Authenticate requests to the GHL Contacts API using the provided OAuth flow or API key, with the Contacts readonly scope (contacts.readonly) to safely read contact data. Ensure tokens are stored securely and refreshed before expiry.
Authenticate Flutterwave via securely stored API credentials or OAuth tokens when calling GHL endpoints. Use least-privilege access and rotate credentials regularly to maintain security.
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 contacts.write 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: a contact is created or updated in the GHL Contacts API, prompting an immediate sync to Flutterwave.
Actions: create or update a contact in Flutterwave; optionally propagate related notes or tasks to keep records aligned.
Method path: fetch contact details via GET /contacts/:contactId and apply changes in Flutterwave using POST /contacts/ or PUT /contacts/:contactId.
Key fields: name, email, phone, contactId, FlutterwaveRecordId
Trigger: daily or hourly batch runs detect updated records in GHL and push them to Flutterwave.
Actions: upsert multiple contacts in Flutterwave, sync notes/tasks in bulk, and reconcile conflicts.
Method path: use GET /contacts/ to fetch lists, then POST /contacts/ or PUT /contacts/:contactId for upserts.
Fields: id, lastModified, name, email, tags, FlutterwaveRecordId
Trigger: a webhook is emitted by GHL on contact changes.
Actions: create/update in Flutterwave based on webhook payload; propagate related tasks/notes as needed.
Method path: receive GHL webhooks and call Flutterwave endpoints (e.g., POST /contacts/ or PUT /contacts/:contactId).
Fields: webhookPayload includes contact data; map to Flutterwave fields (name, email, phone, etc.).
Build powerful integrations with drag-and-drop automation, no custom code required.
Keep customer data synchronized across platforms for consistent CRM workflows.
Accelerate onboarding and automate follow-ups without writing software.
Familiarize yourself with common terms and processes you’ll encounter when integrating GHL Contacts API with Flutterwave via Zapier: authentication, endpoints, triggers, actions, and data mapping.
Application Programming Interface; a set of rules that enables software components to communicate and share data.
A specific URL and method combination in an API that performs a defined operation.
A mechanism for receiving real-time notifications when events occur in an external service.
A standard authorization framework for obtaining access tokens to call APIs securely.
Attach contact notes from GHL to Flutterwave CRM events to tailor communications and follow-ups.
Automatically generate Flutterwave tasks when GHL triggers milestones, ensuring timely actions.
Run periodic batch syncs to reconcile records during cleanups and quarterly reviews.
Register your app in both GHL and Flutterwave, obtain credentials, and store tokens securely.
Identify required fields and map GHL data to Flutterwave endpoints for your initial use case.
Run tests, verify data integrity, set up alerts, and refine mappings based on feedback.
No-code basics are supported via the Zapier App Connector, allowing you to configure triggers, actions, and field mappings with a few clicks. For more complex scenarios, lightweight scripting or conditional logic can be added if supported by the platform. Start with a simple sync and scale up as needed. In most cases, you can achieve the core workflow without writing code; use the built-in tools to map data and automate between GHL Contacts and Flutterwave.
For initial setup, essential endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch individual records, GET /contacts/ to list contacts, and POST /contacts/ to create new records in Flutterwave. You’ll also want PUT /contacts/:contactId and DELETE /contacts/:contactId for updates and cleanup. Mapping of notes, tasks, and tags can be added as you expand workflows. Use these as the foundation to establish a reliable bi-directional sync before broadening coverage.
Security starts with proper authentication: store tokens securely, use HTTPS, and follow least-privilege principles. Rotate credentials regularly and implement token expiration handling. When using webhooks, validate signatures to ensure messages originate from trusted sources. Whenever possible, leverage the Zapier App Connector’s built-in authentication methods to reduce exposure and simplify credential management.
Yes. You can map standard and custom fields between GHL Contacts and Flutterwave, and the connector can handle field-to-field mapping within the setup UI. For more complex field types, consider staged migrations and validation rules to ensure data integrity across both systems.
API rate limits depend on the providers and plan levels. Plan the integration with idle time and backoff strategies to avoid hitting limits. Use batching where possible and stagger large sync operations to maintain reliability.
To test webhooks, configure a sandbox or test environment, trigger events in GHL, and verify that Flutterwave receives and processes the payload correctly. Check response statuses and set up alerting for failed deliveries to iterate quickly.
GHL API documentation for the Contacts API can be found in the developer portal of your GHL instance. Look for sections on authentication, endpoints like /contacts, and data mapping guidance. If you’re using the Zapier App Connector, consult the app’s help articles for field mappings and example workflows.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
