Authenticate requests to the GHL Contacts API using API keys or OAuth, depending on your setup, with appropriate scopes for reading and writing contact data.
Authenticate APPNAME with GHL using standard OAuth 2.0 or API keys as configured by APPNAME, ensuring secure credential storage.

Trigger: When a contact is updated in GHL, APPNAME can sync changes in real time.
Actions: Create or update contact records, sync notes and tasks, attach tags.
Method Path: GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, email, firstName, lastName
Trigger: A new or updated task for a contact.
Actions: Create, update, or close tasks; reflect status in APPNAME.
Method Path: GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: contactId, taskId, status
Trigger: A note is added or updated for a contact.
Actions: Sync notes to APPNAME dashboards and attach to contact records.
Method Path: GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
Key fields: contactId, noteId, content
Fully visual automation between GHL and APPNAME without writing code.
Faster time-to-value with ready-to-use triggers, actions, and data mapping.
Scalable, maintainable integrations that evolve with your business.
Below are essential terms and processes used in the GHL Contacts API integration with APPNAME.
A person with identifying details stored in GHL, including name, email, and phone.
A URL and HTTP method that exposes a specific capability of the API.
An event in GHL or APPNAME that starts an automation.
An operation performed by APPNAME in response to a trigger, such as creating a contact.
Automatically sync contact updates from GHL to APPNAME to keep records current.
Trigger APPNAME workflows when contact tasks are created or updated.
Link contact notes to customer insights and dashboards in APPNAME.
Obtain your API key, set scopes to contacts.readonly, and authorize APPNAME.
Map contact fields (name, email, phone) and related notes/tasks to APPNAME fields.
Run tests, validate data flow, and push to production.
GHL uses API keys or OAuth depending on your setup. Ensure scopes include contacts.readonly for reading data and contacts.write for creating or updating data. Follow best practices for securely storing credentials.
The Contacts endpoints cover retrieving contacts, their tasks, notes, appointments, and the ability to create or modify records. See the Endpoints section for a complete list.
Use field mapping in APPNAME to align GHL contact fields with APPNAME fields. Common mappings include firstName, lastName, email, phone, and notes. Validate with test data.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan and API usage. Plan for bursts and implement retries with exponential backoff to maintain reliability.
Yes. You can synchronize contacts, tasks, and notes. Create triggers for changes and actions to propagate updates to APPNAME.
If data changes mid-workflow, the integration should re-sync referenced records and reconcile differences during the next sync cycle.
Debugging tips: enable verbose logging, test with sandbox data, and use the endpoint list as a reference to verify payloads.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
