Obtain your API credentials, apply the scope contacts.readonly, and securely sign requests to access the GHL Contacts API from Element451.
Authorize Element451 to access the GHL Contacts API using OAuth 2.0 or API keys, ensuring tokens are scoped to contacts resources.
Available endpoints include: GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch a contact; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks for tasks; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId for a single task; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id; GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments; GET /contacts/ to list 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; POST /contacts/:contactId/tags.
Trigger: when a contact is updated in GHL, fetch changes and update the matching contact in Element451.
Actions: pull contact details via GET /contacts/:contactId and push updates to Element451; create a corresponding task if needed.
GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, email, name, status
Trigger: new or updated tasks and notes in GHL; create or update corresponding items in Element451.
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to create tasks; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes; sync to Element451 notes field.
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
Key fields: contactId, taskId, noteId
Trigger: tag changes in GHL update Element451; update business associations.
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/tags to add, PUT to update; GET /contacts/business/:businessId to pull business associations.
POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
Key fields: contactId, tag, businessId
Automate data flow without custom code.
Real-time synchronization reduces manual updates and errors.
Centralized contact management with tasks, notes, and business data in one place.
A quick glossary of API terms and the processes used to connect GHL with Element451.
Application Programming Interface: a set of rules that enables software components to communicate.
OAuth 2.0 is an authorization framework that allows apps to obtain limited access tokens to call APIs on behalf of a user.
A specific URL in an API that performs an action or returns data.
A callback URL used to receive real-time data updates from an API when events occur.
Trigger a new contact in GHL to auto create a matching contact in Element451 and keep both records aligned.
Automatically mirror task assignments from GHL to Element451 to keep teams aligned on next steps.
Push notes from GHL contacts to Element451 so team members see the latest context.
Create or obtain your client ID and secret in GHL, set the scope to contacts.readonly, and securely store keys.
Authenticate Element451 to GHL using OAuth 2.0 or API key; test connection with a sample contact.
Map GHL contact fields to Element451 fields (name, email, phone, tags, notes, tasks) and configure sync rules.
The connection uses OAuth 2.0 or API key based authentication with TLS transport encryption to protect data in transit and at rest. You control the scopes to limit access to the exact resources you need such as contacts.readonly. Regular token rotation and secure storage practices help minimize risk. Keep credentials out of client side code and use server side calls. Two factor protection and monitoring further improve security.
Endpoints cover common workflows for contacts, tasks, notes, appointments and business associations. You can fetch, create, update and delete contacts and related items. Review the endpoint list to pick the exact calls you need for your integration.
No code is not a barrier. Basic integrations can be built with no code or low code tools. For more complex mappings you can add lightweight scripts or use middleware like Zapier to orchestrate calls while keeping the core API integration intact.
Test the integration by authenticating, running a sample GET call such as a contact fetch, and confirming the data appears in Element451. Use sandbox or test records where available and validate error handling and retries.
Yes. You can automate creation and maintenance of tasks in Element451 when tasks are created or updated in GHL, ensuring teams stay aligned on next steps.
Notes are supported via the notes endpoints. You can pull GHL notes into Element451 or push Element451 notes back, maintaining context across platforms.
Latency is typically near real time, depending on network conditions and API plan. For sensitive workflows, using webhooks can provide instant notifications of changes.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
