Frequently Asked Questions

What data can I access with the Contacts API?

The Contacts API lets you retrieve core contact data, as well as associated tasks, notes, and appointments. You can build read-only workflows to surface information in CoSchedule. If you need more, you can use additional endpoints to fetch related records. This page focuses on practical, no-code use cases that help you automate common CRM workflows between GHL and CoSchedule.

Yes. You can connect using Zapier without writing code. Set up the GHL connection, then create actions and triggers in Zapier to move data between Contacts API and CoSchedule. For advanced mappings, you may opt to add a little logic in your Zapier workflow.

Yes. You can update task status using PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed and create or modify tasks with POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks. Ensure you have the proper permissions (e.g., contacts.write) and test changes in a sandbox environment first.

This page highlights endpoints 1 through 17, including reads for contacts, tasks, notes, appointments, and basic write operations like creating and updating records. Not every endpoint is required for every workflow, but they are available if you need deeper integration.

Read-only access (scope: contacts.readonly) allows you to fetch data without making changes. If you need to modify data, your integration must request write permissions (e.g., contacts.write) and implement appropriate safeguards.

Use standard API error responses and status codes to diagnose issues. Respect rate limits by batching requests and implementing retry logic. If you hit a limit, slow the request rate and retry after the suggested window.

Consult the developer docs for endpoint details and field mappings. You can also reach out to support for guidance on mapping complex data fields between GHL and CoSchedule.
