To read data from the GHL Contacts API, obtain an OAuth token with the appropriate scopes (for example, contacts.readonly).
Connecteam will request permission to access your GHL data via the API integration. Complete the OAuth flow or API key setup to grant access.
Key endpoints include 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.
Trigger: a contact is selected in Connecteam to pull their latest data from GHL.
Actions: GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments to populate the record.
Methods: GET for the above endpoints.
Key fields: contactId, firstName, lastName, email, phone.
Trigger: edits made in Connecteam propagate to GHL via PUT /contacts/:contactId.
Actions: PUT /contacts/:contactId, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed.
Methods: PUT for the above endpoints.
Key fields: contactId, email.
Trigger: a new contact is created in Connecteam to create a matching record in GHL.
Actions: POST /contacts/, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Methods: POST for new contact and tasks.
Key fields: contactName, email.
Streamline contact management by syncing data in real-time between GHL and Connecteam.
Reduce manual data entry and errors through automated data flow.
Fast onboarding for new contacts with automated workflows.
This glossary defines terms like Contact, Task, Note, Appointment, and explains the API endpoints used to connect GHL with Connecteam.
A person record in GHL representing a client or lead, including contact details and related data.
A to-do item linked to a contact, with status and due date.
A piece of text attached to a contact for context.
Scheduled meeting or call linked to a contact.
Automatically tag contacts in GHL based on Connecteam activity to segment communications.
When a task is created in Connecteam, create a corresponding task in GHL.
Maintain an audit trail across both systems.
Obtain API keys and set scopes (contacts.readonly) to allow read access.
Use OAuth or API key to authorize, then test endpoints.
Verify data sync with test contacts and enable in production.
You authenticate with OAuth 2.0 and include the access token in the Authorization header when calling the GHL Contacts API. The API uses Bearer tokens to authorize requests. Be sure to request scopes like contacts.readonly for read access, and adjust as needed for write access in your integration.
Yes. You can read and write contact data using endpoints such as GET /contacts/:contactId and POST /contacts/ to create or PUT /contacts/:contactId to update. For tasks, notes, and appointments, use GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE variants as described in the endpoint list to keep data in sync.
Available endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments, POST /contacts/, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, PUT /contacts/:contactId, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, DELETE /contacts/:contactId, and more. Use the Endpoint List above as a guide to implement the flows you need in Zapier App Connector or a custom integration.
No-code options like Zapier App Connector or similar iPaaS tools can handle many connections without writing code. If you need custom data transformations or complex logic, a light script or middleware can help, but it’s not required for basic read/write syncing.
Data in transit is encrypted with TLS and your API keys are stored securely. Access controls, least-privilege scopes, and audit logs help protect your connection.
Start with a sandbox or test environment provided by GHL and Connecteam, and use sample data to validate each endpoint. Monitor responses, implement retry logic, and confirm behavior before going live.
If a contact is deleted in GHL, the integration can propagate the deletion to Connecteam, or you can preserve local records and mark them inactive. Consider webhooks or scheduled sync to keep data aligned.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
