Authenticate requests using your GHL access token with the contacts.readonly scope. Include the token in the Authorization header as a Bearer token for each API call.
Ecologi accesses GHL Contacts data using the token provided by the GHL connection. Ensure the Ecologi app has the required scopes (contacts.readonly) and follows security best practices for token storage and renewal.
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 created or updated in GHL, create or update a task in Contacts API to drive Ecologi workflows.
Actions: create task via POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, update status via PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, or mark as completed.
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: contactId, taskId, status
Trigger: creation or update of notes in GHL triggers notes in Ecologi.
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/notes and PUT /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id to sync content.
POST /contacts/:contactId/notes
Key fields: contactId, noteId
Trigger: a new contact is created in GHL prompts creation of a corresponding Ecologi profile.
Actions: POST /contacts to create a contact in GHL and map to Ecologi fields; optionally create an Ecologi profile
POST /contacts
Key fields: contactId, ecologiProfileId

This glossary defines endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, and field mappings used to connect GHL Contacts API with Ecologi.
A URL path and HTTP method that performs a specific operation against the API.
Process of proving identity and permissions, typically via tokens and OAuth.
The data sent in a request or returned in a response.
Event-driven notifications that trigger actions in connected apps.
Automatically tag new contacts when created in GHL to segment audiences in Ecologi.
Sync task status updates from GHL to Ecologi so Ecologi reflects progress.
Push GHL notes into Ecologi to maintain activity history and context.
Grab your GHL access token and Ecologi API credentials from the app settings, then store them securely.
Map fields between GHL and Ecologi, select scopes (contacts.readonly), and define triggers and actions.
Enable the workflow, run test calls, and monitor with logs and alerts.
The connection enables Ecologi to read and pull contact data from GHL so you can automate engagement. Start by generating an access token in GHL and granting the Ecologi app the contacts.readonly scope. This allows Ecologi to fetch basic contact attributes, notes, tasks, and related data. Use the provided endpoints to verify data flows into Ecologi and adjust mappings as needed. Test connectivity with a simple GET call and watch for successful responses. If you encounter authentication errors, refresh tokens and review scopes to ensure proper access.
Required permissions include at minimum the contacts.readonly scope to read contact data. Depending on your workflow, you may need additional scopes to create or update tasks or notes. Always apply the principle of least privilege and rotate tokens regularly to maintain security.
Available endpoints include reading contacts, tasks, notes, appointments, and tags, as listed in the Endpoints section. The endpoints follow RESTful patterns and support common operations like GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE. Review the Endpoints list for exact paths and methods.
Test the integration using built-in test features or external tools like Postman or curl. Start with a simple GET to /contacts/:contactId to confirm data flow. Validate that Ecologi receives the data and that field mappings populate correctly. Troubleshoot authentication or permission errors by reviewing tokens and scopes.
Yes, you can map custom fields between GHL and Ecologi during setup by editing the field mappings. Custom fields can be included in the payload when creating or updating records. Begin with core fields such as name and email, then add custom fields as needed.
Rate limits apply per API key and plan. If you hit limits, stagger requests, batch operations where possible, and rely on webhooks for event-driven updates. Check your GHL plan details for exact quotas and adjust polling frequency accordingly.
Diagnostics are available in both Ecologi and GHL dashboards. Look at recent API calls, error responses (such as 401/403), and token expiry alerts. Enable logging and monitor webhook delivery statuses to quickly identify and fix issues.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
