Rapid setup without custom code using built‑in automations.
Real‑time data sync between GHL and Dealfront improves contact intelligence.
Scalable workflows that adapt as your data grows.
Definitions for terms used in this guide: endpoints, triggers, actions, and fields.
A person stored in the GHL Contacts API; a central unit for syncs.
A scheduled meeting linked to a contact; appears in notes and timeline.
A text entry attached to a contact that records context or history.
An action item or activity assigned to a contact; can be created or completed via API.
Automatically generate a follow‑up task when a new contact enters the system, ensuring timely outreach.
Populate the contact timeline with notes and appointments as they occur for richer context.
Keep Dealfront and GHL in sync so updates reflect on both sides.
Create and store API credentials on GHL and link them in Dealfront.
Map the endpoints you will use in your workflows, starting with contacts and notes.
Run tests, verify permissions, and monitor data flow.
The Contacts API provides access to contact, notes, tasks, and appointments. You can pull contact details, associated tasks, notes, and upcoming appointments to enrich Dealfront. This enables a complete contact history within Dealfront. The data model supports scalable synchronization across multiple records.
Yes. The goal is no-code or low-code automation via templates in Dealfront. You can set up triggers and actions without writing code. For more advanced workflows, you can still use API calls to customize behavior.
Data can be near real-time depending on configuration. Webhook-style updates or polling can keep Dealfront in sync with GHL data. Plan the cadence to balance freshness and rate limits.
Essential endpoints for syncing include GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch profiles, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes for notes, and POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to create tasks. Additional endpoints like appointments and tags can extend the workflow as needed.
Credentials are managed in GHL and linked to Dealfront. Use API keys or OAuth tokens, store securely, and rotate credentials regularly to maintain security.
Yes. Common fields like email, name, and status can be mapped. If a field isn’t available by default, create a custom field in Dealfront and populate it via API.
Error logs appear in Dealfront’s integration console and can be exported for debugging. Enable webhooks or set up alerts to be notified of failures promptly.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
