Use the provided OAuth 2.0 flow or API keys from GHL to securely authenticate with the Contacts API. Store credentials safely in EventTemple and rotate tokens regularly.
In EventTemple, enter your GHL credentials in Security settings, grant the least-privilege access required, and run a test connection to verify success.

Automate cross-app workflows quickly without writing code
Maintain a single source of truth by syncing contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments
Scale your automations with straightforward triggers and actions
Key elements include endpoints, triggers, actions, authentication, and data mapping that power the integration.
A specific URL path and HTTP method used to perform an action in an API.
The process of verifying identity to access an API (e.g., API keys, OAuth tokens).
A callback URL that the API calls when an event occurs.
Create a resource if it does not exist, otherwise update it.
Automatically create a new Contact in the Contacts API when a user signs up in EventTemple, then assign onboarding tasks and send welcome notes.
Fetch new leads from EventTemple, score them in the Contacts API, and route them to appropriate campaigns or sales reps.
Automatically create follow-up tasks when notes or appointments indicate pending actions.
Obtain your API key or OAuth credentials from GHL and securely store them in EventTemple.
Map fields between EventTemple and the Contacts API and configure the endpoints you will use for sync.
Run tests, verify data flow, monitor logs, and deploy the integration once everything passes.
The integration typically requires an API key or OAuth token scope that includes access to contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments. Start with the broadest permitted scope and tighten permissions as you confirm the data flows you need. Always follow principle of least privilege. When in doubt, contact support to confirm required scopes for your setup. Two-factor authentication and token rotation are recommended to maintain security while keeping automation uninterrupted.
Yes. The Contacts API endpoints you enable can be connected to other apps that support the same data structures (contacts, tasks, notes, appointments). You can reuse the same authentication method across platforms and extend automations to other tools as needed. Plan your data mapping so you can propagate updates consistently across systems. If you’re expanding beyond EventTemple, ensure any new app has compatible field mappings and permissions.
Authentication failures are commonly caused by expired tokens, revoked credentials, or incorrect client IDs. Recheck your OAuth flow configuration, refresh tokens if supported, and verify that the credentials stored in EventTemple match what is configured in GHL. Test with a simple read operation to confirm connectivity before scaling up automation. Review logs for error codes and retry policies; enable alerting for repeated failures.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan and endpoint usage. Plan your synchronization frequency and batch updates accordingly to avoid throttling. If you anticipate high-volume activity, implement exponential backoff and queueing for retries. Monitor usage dashboards to stay within limits.
The integration supports common endpoints for reading and writing contacts, tasks, notes, appointments, and tags. Not all endpoints may be required for every page; enable only the endpoints you need and map fields accordingly. If a required endpoint is missing in your flow, you can extend mappings or request support for additional endpoints.
Data mapping is defined in EventTemple’s connector settings. Map contact fields such as name, email, and phone to the corresponding fields in the Contacts API, and align task/note/appointment fields to their counterparts. Use upsert operations to keep records synchronized and handle conflicts via timestamps or IDs to maintain data integrity.
Logs and errors can be viewed in EventTemple’s integration dashboard under the specific Contacts API connector. You’ll find real-time status, recent API calls, and error messages. Use the debug mode for deeper insights and export logs for audit purposes.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
