Securely authenticate requests to the Contacts API using OAuth 2.0 or API keys. Start with obtaining client credentials, request the necessary scope (contacts.readonly), and store tokens securely before making API calls.
EasyMe authenticates with GHL using the app’s credentials and a signed token flow. Use the provided client secret in headers to authorize each request and respect rate limits.
Key endpoints include 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, and write/update/delete actions: GET /contacts/:contactId (read), 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 retrieved or updated in GHL, then create or update corresponding records in EasyMe.
Actions: create/update contact, create tasks, attach notes, sync appointments.
GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, email, name, phone, tags
Trigger: contact modified in GHL; sync updates to EasyMe
Actions: PUT /contacts/:contactId, post notes, log activities
PUT /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, firstName, lastName, email
Trigger: new task created in GHL; push to EasyMe
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, update task status
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: contactId, taskId, title, dueDate
Automate contact-driven workflows without writing code
Leverage endpoints to build powerful automations in minutes
Reusable templates and triggers for quick deployments
This glossary explains endpoints, triggers, actions, and payloads used in GHL–EasyMe integrations.
A specific URL path for an API operation to access or manipulate data.
An event in one system that begins an automation in another.
An operation performed in response to a trigger, such as create or update.
The data sent with an API request or response.
Use the GET /contacts/:contactId endpoint to pull data and automatically create onboarding tasks in EasyMe, guiding users through setup.
Sync tasks created in GHL to EasyMe for a unified timeline and reminders.
Pull notes and appointments into EasyMe so teams see complete history in one place.
Obtain API credentials for the GHL Contacts API and configure your EasyMe app with the client ID and secret.
Configure endpoints such as GET /contacts/:contactId and POST /contacts/ in EasyMe workflows and triggers.
Test triggers, validate data mapping, then deploy to production.
The GHL Contacts API supports OAuth 2.0 and API keys for authentication. Use OAuth to grant scoped access (for example, contacts.readonly) and rotate credentials regularly to keep access secure. Always follow the principle of least privilege when requesting scopes for your app. For no-code setups, you can use your app credentials in Zapier connections and rely on built-in retry logic and backoff. This minimizes manual maintenance while keeping data synchronized across systems.
For syncing contacts with EasyMe, the GET /contacts/:contactId endpoint is essential for retrieving data, while POST /contacts/ and PUT /contacts/:contactId are used to create or update records. Use GET /contacts/ to browse multiple records when needed, and rely on endpoints for notes, tasks, and appointments to enrich contact records. Map critical fields (contactId, email, name, phone, tags) and handle related resources (notes, tasks, appointments) to maintain a complete, consistent picture across both systems. Implement error handling and retries to cope with intermittent API limits.
Yes. Updates made in EasyMe can be propagated back to GHL by using PUT /contacts/:contactId and related endpoints for tasks, notes, and appointments. Ensure your field mappings are bidirectional and that you handle conflicts with a sensible merge strategy. Test two-way sync in a sandbox before going live.
GHL enforces rate limits on API calls. Plan for bursts and implement exponential backoff for retries. Monitor response headers for rate-limit status and adjust parallel requests accordingly. If you anticipate high volume, contact support to discuss higher quotas or batch operations where appropriate.
Handle errors by inspecting HTTP status codes and error messages returned by the API. Implement retries with backoff, log failures, and alert your team for critical problems. Use idempotent operations where possible (reuse of POST endpoints with idempotent keys) to avoid duplicate records.
You can build these integrations with no code using Zapier and EasyMe templates. While coding is not required, knowing how to map endpoints and actions helps you design robust automations. Use test runs and sandbox data to validate every trigger and action before deployment.
API documentation and examples are available in the official GHL developer portal. There you will find endpoint references, authentication guidance, and sample requests. For hands-on setups, explore community tutorials and the Quick Start guides provided in the docs.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
