Use your GHL account credentials and the required scope (contacts.readonly) to authorize requests to the Contacts API.
In Elfsight, set up an API credential (Client ID and Secret) and authorize with the Contacts API using the included scope. Store securely.
Endpoints cover reading, creating, updating, and deleting contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments. Examples: GET /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId, DELETE /contacts/:contactId, and related nested routes.
Trigger: Look up a contact by ID to pull core data and related tasks, notes, and appointments.
Actions: fetch /contacts/:contactId and its sub-resources (/tasks, /notes, /appointments).
GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
Key fields: contactId, name, email, phone
Trigger: When a contact’s information changes, sync updates to Elfsight.
Actions: PUT /contacts/:contactId to update core fields; optionally add tags via /contacts/:contactId/tags.
PUT /contacts/:contactId
Fields: contactId, name, email, phone, tags
Trigger: Create a task and record a note when a new activity is needed.
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks and POST /contacts/:contactId/notes
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, POST /contacts/:contactId/notes
Fields: contactId, taskId, noteId, content
Connect your data without writing code—use prebuilt actions, triggers, and field mappings.
Automate data flow between GHL and Elfsight to reduce manual work and errors.
Customize field mappings to fit your business processes and reporting needs.
Learn the core elements: endpoints, triggers, actions, and fields that power the integration between GHL Contacts API and Elfsight.
A record representing a person stored in GHL with associated data such as name, email, and phone.
Actions or items assigned to a contact to be completed, tracked, or updated.
Text entries linked to a contact that capture context, history, or comments.
API routes that perform read, create, update, or delete operations on data.
Automatically create a new contact in GHL when a lead is captured in Elfsight and trigger follow-up tasks.
When a task is completed in GHL, log a note in the contact’s activity history via Elfsight.
Batch import contacts from a spreadsheet and apply updates across fields in one pass.
Obtain your API key and ensure the scope includes contacts.readonly for read access.
Map endpoints and field mappings in Elfsight to match your data structure.
Run tests to verify data flows and deploy to a live workflow.
No heavy coding is required—the Elfsight connector provides ready-made actions and triggers. You can authenticate and start pulling data with minimal setup. If you need more control, you can customize requests using standard REST calls.
For a basic sync, focus on GET /contacts/:contactId and related resources like /contacts/:contactId/tasks and /contacts/:contactId/notes. Use POST, PUT, and DELETE sparingly for updates and cleanup.
Authentication typically uses API keys or OAuth supplied by GHL. Store credentials securely in Elfsight and use the scopes required (such as contacts.readonly) to limit access.
Yes. You can update with PUT /contacts/:contactId and remove with DELETE /contacts/:contactId. You can also manage tasks and notes through their respective endpoints.
Yes. You can create tasks via POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks and notes via POST /contacts/:contactId/notes to track activities directly from the integration.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan. Plan for bursts in traffic and implement retries with exponential backoff to avoid failures.
Use field mapping in Elfsight to align GHL fields with your destination fields. You can save mappings and reuse them across records to maintain consistency.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
