Use API tokens (or OAuth) to securely access the Contacts API from Device Magic and protect your data.
Create and manage API credentials in Device Magic to authorize requests to the GHL Contacts API.
– 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 contact is created or updated in Device Magic, fetch details from Contacts API.
Actions: Read contact, retrieve related tasks, notes, and appointments; create or update a contact in GHL as needed.
Methods: GET on /contacts/:contactId, GET on /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET on /contacts/:contactId/notes, GET on /contacts/:contactId/appointments; POST/PUT as needed for syncing.
Key fields: contactId, businessId, taskId, noteId, appointmentId.
Trigger: Updates to tasks or notes in Device Magic should sync to GHL.
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes to reflect changes.
Methods: POST to create tasks, PUT to modify tasks, PUT to mark completed; GET on notes for retrieval.
Key fields: contactId, taskId, noteId.
Trigger: Apply tags from Device Magic to segment contacts in GHL.
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/tags to apply tags; optionally update tasks to reflect tag-driven workflows.
Methods: POST for tag application; PUT/GET as part of tag management as needed.
Key fields: contactId, tagId.
Streamlined data capture: pull in contact data automatically from scans and forms into GHL without writing code.
Real-time updates to contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments keep teams aligned across platforms.
Centralized workflows reduce manual data entry and accelerate follow-ups.
This section defines endpoints, triggers, actions, and data fields used when syncing between Device Magic and the GHL Contacts API.
A URL path and HTTP method used to access a resource in the GHL API.
The process of proving identity to access secure API resources.
A mechanism for real-time event notifications from an API.
A label assigned to a contact to enable segmentation and routing.
Scan forms with Device Magic and automatically create or update contacts in GHL to kick off downstream workflows.
Attach tasks to contacts when specific form fields indicate follow-ups, keeping activity aligned.
Apply tags from Device Magic responses to route leads to the right teams automatically.
Create an API key or OAuth credentials in Device Magic and set the scope to contacts.readonly for safe access.
Map Device Magic fields to GHL Contact fields and configure the endpoints you will call.
Create automations to sync data, update tasks, apply tags, and trigger follow-ups in real time.
No-code integration is possible by using Device Magic to call the GHL Contacts API directly with the provided endpoints. You can map form fields to contact fields and use prebuilt actions to create or update records. This approach lets you automate data capture without custom coding. The API keys or OAuth tokens handle authentication so data remains secure.
Essential endpoints typically include reading a contact (GET /contacts/:contactId), listing tasks or notes (GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes), and creating or updating records (POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId). For deeper workflows, you may also use tags (POST /contacts/:contactId/tags) and deleting records (DELETE /contacts/:contactId).
Security is achieved through API keys or OAuth tokens, scoped access (e.g., contacts.readonly), and encrypted transport (HTTPS). Device Magic should store credentials securely, and you should rotate keys periodically. Only the minimum necessary permissions should be granted to reduce risk.
Yes. You can set up webhooks or scheduled polling to trigger updates when data changes in Device Magic or GHL. Webhooks require support on the GHL side or intermediaries to push changes in real time, while polling can be used for near-real-time sync.
Authenticate Device Magic by generating API credentials in the app and granting scope for contacts access. Then use those credentials in the Device Magic workflow to authorize requests to the GHL Contacts API.
You can sync contacts, tasks, notes, appointments, and tags. Data fields include contact identifiers, task IDs, note IDs, and tag names, with options to update or create records as your workflow dictates.
Tags are applied via POST /contacts/:contactId/tags. You can script conditional logic in Device Magic to apply specific tags when certain form fields match criteria, enabling targeted routing and segmentation.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
