Access to the GHL Contacts API requires OAuth 2.0 tokens scoped to contacts.readonly. Use your GHL developer credentials to obtain an access token and refresh it as needed.
Dubsado can authenticate via OAuth 2.0 and, where enabled, API tokens. Store credentials securely and request the minimum scopes required for read‑only contact access (or more if you need write access).
GET /contacts/:contactId — Retrieve a specific contact by ID\nGET /contacts/:contactId/tasks — List tasks for a contact\nGET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Get a specific task\nGET /contacts/:contactId/notes — Retrieve notes for a contact\nGET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id — Get a single note\nGET /contacts/:contactId/appointments — Retrieve appointments for a contact\nGET /contacts/ — List all contacts\nGET /contacts/business/:businessId — Get business details for a contact\nPOST /contacts/ — Create a new contact\nPUT /contacts/:contactId — Update a contact\nDELETE /contacts/:contactId — Delete a contact\nPOST /contacts/:contactId/tasks — Create a task for a contact\nPUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Update a task\nPUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed — Mark a task as completed\nDELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Delete a task\nPOST /contacts/:contactId/tags — Add tags to a contact
Trigger: A new contact is created in GHL
Action: Create a corresponding Dubsado contact or update the existing record, then sync core fields such as name, email, and phone.
Use GET /contacts to fetch the new record in GHL and POST /contacts/ to create in Dubsado (or PUT /contacts/:contactId to update if existing).
Map GHL contactId to Dubsado external_id; fields include name, email, phone, and organization.
Trigger: A Dubsado contact is updated
Action: Update the corresponding GHL contact fields and keep data in sync across both platforms.
Put or Patch requests to /contacts/:contactId on the source side, with mirrored PUT/PATCH calls to the other system.
Dubsado contactId <-> GHL contact_id; map updated fields such as name, email, phone, and tags.
Trigger: A task is created or updated in GHL
Action: Create a corresponding Dubsado task and attach it to the related contact; propagate status and due date.
GHL taskId <-> Dubsado task_id; fields include title, due_date, priority, and related_contact_id
No-code setup lets you connect systems and automate data flow without writing any code.
Instant access to contact data in both platforms with automatic sync and field mapping.
Easily experiment with workflows using endpoints and webhooks to trigger actions in Dubsado.
This glossary defines API, endpoints, OAuth 2.0, webhooks, data mapping, and related terms to help you build integrations confidently.
Application Programming Interface — a contract of how two applications communicate, exchange data, and perform actions.
A specific URL in an API that performs a function or returns data, such as retrieving a contact or updating a task.
The authorization framework used to grant access tokens securely without sharing passwords.
A callback URL that allows the API to push events from GHL or Dubsado to your app when data changes.
Automatically create a Dubsado contact when a new GHL contact is added and pull in key fields to keep records in sync.
Trigger Dubsado tasks from GHL events to ensure timely follow-ups and consistent workflows.
Keep calendars aligned and push reminders to clients via Dubsado workflows based on GHL appointments.
Obtain OAuth tokens for both sides and configure scopes for the needed read or write access.
Select the endpoints you’ll use and map GHL fields to Dubsado fields to ensure accurate data placement.
Run end‑to‑end tests, verify data integrity, and enable automatic sync schedules.
You can connect without writing code using no‑code tools and configured endpoints. Start with read‑only access to verify data flows, then expand to write access if needed. For advanced mappings, light scripting can help but is not required for basic use.
You can sync core contact data (name, email, phone), as well as tasks, notes, and appointments. Mapping controls ensure data lands in the right Dubsado fields, and you can choose to make certain fields read‑only or writable.
Obtain a client ID and secret from each platform, configure redirect URLs, and exchange authorization codes for access tokens. Include the access token in the Authorization header and refresh with the refresh token when necessary.
Yes. You can revoke tokens from the provider’s dashboard. When tokens are revoked, re‑authentication is required to restore access and continue syncing.
API rate limits apply. To minimize issues, batch requests where supported, cache results when possible, and stagger frequent calls to avoid hitting limits.
Use the mapping interface to pair GHL fields (name, email, phone) with Dubsado fields. Keep data types aligned and review mappings after schema changes to prevent data drift.
Sync logs are available in the integration dashboard. Filter by date, endpoint, and status to diagnose issues, and enable alerts if supported by the connector.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
