Start by creating an API key in GHL with the necessary scopes for reading and managing contacts, then configure Flipsnack to use that key for requests.
Flipsnack will request access to GHL data via a secure OAuth flow or an API key, with scoped permissions to your Contacts resources.
GET /contacts/:contactId; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id; GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments; GET /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 on contact creation or update in Flipsnack to pull the latest data from GHL using GET /contacts/:contactId.
Actions: read and update core contact fields such as name, email, phone, and tags; keep related tasks and notes in sync.
GET /contacts/:contactId
contactId, name, email, phone, tags
When a task is created in Flipsnack, create a corresponding GHL task using POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks.
Actions: create, update, and mark tasks complete; sync task titles, due dates, and status with GHL.
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
contactId, taskId, title, dueDate, status
When notes or appointments are added in Flipsnack, retrieve them from GHL using the notes and appointments endpoints.
Actions: sync notes and appointments back to Flipsnack, enabling reminders and follow-ups.
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes; GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments
contactId, noteId, appointmentId, content, date
Automate data flow between Flipsnack and GHL without writing a line of code, using REST endpoints and webhooks.
Achieve near real-time data synchronization for contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments to streamline workflows.
Reuse templates and build scalable automations that trigger actions across the two apps.
This glossary explains core terms and the data flow between GHL and Flipsnack when using the Contacts API.
An API (Application Programming Interface) is a set of rules that lets two software applications talk to each other and exchange data securely.
OAuth is a standard authorization protocol that lets Flipsnack access GHL resources without sharing user passwords, via scoped tokens.
An endpoint is a specific URL in an API that performs a defined function, such as retrieving a contact or creating a task.
A webhook is a callback mechanism that lets one app notify another app when a specific event happens, enabling real-time updates.
Attach data from Flipsnack assets (forms, lead magnets) to GHL contact records to improve segmentation and targeting.
Create and assign tasks in GHL when new Flipsnack signups occur, driving follow-ups automatically.
Attach notes from Flipsnack to contacts in GHL and trigger timely reminders based on note content.
In GHL, generate an API key with read/write access to contacts, then copy the key for Flipsnack.
Enter the API key into Flipsnack’s GHL connection settings and select the required scopes for your workflows.
Use a test contact to verify read and write access to endpoints like GET /contacts/:contactId and POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks.
The Contacts API integration lets Flipsnack read and manage contact data inside GHL without leaving your workflow. It uses REST endpoints to fetch contact details, tasks, notes, and more. By leveraging API keys and scoped access, teams can control what data is shared and updated between apps. No-code automation is possible thanks to predictable endpoints and webhook events that trigger workflows in Flipsnack when data changes in GHL.
You don’t need to write custom code for standard integrations. Use Flipsnack’s built-in GHL connector to configure API keys, scopes, and endpoints. For advanced flows, you can combine no-code automation with Zapier or similar tools to orchestrate multi-app workstreams.
End points like GET /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts/, and POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks are ideal for syncing core records, tasks, and notes. For comprehensive CRM workflows, also consider endpoints for notes, appointments, and tags to keep data cohesive across apps.
Authentication typically uses an API key with scoped permissions or an OAuth flow. Generate the key in GHL with the necessary scopes, then configure Flipsnack to use that key in the GHL connection settings. This keeps access secure and auditable.
Yes, you can delete contacts via API using DELETE /contacts/:contactId. Be mindful of cascading effects on related tasks, notes, and appointments.
To test the connection, start with a single contact: fetch its data (GET /contacts/:contactId), then try creating a related task (POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks) and verify the response. Use test data to avoid impacting live records.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
