To access the Contacts API from Dux-Soup, use your GHL API key and grant the scope ‘contacts.readonly’ to enable secure, read-only access. For write actions, request broader scopes and follow the OAuth flow to protect user data.
Authorize Dux-Soup to access your GHL data by: 1) Generating a GHL API key, 2) Entering the key in Dux-Soup’s integration settings, 3) Selecting the appropriate scopes, 4) Saving and testing with a sample call.
– 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 updated or created in GHL to sync related tasks and notes in Dux-Soup in real time.
Actions include reading contact data, creating/updating tasks, attaching notes, and updating contact fields to reflect changes from Dux-Soup.
Example calls: GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch details; POST /contacts/ to create; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId to update.
Key fields: contactId, email, name, phone, businessId, taskId, notesId (optional), and dueDate (for tasks).
Trigger when new leads appear or existing records are updated to batch-create contacts and apply tags for routing.
Actions: batch create or update contacts, apply tags, associate business IDs, and spark initial tasks for rapid engagement.
Example calls: POST /contacts/ to create; POST /contacts/:contactId/tags to assign tags; PUT /contacts/:contactId to update core fields.
Key fields: name, email, phone, tags, businessId, notes.
Trigger when a task is due or a note is added to initiate follow-ups and keep sequences flowing.
Actions: create reminder tasks, update statuses, and send team notifications.
Example calls: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to create a reminder; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed to mark as done.
Key fields: contactId, taskId, dueDate, status, reminderMessage.
Fast setup with no coding required, using REST endpoints and pre-built actions.
Automated data sync across GHL and Dux-Soup keeps records up-to-date and reduces manual entry.
Customizable workflows and triggers let your team scale outreach without writing a line of code.
Below is a concise glossary of terms and processes used in this integration.
The RESTful interface that lets apps read and write data in your GHL account, including contacts, tasks, notes, appointments, and more.
A CRM record for a person, containing identifiers like name, email, phone, and linked activities.
A to-do item assigned to a contact, with status, due date, and completion state.
A free-text entry attached to a contact for context and collaboration.
Automatically enrich contact records in GHL when Dux-Soup identifies new leads.
Merge notes, calls, and tasks into a single timeline in GHL.
Prebuilt templates for common sales motions between Dux-Soup and GHL.
Generate a GHL API key and set scope to contacts.readonly (upgrade as needed).
Enter API key or OAuth details in Dux-Soup settings and authorize.
Run test calls to fetch a contact, create a task, and verify data mappings.
To connect, you need at least read permissions for the Contacts resource. Use your GHL API key and ensure the scope is set to contacts.readonly for initial setup. If you need to create or update records, request broader scopes and handle OAuth securely. Always test in a safe environment before going live.
Yes, you can write data if you grant the appropriate write scopes and use write-enabled endpoints. Plan data mapping to avoid duplicates and implement idempotent operations to prevent repeated actions.
Begin with a sandbox or limited dataset. Use GET calls to verify data first, then progressively enable POST/PUT operations. Monitor responses and implement robust error handling.
API keys can expire or be rotated. Regenerate keys from the GHL admin portal and update Dux-Soup. If using OAuth, implement a refresh flow and store tokens securely.
Zapier is not required. This guide demonstrates direct API calls between GHL and Dux-Soup for lower latency and greater control. You can still use Zapier for additional automation if desired.
Yes. Map custom fields by including GHL custom fields in your payloads and establishing field mappings in Dux-Soup settings. Keep mappings synced as field definitions evolve.
Logs appear in the Dux-Soup integration panel and can be exported. You can also review GHL API request/response histories in the GHL account. For deeper debugging, enable verbose logging and use test endpoints.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
