Access to the Contacts API requires an OAuth token scoped to contacts.readonly. Create credentials in the GHL developer console and grant the required permissions.
Drip authenticates through the shared OAuth flow with your GHL account. Ensure the Drip app is registered and authorized to access the 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; 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: new or updated contact in Drip triggers a pull of that contact from the Contacts API
Actions: GET /contacts/:contactId to pull data, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments to populate Drip
GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, firstName, lastName, email, phone, tags
Trigger: daily or on-demand bulk sync from Drip to GHL
Actions: GET /contacts/, GET /contacts/business/:businessId, POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId
GET /contacts/
Key fields: contactId, name, email, phone, businessId
Trigger: changes to chosen contact fields trigger updates
Actions: PUT /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed
PUT /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, updatedFields
Drag-and-drop workflow setup without coding
Automatic data sync between Drip and the Contacts API with scheduling
Secure, token-based authentication and built-in error handling
This section defines endpoints, authentication, mappings, triggers, actions, and data flow steps involved in the Drip to Contacts API integration
GHLs Developer API that lets apps read and write contacts tasks notes and more
A person in your CRM with fields such as name email phone and associated records
A specific API URL path that performs an operation
OAuth-based access granting scoped tokens to call API endpoints
Pull enriched data into Drip to enhance contact profiles
Log key Drip activities as notes in GHL for context
Tag contacts based on actions to improve segmentation in GHL
Register your app, obtain client credentials, and set scopes such as contacts.readonly
Create mappings between Drip fields and Contacts API fields for accurate sync
Run tests verify data integrity monitor errors and enable scheduled sync
The Drip to GHL Contacts API integration lets you sync contact data with GHLs Contacts API endpoints. It supports pulling and pushing data for contacts tasks notes and appointments. Two-way synchronization helps keep records current. You can build no-code flows or use automation tools to map fields and trigger actions.
For everyday syncing, pull contact data with GET endpoints and push updates with POST/PUT. Map fields to ensure data consistency and schedule regular runs. Use logs to monitor outcomes and adjust mappings as needed.
You can typically set this up without coding using a no-code automation builder. Some scenarios may require simple scripting or custom mappings, but most essentials are achievable with built-in actions.
Authenticate via OAuth; request a token with the required scope (eg, contacts.readonly). Store tokens securely and refresh as needed. Each app install will show its own credentials.
Test in a sandbox or staging environment first. Validate data mapping, run sample requests, check responses, and confirm that updates flow correctly in both directions.
If you hit rate limits, throttle requests, batch operations where possible, and implement exponential backoff. Consider paging for large datasets.
API endpoint details are documented in the GHL developer portal. Use the endpoint list and examples to build your flows and test calls.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
