Access to the Contacts API requires a valid API key or OAuth token and the scope contacts.readonly. Store credentials securely and rotate them on a regular basis.
Dreamdata acts as the consuming app in the integration. Use your app credentials and safe storage to connect to the GHL API. Follow best practices for secure token handling.
Endpoints included: 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
When you need to display or sync a specific contact profile in Dreamdata, pull the data from GHL via the contacts read endpoint.
Use GET /contacts/:contactId to retrieve core fields and then pull related items like tasks and notes with the nested endpoints to build a complete view of the contact.
GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: id, firstName, lastName, email, phone, company
When a follow up is required, automatically create a task linked to the contact in GHL
Use POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to add a new task with title and due date
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Required: title, dueDate; optional: notes, assignedTo, priority
When you want to log context or updates for a contact, create a note in GHL from Dreamdata
Use POST /contacts/:contactId/notes to store notes
POST /contacts/:contactId/notes
Required: notes; optional: noteType, createdAt
Automate data flow with no coding by wiring Dreamdata and GHL via Zapier or similar automation platform
Rapid deployment with prebuilt templates that map contacts to tasks and notes
Unified view of customer activity combining Dreamdata analytics with CRM data
This glossary defines API endpoints, authentication scopes, and data fields used to connect Dreamdata with the Contacts API in GHL
A specific URL path exposed by the API to access a resource such as GET /contacts/:contactId
Methods used to securely access the API using tokens or keys such as OAuth2 and API keys
Maximum request rate allowed within a time window to protect the service
Permissions granted to an app for an API, for example contacts.readonly
Create a workflow that updates Dreamdata when a contact changes stage or status in GHL
Trigger new tasks in GHL based on Dreamdata analytics events
Sync notes from GHL into Dreamdata to enrich activity histories
Grant permissions for Dreamdata to access the GHL Contacts API
Choose endpoints and align data fields between systems
Run tests, verify data integrity, and monitor the integration
Dreamdata can access contact records including name email and phone and can pull related data such as tasks notes and appointments using the Contacts API. The integration uses the contacts.readonly scope to protect data and ensure secure read only access by default. If your workflow requires writing data you can request elevated permissions and enable write actions after approval and secure configuration.
No heavy coding is required. You can connect via Zapier or similar automation tools with built in templates and field mappings. For advanced scenarios you may customize webhooks or endpoints using standard REST calls.
The available endpoints include reading contacts and their tasks notes and appointments, as well as creating updating and deleting resources such as contacts and tasks. See the endpoint list for exact URLs such as GET /contacts/:contactId POST /contacts/ and others.
You need a GHL API key with the contacts.readonly scope and your Dreamdata app must be registered in the GHL developer portal. Ensure your app has permission to access the endpoints you need. Keep credentials secure and rotate regularly; monitor usage to stay within rate limits.
Authentication is typically done via OAuth 2.0 or API keys as configured by your GHL setup. Store tokens securely and refresh as needed; implement error handling for expired tokens.
Yes you can update contacts and create tasks and notes from Dreamdata by using the write endpoints such as POST and PUT methods. Make sure to have write permissions and test in a sandbox before live use.
Error logs appear in your automation tool dashboard or in the GHL developer portal if available. Enable webhook logging and review API responses to troubleshoot issues.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
