To access the Contacts API from GHL, you’ll authenticate with OAuth 2.0 and request the scope: contacts.readonly. Treat your credentials as sensitive and store them securely in Dakno.
In Dakno, create a connected app to obtain a client ID and client secret. Use these credentials to authorize your Dakno instance to access your GHL Contacts data, and refresh tokens as needed.
Core endpoints used during the Dakno–GHL connection 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 – contacts.write
Trigger: when a new or updated contact is created in Dakno, fetch the latest data from the Contacts API and enrich the Dakno profile.
Actions: create or update the contact in the Contacts API, attach notes, and sync tags.
GET /contacts/:contactId to retrieve full contact details before syncing.
Key fields: contactId, email, phone, name
Trigger: a new task is created in Dakno; mirror this as a task in the Contacts API.
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, update status, and reflect completion.
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Fields: taskId, title, dueDate, status
Trigger: Dakno notes are added or updated; push to Contacts API notes for the linked contact.
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/notes, attach relevant IDs, and link back to the contact.
POST /contacts/:contactId/notes
Fields: id, content, createdAt, noteType

You don’t need to be a developer. The Dakno setup provides guided, no-code steps to connect to the Contacts API. If you’re comfortable following a setup wizard, you’ll be up and running quickly. If you run into specifics, consult the Dakno docs or reach out to support for step-by-step help.
You can sync core contact fields (name, email, phone) and related items like tasks and notes. This ensures everyone sees the same record across Dakno and your GHL Contacts data. Use the provided endpoints to map fields precisely and keep data normalized.
Credentials are stored securely and tokens are rotated automatically. Use OAuth 2.0 with scoped access and rotate credentials as recommended to minimize risk. Always follow your organization’s security policies for credentials.
Yes. You can enable or disable endpoints and tailor the triggers and actions to your workflow. The no-code builder provides granular control over which operations run.
If you hit rate limits, implement retry logic and exponential backoff. Review endpoint usage in the Dakno and GHL dashboards and adjust schedules accordingly.
Yes. Test environments let you verify behavior without affecting live data. Create a sandbox Dakno app and connect to a test Contacts API instance.
Logs can be monitored in both Dakno and the GHL integration console. Look for failed requests, latency, and data mismatches to troubleshoot quickly.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
