Begin by obtaining a secure OAuth token for the Contacts API. Use scope: contacts.readonly to limit access to retrieve data only.
Configure your EdApp app to store and refresh the OAuth token securely, and set up permissions so EdApp can access contact data.
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, 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, and POST /contacts/:contactId/tags.
Trigger: When a new contact is created in EdApp, fetch the full profile from the Contacts API (GET /contacts/:contactId) and push updates to EdApp fields.
Actions: GET contact data, map fields, update EdApp contact record, and store timestamps.
Method path: GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, email, name, phone
Trigger: Updates in GHL Contacts (PUT /contacts/:contactId) propagate to EdApp
Actions: POST /contacts/ or PUT /contacts/:contactId to EdApp, sync fields, trigger tasks.
Method path: PUT /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, lastModified, status
Trigger: When a contact note or task is updated in EdApp, reflect in GHL via the Contacts API endpoints.
Actions: GET /contacts/:contactId/notes and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to pull data, map to EdApp notes/tasks.
Method paths: GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: contactId, taskId, noteId, content
Fast deployment without code, using pre-built endpoints and triggers.
Consistent data across apps with automated sync reduces manual updates.
Scalability for growing contact data and tasks without extra development.
This glossary covers core concepts, such as API endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, and data mapping used in the EdApp and Contacts API integration.
A specific URL path used to perform an action in the GHL Contacts API (for example, GET /contacts/:contactId).
The process by which EdApp proves it has permission to access GHL data, typically via OAuth tokens.
A callback URL that GHL calls when an event occurs to notify EdApp.
An event in one system that starts an automation in the other, such as a new contact creation.
Capture new or updated GHL contacts in EdApp as new records with synced fields.
Link tasks from GHL to EdApp tasks to track progress in both systems.
Mirror notes from Contacts to EdApp to provide context within each contact.
Obtain OAuth tokens for both GHL and EdApp and grant the necessary scopes.
Register and test endpoints such as GET /contacts/:contactId and POST /contacts/.
Run validation tests and set up monitoring for data sync.
You can connect EdApp to the Contacts API with no code using automation tools and pre-built actions. Start by authenticating both systems and mapping key fields. Then set up triggers to keep data in sync.
The Contacts API lets you retrieve contact details, tasks, notes, and appointments. You can create, update, and delete contacts, and manage related data as needed.
Authentication typically uses OAuth tokens. Store tokens securely in your EdApp environment and refresh them before expiry.
Yes. Use triggers to initiate actions in EdApp when GHL events occur, such as contact updates.
Webhooks are supported and can notify EdApp of changes in real time, depending on your plan.
Commonly used endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, POST /contacts/, and PUT /contacts/:contactId.
View logs in your Zapier/Automation tool dashboard or the EdApp integration panel to diagnose issues.
