact, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to fetch tasks, and POST /contacts/ to create a new contact. Depending on your workflow, you may also use notes, appointments, and tagging endpoints. These endpoints cover typical read and write operations used in syncing CloudCart data.
Yes. You can read and write contact data through the allowed endpoints (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE). The access level depends on your OAuth scope and app permissions. Best practice is to test thoroughly in a staging environment before going live.
No code is required for basic synchronization. Use pre-built automations and the connector in Zapier or your integration tool. For advanced flows, you may add custom mappings.
Handle errors by inspecting API response codes, implementing retries with backoff, and logging failures. Use webhooks or event-based triggers where possible to recover gracefully and maintain data integrity.
There are rate limits per API plan. If you exceed quotas, responses will return error codes; space out requests, implement caching, and design idempotent operations to avoid duplicates.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
