Authenticate requests to the Contacts API using your GHL API credentials. Choose OAuth tokens or an API key provided by GHL to ensure every call is authorized.
In Flock, securely store and present your GHL credentials when calling the Contacts API. Use a secret store or vault and rotate keys regularly.

Fast setup with no code required—connectors and templates handle the basics.
Low maintenance with centralized updates and auto-synced data.
Automation and triggers to streamline cross-app workflows.
A quick glossary of data elements and common processes when integrating Flock with the Contacts API.
The GHL API is the official interface that lets you programmatically access contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments within GHL.
An endpoint is a specific API URL you call to perform actions against GHL resources.
OAuth tokens or API keys are used to authenticate requests to the GHL API.
A webhook is a URL that GHL can post events to, enabling real-time notifications for your app.
Automatically create a new contact in Contacts API when a new user signs up in Flock, capturing core fields.
Trigger related tasks in Contacts API from Flock actions, enabling seamless task management.
Attach notes and tags to contacts automatically based on Flock activity for richer context.
Obtain your GHL API key and securely store Flock app credentials in a vault.
Map the endpoints listed earlier to your workflow and ensure proper authentication and rate limits.
Run tests with sample data to verify triggers, data mapping, and error handling.
You can automate core CRM actions like creating and updating contacts, syncing tasks, notes, and appointments between Flock and the Contacts API. Real-time triggers help keep both apps in sync. Start with contact creation and expand to tasks and notes as your workflow matures.
No heavy coding is required thanks to pre-built templates and connectors. If you do code, you can leverage webhooks or small scripts to customize mappings and conditions.
Security is enforced via OAuth tokens or API keys. Store credentials securely, use HTTPS, and restrict scopes. Rotate credentials regularly and monitor for anomalous activity.
Essential initial endpoints include POST /contacts/ to create a contact, GET /contacts/:contactId to read, and PUT /contacts/:contactId to update. As you grow, add tasks and notes endpoints to broaden automation.
Yes. Notes and tags can be synchronized automatically through the notes and tags endpoints. Configure triggers in Flock to push notes and tags to Contacts API when events occur.
Test with sandbox data and example payloads. Review logs for errors, verify mappings, and iterate on field alignment and error handling until flows run smoothly.
API docs are available in your GHL developer portal under the Contacts API reference. If you need help, reach out to support for guidance.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
