To access the Contacts API from Contractor Commerce, obtain a secure API key or OAuth token with the required scope: contacts.readonly. Store credentials securely and rotate them periodically to maintain access.
Grant Contractor Commerce access to your GHL Contacts data by completing the OAuth flow or provisioning an API key. Ensure the app receives the minimum permissions needed for your workflows, and review security policies for token handling.
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, contacts.write, 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 when a contact is created or updated in the Contacts API to automatically reflect changes in Contractor Commerce and to create or update related tasks.
Actions include syncing contact fields (name, email, phone), updating related tasks, and attaching notes to ensure a single source of truth.
GET /contacts/:contactId
id, name, email, phone, status
Trigger when new tasks are created in the Contacts API or when task status changes occur.
Actions include creating/updating tasks in Contractor Commerce, syncing due dates, and updating completion status.
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
taskId, title, dueDate, status
Trigger when notes are added or updated for a contact, ensuring notes appear in Contractor Commerce as well.
Actions include creating notes in Contacts API and mirroring them in Contractor Commerce, with proper tagging for context.
POST /contacts/:contactId/notes
noteId, content, author, timestamp
No-code automation enables rapid data flow between tools, reducing manual data entry and errors.
Unified data across contacts, tasks, and notes improves team visibility and decision making.
Repeatable, auditable workflows scale as you add more contacts and processes.
This glossary explains core data elements (contacts, tasks, notes, endpoints) and data mapping concepts used to integrate the GHL Contacts API with Contractor Commerce.
A person or business record stored in the Contacts API.
An action item linked to a contact that can be created, updated, or completed via API.
A text entry attached to a contact to log information or history.
A specific API route you call to perform a given operation.
Push changes from Contacts API to Contractor Commerce as soon as they occur to keep workflows current without manual refresh.
Automatically create or update tasks in Contractor Commerce when tasks are created or updated in Contacts API.
Consolidate notes from Contacts API into Contractor Commerce for a complete contact history in one place.
Obtain a secure API key or OAuth token with the required scope (contacts.readonly) and store it securely.
Map the endpoints listed (contacts, tasks, notes, etc.) to corresponding Contractor Commerce fields and workflows.
Run end-to-end tests to verify data flow, mappings, and automations between the two systems.
You typically need read-only access to contacts data (scope: contacts.readonly) or broader permissions if you plan to write or update data. Use secure credentials and rotate them regularly. Ensure the app has the minimum necessary rights to perform your intended automations. If you’re unsure, start with readonly access and escalate as needed.
Essential endpoints usually include GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, and POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks. These enable syncing core data—contacts, tasks, and notes—which supports most contractor workflows. Additional endpoints like notes, appointments, and business lookups can expand capabilities as needed.
Yes. Depending on your permissions, you can update contact fields from Contractor Commerce. Implement careful data mapping to ensure updates reflect correctly in the Contacts API and maintain data integrity across systems.
Tasks can be created or updated via POST/PUT endpoints, with status and completion updates propagated back to Contractor Commerce. Webhook or polling-based sync can be configured to keep both systems in sync in near real-time.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan. Implement exponential backoff and retries, and design idempotent operations to avoid duplicate records during retries.
Yes. A no-code approach uses built-in connectors and automation builders to connect endpoints, map fields, and define triggers without writing code. This is ideal for rapid prototyping and onboarding.
To test the integration, start with test contacts and tasks, verify data mapping, run trigger scenarios, and monitor logs for any errors. Use sandbox credentials when available and validate end-to-end data flows before going live.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
