To securely access the Contacts API, use OAuth 2.0 tokens or API keys from your GHL developer console with the contacts.readonly scope.
APPNAME should use standard OAuth 2.0 or API keys, with least-privilege permissions, when connecting to the Contacts API.
Representative endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, POST /contacts/ and more to sync contact data, tasks, notes, and details.
Trigger: when you need the latest contact data from GHL
Actions: fetch contact data and sync to APPNAME fields
Method Path: GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: id, name, email, phone
Trigger: contact updated in GHL
Actions: POST /contacts/ or PUT /contacts/:contactId
Method Path: POST /contacts/ or PUT /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: id, name, email
Trigger: new task created in GHL
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Method Path: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: contactId, taskId, title, dueDate
Benefit: automate data sync between GHL and APPNAME without code
Benefit: centralize contact data, tasks, and notes in APPNAME
Benefit: fast setup with API endpoints for repeated workflows
Key elements: endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, and data fields.
Definition: an authorization framework enabling secure access without sharing passwords.
Definition: specific URL paths used to access resources, e.g., GET /contacts/:contactId.
Definition: permissions granted to access certain data, e.g., contacts.readonly.
Definition: event-driven notifications from the API.
Description: when a new form is submitted in GHL, create or update the contact in APPNAME using POST /contacts/.
Description: on task updates in GHL, push updates to APPNAME via PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId.
Description: pull notes from GHL and store in APPNAME notes for searchability.
Description: obtain API keys or OAuth credentials in GHL and configure APPNAME to accept them.
Description: align GHL contact fields with APPNAME fields (name, email, phone, notes).
Description: run test syncs, verify permissions, and enable webhooks if needed.
You need a scope that includes read access to contacts, typically contacts.readonly. Ensure your API keys are kept secure.
Use OAuth 2.0 for secure access. Exchange credentials in GHL and authorize APPNAME to access contacts. Store tokens securely.
Use endpoints like GET /contacts/:contactId and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to keep data in sync between GHL and APPNAME.
Yes. You can trigger task creation in GHL and push updates to APPNAME via POST/PUT endpoints.
Webhooks are supported. Configure event notifications for changes to contacts, tasks, or notes.
No heavy coding required; start with no-code automation builders and simple API calls, then iterate.
View logs in GHL and APPNAME dashboards, and review API response statuses and error messages.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
