To access the GHL Contacts API, obtain OAuth 2.0 credentials and securely store your access token. In no-code setups via Zapier, connect your GHL account to the Zapier app using OAuth or an API key, then rotate credentials regularly for security.
Authenticate Flodesk by linking Flodesk to the Zapier App Connector and granting access to contact data. Use least-privilege scopes, test the connection, and enable monitoring before going live.
Common endpoints include: 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; and the contacts.write permission for creating or updating records.
Trigger: when a new contact is created or updated in GHL, automatically push the contact data to Flodesk and create an initial task sequence.
Actions: map contact fields (name, email, tags) to Flodesk, create or update tasks in Flodesk, and attach notes as activity history.
Method paths: use /contacts/:contactId and /contacts/:contactId/tasks to manage data flow between GHL and Flodesk.
Key fields: contactId, email, firstName, lastName, tags, notes
Trigger: updates to tasks in GHL trigger corresponding changes in Flodesk tasks or notes.
Actions: reflect task status, due dates, and notes in Flodesk; create or update related Flodesk tasks from GHL activities.
Method paths: /contacts/:contactId/tasks and /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId
Key fields: taskId, status, dueDate, completed
Trigger: tag changes on a GHL contact update to adjust Flodesk segments automatically.
Actions: add or remove Flodesk tags based on GHL lifecycle events; update contact segments and automations accordingly.
Method paths: /contacts/:contactId/tags
Key fields: contactId, tags
Zero-code data syncing between Flodesk and GHL keeps teams aligned and reduces manual data entry.
Automations run via Zapier App Connector, eliminating custom development and speeding up rollout.
Unified contact data across platforms supports accurate reporting and scalable lifecycle marketing.
This section covers core data elements (contacts, tasks, notes, appointments, tags) and processes (authentication, endpoints, webhooks, error handling) used in the integration.
An API is a set of rules that lets one software program talk to another, enabling data exchange between Flodesk and GHL.
A specific URL path in an API used to perform an action, such as retrieving a contact or updating a task.
A mechanism for receiving real-time notifications when an event occurs in another app.
The process of verifying identity and granting access to an API, typically via OAuth or API keys.
Capture new email leads in Flodesk and automatically create a contact in GHL using the Contacts API, then start a welcome task sequence.
Use GHL engagement events to adjust Flodesk segments and automate campaigns for higher conversion.
Assign dynamic tags in Flodesk based on GHL activity to drive personalized journeys.
Obtain your GHL OAuth credentials and securely store them; then connect Flodesk to the Zapier App Connector.
Map endpoints like /contacts, /contacts/:contactId, /contacts/:contactId/tasks in Zapier.
Run tests, verify data flow, monitor for errors and adjust mappings as needed.
No coding is required to connect Flodesk with the GHL Contacts API through Zapier App Connector. Use the graphical UI to map fields (email, name, tags) and set simple triggers to start automated flows. This makes setup quick and accessible for most users. The connector handles data transfer between Flodesk and GHL without writing code.
You can sync core contact records (name, email, phone), tags, notes, tasks, and appointments, plus lifecycle fields. Custom fields can be mapped as needed. The goal is to keep data consistent across both platforms for accurate marketing and operations.
Typical workflow endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId, and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks. These endpoints cover creating, updating, and reading contact data as well as task management to support automated sequences.
Security is handled via OAuth or API keys. Store tokens securely, use least-privilege scopes, rotate credentials regularly, and monitor for unusual activity. Enable logging and retry policies to recover from transient failures.
Yes. The Zapier App Connector simplifies the connection by providing triggers and actions across Flodesk and GHL without writing code. You can configure event-based flows, error handling, and data mappings visually.
Rely on Zapier’s built-in retry logic and error handling. If a field is missing or an endpoint returns an error, configure retries and fallback mappings. Regularly review task history and logs to pinpoint issues and adjust mappings as needed.
You can monitor the integration through Zapier task history, webhooks, and GHL logs. Additionally, set up alerting in your workflow to notify your team of failures or retries and use dashboards to track data sync status.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
