Authenticate your GHL account to authorize data access for the Contacts API with the read-only scope. Use your GHL credentials and follow the OAuth or API key flow as configured in your workspace.
To connect Fello to GHL, authorize Fello through the OAuth flow and grant the requested permissions (read-only access to Contacts).

Unified view of contact profiles with related tasks, notes, and appointments across your automations.
No-code automation lets you connect data flows in minutes, without writing code.
Secure read-only access protects data while enabling powerful workflows.
This section defines endpoints, triggers, actions, and data fields used to connect GHL’s Contacts API with Fello, helping you map data precisely.
API: A set of rules and protocols that enable software components to interact and exchange data.
Endpoints: Specific URLs used to access resources in an API.
Authentication: The process of verifying who you are and what you are allowed to do.
Scope: The permissions granted to an app to access resources.
Set up a trigger to push new or updated contact data to your CRM and marketing tools automatically.
Use attributes to auto-tag or group contacts for personalized messaging.
Automatically generate follow-up tasks in your project system when a contact hits a milestone or status.
Register OAuth credentials and authorize scopes in both systems.
Map data fields and set up triggers for data flows.
Validate the integration with test records and then deploy.
With the Contacts API integration to Fello, you can pull core contact details, related tasks, notes, and upcoming appointments. Endpoints like GET /contacts/:contactId and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks let you retrieve up-to-date information to inform automations and reporting. This setup uses a read-only scope (contacts.readonly). If you need write capabilities to create or update records, you’ll need higher permissions and an updated integration configuration in both GHL and Fello.
Yes—the current configuration is read-only, designed to safely fetch data without modifying it. If your workflow requires creating or updating contacts, tasks, or notes, you will need elevated permissions and to enable write endpoints in the API connection.
Authentication is performed through the OAuth flow or API key setup provided by GHL. You will authorize Fello to access the Contacts API within your workspace. During setup, ensure the requested scope is contacts.readonly (or higher if you enable writes), and securely store tokens for ongoing requests.
In this configuration, creating or updating contacts or tasks is not available because the scope is read-only. If you need write capabilities, adjust the integration to request write permissions (e.g., contacts.write) and update your OAuth/app credentials accordingly.
API endpoints are URL routes that let your apps request specific data or perform actions. Examples include GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch a contact and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to list related tasks. Use proper authentication, pass IDs as path parameters, and handle responses in your automation tool.
You don’t need to write code to use basic read-only endpoints with automation tools. Many platforms offer visual builders to connect these endpoints. If you want advanced logic or data transformations, basic scripting or a no-code integration platform can handle it with this API.
Yes, you should test the connection using test data or a sandbox environment before going live. In testing, verify field mappings, trigger events, and error handling to ensure a smooth rollout.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
