Access to the Contacts API requires secure authentication via OAuth 2.0 tokens or an API key. Your Databox connection should request the contacts.readonly scope to read contact data.
Databox authenticates to GHL using the credentials provided in your app settings. Store tokens securely and rotate them regularly to protect sensitive contact information.
– GET /contacts/:contactId — retrieve a specific contact – GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks — fetch tasks for a contact – GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — fetch a specific task – GET /contacts/:contactId/notes — retrieve notes for a contact – GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id — retrieve a single note – GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments — list appointments for a contact – GET /contacts/ — list contacts – GET /contacts/business/:businessId — list contacts by business – POST /contacts/ — create a new contact – PUT /contacts/:contactId — update a contact – DELETE /contacts/:contactId — delete a contact – POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks — create a task for a contact – PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — update a task – PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed — mark task as completed – DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — delete a task – POST /contacts/:contactId/tags — add tags to a contact

Zero‑code integration lets you connect Databox to GHL without custom development.
Fast setup using OAuth or API keys, pre-built connectors, and intuitive mapping.
Real‑time data sync keeps your dashboards current for proactive insights.
Core terms and processes used in the Databox ↔ GHL integration are defined here to help you understand data flows.
Application Programming Interface that allows Databox to read and write data via GHL endpoints.
A specific URL in the GHL API used to perform a defined action, such as retrieving a contact.
The method used to prove identity to GHL (OAuth 2.0 tokens or API keys) and grant access to endpoints.
A URL where Databox or GHL sends real-time events to trigger actions in your workflows.
Aggregate contact changes into a single dashboard view to monitor updates at a glance.
Trigger automated Databox workflows when GHL tasks are created or updated.
Use notes and tags to segment audiences and drive tailored dashboards.
Obtain OAuth tokens or API keys from GHL and register the Databox app in your account.
Map fields, select read-only endpoints, and set up triggers in Databox.
Run test syncs, verify data integrity, and enable automatic updates in your dashboards.
Databox uses OAuth 2.0 tokens or API keys to authenticate requests to the GHL API. Always follow least-privilege access and rotate tokens regularly. Use IP restrictions and per‑token scopes to minimize risk. In practice, you’ll configure Databox with a read-only scope for safe data access and monitor for unusual activity.
No custom code is required for standard data syncing. You can connect via the Databox UI using the built-in GHL connector and map fields. For advanced workflows, you may leverage automation within Databox or a middleware like Zapier, but no heavy coding is necessary.
For most contact tracking, endpoints like GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes provide essential data. Depending on your needs, you can also pull a full list with GET /contacts/ and retrieve business-linked contacts via GET /contacts/business/:businessId.
Yes. You can create and update tasks and notes using POST and PUT endpoints. Databox can trigger actions based on task status changes or note updates to keep dashboards current with real-time information.
Required fields for a new contact typically include an email address and a name. Optional fields like phone, company, and custom fields can be included as needed to enrich your contact record.
Store tokens securely, rotate them periodically, and monitor access. Use role-based access control and restricted scopes to limit exposure. If a token is compromised, revoke and regenerate immediately.
Endpoint documentation is available in the GHL API reference. In Databox, you’ll find guided setup screens and field mappings that describe which endpoints to use and how to configure authentication.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
