Authenticate requests to the Contacts API with your GHL API token and the scope contacts.readonly. Use secure storage and rotate keys regularly.
Content Snare authenticates via your API key or token when performing requests to the connected endpoints. Keep credentials secure and limit scope.
Useful endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch a contact, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks for tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes for notes, POST /contacts/ to create, PUT /contacts/:contactId to update, and PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed to mark completion, among others such as GET /contacts/ to list contacts and POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to create tasks.
Triggered when a new Content Snare form is submitted or an existing contact needs updated data; fetch contact details and related tasks from the Contacts API.
Pull contact information, notes and tasks into Content Snare and update related content without writing data back unless needed.
GET /contacts/:contactId
contactId, name, email, phone, tasks, notes
Triggered on Content Snare form submission to create or update a contact in the Contacts API.
Use POST /contacts/ to create and PUT /contacts/:contactId to update, optionally creating related tasks via POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
POST /contacts/; PUT /contacts/:contactId
businessId, contactId, name, email
Triggered when a Content Snare task reaches completion; sync that status with the corresponding task in the Contacts API.
Update task status via PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed and optionally modify the task via PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId
PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed
contactId, taskId, status

Authentication to the Contacts API with Content Snare uses a GHL API token with the scope set to contacts.readonly. Store credentials securely and rotate them regularly. You can test connectivity using a simple GET call for a contact. If the call succeeds you know the token works and you can proceed to map fields.
The Contacts API supports read endpoints like GET /contacts/:contactId and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks as well as write endpoints such as POST /contacts/ PUT /contacts/:contactId and PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed. Use careful mapping to ensure data is written to the right records.
No complex code is required. Content Snare provides point and click configuration to connect to the Contacts API. Use field mapping and test mode to validate data flows before going live.
Map fields by matching Content Snare fields to the Contacts API fields such as name email and taskId. Use sample mappings and validate with test data.
Yes you can test in a sandbox or with a test contact. Review logs and responses to verify data sync. Adjust mappings as needed.
Rate limits apply per token. If you hit limits reduce call frequency or cache results and batch requests where possible.
API keys and tokens are available in your GHL developer console. Store them securely and grant only the necessary scope. Rotate tokens regularly.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
