Use secure OAuth 2.0 and API keys to access the Contacts API. Ensure the access token has the appropriate scope (contacts.readonly) and store credentials securely in your GHL developer portal.
Authenticate Crazy Egg against the GHL connection using a secure API key or OAuth flow provided by the platform. Keep credentials secret and rotate regularly.
– 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 new visitor event or form submission occurs in Crazy Egg, create or update the corresponding contact in the Contacts API.
Actions: upsert contact, append notes, create related tasks.
Endpoint used: POST /contacts/ (create) or PUT /contacts/:contactId (update).
Key fields: email, name, phone, lead source.
Trigger: on new or updated contact to apply a tag based on Crazy Egg activity.
Actions: add tag, update contact notes.
Endpoint: PUT /contacts/:contactId/tags.
Key fields: contactId, tagId.
Trigger: form submission in Crazy Egg triggers task creation in Contacts API.
Actions: create task, set due date, assign to user.
Endpoint: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks.
Key fields: contactId, taskId, subject.
No-code setup lets non-developers automate workflows quickly without custom coding.
Visual workflow builders enable rapid iteration and easy maintenance of data sync between Crazy Egg and the Contacts API.
Centralized error handling and logs simplify troubleshooting and collaboration across teams.
This glossary explains API terms, endpoints, triggers, and actions used to connect Crazy Egg with the Contacts API.
An application programming interface that allows different software systems to communicate over the web.
A callback mechanism that lets one app push data to another in real time.
Authorization framework for obtaining access tokens to call the API securely.
A specific URL in an API that performs a defined operation, such as retrieving or updating data.
Automatically append Crazy Egg visitor events as notes on the corresponding contact in the Contacts API.
When a Crazy Egg form is submitted, create a task in the Contacts API with due date and owner.
Apply or update tags on contacts based on Crazy Egg activity to enable dynamic segmentation.
Set up secure authentication for both apps, obtaining access tokens with the correct scopes.
Choose the endpoints you need (e.g., GET /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts/) and map fields like email, name, and notes.
Run tests, verify data flows, and enable automatic syncing in production.
Start with a simple, practical endpoint like GET /contacts/:contactId to pull existing contact data. Use this to validate authentication and field mapping. Then build a small, end-to-end workflow that pulls a contact’s latest notes and tasks so you can verify the data flows between Crazy Egg and the Contacts API without overhead.
No coding is required if you are using a no-code automation builder. You can connect endpoints, map fields, and configure triggers with a visual interface. For more advanced flows, you may supplement with lightweight scripts or use the Zapier App Connector features, but most scenarios can be implemented without writing code.
Use OAuth 2.0 for secure access and rotate credentials regularly. Store tokens in a secret manager and limit their scope to the minimum necessary for the integration. Validate tokens via your provider’s token verification process and ensure the correct scopes (such as contacts.readonly) are granted for the tasks you intend to perform.
Yes. You can customize which fields sync by mapping Crazy Egg form fields to the corresponding Contacts API fields (for example, email, name, notes). Establish a test dataset to confirm that changes in Crazy Egg reflect correctly in Contacts without data loss.
Yes. Use a sandbox or test environment to validate flows before production. Review logs, verify data consistency, and run through typical user scenarios to ensure the integration behaves as expected.
Common errors include invalid or expired tokens, missing scopes, and 404s when a contactId does not exist. Resolve by refreshing tokens, updating scopes, verifying the endpoint path, and confirming the target contactId exists in the system.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan and API usage. Check the developer docs for quotas and best practices. If you approach the limits, implement backoff strategies, batch requests where possible, and optimize field mappings to reduce unnecessary calls.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
