Authenticate with a GHL API key scoped to contacts.readonly (and any additional scopes you need). Store credentials securely in FeatPaper and rotate keys periodically. Each request to the Contacts API should include your API key in the authorization header.
FeatPaper authenticates to GHL using an API key (with defined scopes) and secure token handling. Configure FeatPaper to inject the API key into requests and to refresh credentials as needed for uninterrupted automation.

Trigger when a contact is created or updated in GHL; FeatPaper fetches the latest contact details using GET /contacts/:contactId.
Actions: create or update a FeatPaper contact, attach tasks, and log notes based on retrieved data.
GET /contacts/:contactId
contactId, name, email, phone, owner, tags
Trigger when a task or note is created/updated for a contact; FeatPaper pulls latest data via GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes.
Actions: create/update FeatPaper tasks and notes, and link them to the corresponding FeatPaper contact.
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
contactId, taskId, title, status, dueDate, notes
Trigger when a note is added or updated for a contact; FeatPaper fetches via GET /contacts/:contactId/notes.
Actions: create notes in FeatPaper, attach to the contact, and build activity history for audits.
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
contactId, noteId, content, createdAt
Fast, visual setup with drag-and-drop workflows—no custom code required.
Centralize contact data across FeatPaper and GHL for consistent automations.
Scale your workflows as data grows, with reliable data sync and built-in error handling.
This section defines core data elements and the processes used to connect FeatPaper with the GHL Contacts API, including triggers, actions, and data mapping.
A specific URL path and HTTP method used to perform an operation against a service (e.g., GET /contacts/:contactId).
The method by which FeatPaper proves its identity to GHL (e.g., API key with scopes) before performing requests.
An operation FeatPaper performs in response to a trigger (e.g., create or update a contact or task).
A callback mechanism where one system sends real-time data to another via HTTP POST, enabling event-driven automation.
Capture new leads in FeatPaper and push to the GHL Contacts API to create a master contact with tasks and notes for rapid onboarding.
Automatically generate FeatPaper tasks when a contact has due items in GHL, keeping teams aligned without manual work.
Tag and segment contacts based on notes content to tailor outbound campaigns and support workflows.
Obtain a GHL API key with the proper scope (contacts.readonly) and securely store it in FeatPaper’s credentials vault.
Enter the API key, set endpoint mappings, and align GHL contact fields to FeatPaper fields for accurate data sync.
Run a test flow, review logs, and enable live automations once results are green.
The FeatPaper to GHL connection is built as a no-code integration that reads contact data from the GHL Contacts API and can write back updates where permitted. This enables you to automate common workflows without writing code. You’ll configure triggers (events in GHL) and actions (updates in FeatPaper) to keep both systems in sync. With this setup, you can build robust automations across contacts, tasks, and notes using FeatPaper’s visual tools and the GHL endpoints provided.
Endpoints used span core contact operations, including GET /contacts/:contactId for retrieval, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes for related data, and POST /contacts/ to create new records. For updates and deletions, you’ll use PUT /contacts/:contactId and DELETE /contacts/:contactId. Tasks and notes have their own endpoints (e.g., POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes) to support comprehensive data synchronization. Not every endpoint will be used in every page, but these are the key calls you’ll encounter when wiring FeatPaper to the GHL Contacts API.
Authentication is handled with a GHL API key that includes appropriate scopes (such as contacts.readonly). FeatPaper stores this credential securely and injects it into each request in the Authorization header. Rotate keys periodically and monitor usage from FeatPaper’s credential management area. If your organization supports OAuth-style flows, follow your provider’s guidance for token refresh and revocation to maintain uninterrupted access.
Yes. Reading contact data is governed by the configured scopes, and writing capabilities are enabled where allowed by those scopes. You can create or update contacts, tasks, and notes from FeatPaper back to GHL, enabling end-to-end automation across both systems. Always validate permissions for the specific endpoints you intend to use and implement error handling in your FeatPaper flows to avoid data inconsistencies.
Errors are surfaced in FeatPaper’s diagnostics and logs. Common issues include invalid credentials, insufficient scopes, or missing required fields. Each error will provide an error code and message to help you remediate. FeatPaper supports retries with backoff for transient network issues and will alert you if a persistent problem requires attention.
Yes. A no-code option is available using FeatPaper’s visual workflow builder. You can configure triggers, actions, and field mappings without writing code. This makes it easy to set up data synchronization between FeatPaper and the GHL Contacts API, create tasks and notes automatically, and monitor outcomes in a single dashboard.
Logs and diagnostics are accessible from FeatPaper’s dashboard under the integration section. You can view request/response details, track successful runs, failures, and retries, and export logs for auditing or troubleshooting.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
