The integration uses the API’s scope: contacts.readonly to securely retrieve contact data while keeping your data safe.
Cronfree securely stores and uses your API credentials to request data from the Contacts API and to push new tasks and notes as needed.
Core endpoints include: 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, 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 added or updated, Cronfree pulls the latest data to adjust schedules.
Actions: fetch contact details, pull related tasks and notes, and create or adjust scheduling tasks as needed.
GET /contacts/:contactId
id, firstName, lastName, email, phone, nextAppointment, tasksCount
Trigger: new or updated tasks trigger Cronfree actions to keep task lists in sync.
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to create tasks; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId to update; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to read.
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
taskId, title, dueDate, status, priority
Trigger: notes or appointments are added or updated in GHL.
Actions: GET /contacts/:contactId/notes and GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments; optionally create follow-up tasks or reminders.
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
noteId, appointmentId, subject, datetime
Automate appointment scheduling and task creation without writing code.
Centralize contact data and tasks in one no-code workflow for faster automation.
Keep data synchronized across apps with event-driven triggers and dashboards.
This section defines API endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, and data mapping essential for a successful GHL Contacts API to Cronfree integration.
A specific URL path that performs a defined operation in the API when called over HTTP.
The process of proving identity and permission to access API resources, typically via tokens or OAuth.
An event-based signal that initiates a workflow in Cronfree when data changes.
A to-do item associated with a contact within Cronfree and your workflow.
As soon as a new contact enters the CRM, Cronfree creates a welcome checklist and initial follow-up tasks to get them engaged.
When team members add notes or updates, Cronfree automatically schedules timely follow-ups to keep momentum.
Aggregate completed tasks and upcoming appointments into dashboards for visibility and reporting.
Collect your API key and client secret; ensure scope is set to contacts.readonly for read access.
Enter the required endpoint paths and test tokens in Cronfree; verify data mapping.
Run test requests, confirm data integrity, and enable automation in production.
The GHL Contacts API provides programmatic access to your contact data, including basic profile fields, tasks, notes, and appointments. Cronfree uses this API to pull data and automate scheduling and task creation without manual entry. With the appropriate scope and credentials, you can safely integrate and extend your workflows across apps while keeping data synchronized.
No traditional coding is required. This guide shows a no-code integration using Cronfree’s connectors and the GHL API endpoints. You configure endpoints, authenticate, and map data to trigger actions automatically. If you need advanced customization, you can always add custom scripts, but many workflows run fully within the no-code interface.
The required permission is the contacts.readonly scope to fetch contact data. Depending on actions you enable, you may also need write permissions for tasks or notes, but Cronfree will request access tokens with the necessary scopes and handle refresh automatically. Always follow least-privilege principles and rotate credentials regularly.
Yes. You can read contacts, notes, tasks, and appointments using the specified endpoints. Cronfree will fetch these records to keep your workflows up to date and to drive scheduling logic. Note that some read operations may be subject to API rate limits.
Triggers are event-based signals from GHL, such as new notes, new tasks, or updated appointments. Cronfree listens for these triggers and runs the associated actions to keep data in sync. You can also set time-based triggers or scheduled checks if needed.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan and API usage. If you exceed limits, Cronfree will back off and retry according to the provider’s guidelines while preserving data integrity. Consider batching requests and caching results where appropriate.
If credentials expire, use the refresh flow to obtain a new access token without user intervention. Cronfree stores tokens securely and will automatically refresh as needed. Keep your API keys secure and rotate them periodically for best security.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
