To access the GHL API from FormAfzar, start with OAuth 2.0. Create an app in your GHL developer console to obtain client credentials, and grant the necessary scopes (e.g., contacts.readonly for reading, and additional write scopes as needed) to perform updates to contacts, tasks, and notes.
FormAfzar authenticates to GHL via OAuth 2.0 and API keys where supported. Ensure the app’s redirect URI is registered and that you grant the app the required scopes for reading and updating contacts, tasks, and notes. Store tokens securely and refresh as needed.
Key endpoints used in the FormAfzar + Contacts API integration: 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: a new or updated contact in FormAfzar prompts a lookup or create in the Contacts API to ensure the GHL record stays current.
Actions: create or update contact in GHL, synchronize essential fields (name, email, phone), and fetch related tasks for a complete profile.
Method paths: GET /contacts/:contactId to read, PUT /contacts/:contactId to update.
Key fields: contactId, email, name
Trigger: a task is created or updated in FormAfzar, then a corresponding task is created or updated in the GHL system.
Actions: sync task title, status, due date, and attach to the related contact record.
Method paths: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId
Key fields: contactId, taskId, status, title
Trigger: notes created in FormAfzar are pushed to the GHL contact record for full context.
Method path: POST /contacts/:contactId/notes
Key fields: contactId, noteId, content
Faster data capture and reduced manual data entry across contacts, tasks, and notes.
A unified view of customer interactions enabling better lifecycle management and reporting.
Automated workflows and trigger-based actions without writing code.
This section covers endpoints, triggers, field mappings, and error handling to help you design reliable integrations.
Application Programming Interface that lets FormAfzar interact with the GHL Contacts API.
A specific URL path used to access a resource in the GHL API.
Process of proving identity and granting permission to access resources.
A callback URL that GHL can notify when events occur.
Automatically create or update a contact in GHL when a submission arrives in FormAfzar, ensuring the contact record is always up-to-date.
Generate or update tasks in GHL based on responses in FormAfzar, keeping teams aligned on next steps.
Append contextual notes to contacts in GHL from FormAfzar activity summaries to improve history tracking.
Register your FormAfzar app in GHL and complete the OAuth flow to obtain tokens and scopes.
Map common fields between FormAfzar and GHL Contacts (name, email, phone, etc.) and configure triggers for sync.
Run end-to-end tests, review logs, and deploy to production with monitoring and alerting.
With the Contacts API, you can read core contact data, their tasks, notes, and related activities. This enables a unified view of a contact across FormAfzar and GHL. You can also use endpoints to fetch recent activities and appointment data for deeper insight. Note that access permissions depend on the scopes granted during authentication (e.g., contacts.readonly for reading data, with additional write scopes for updates).
No-code integration is possible when your workflow platform supports OAuth 2.0 and REST calls. You can configure FormAfzar to call the GHL API using the provided endpoints and maps. For write operations, ensure the appropriate write scopes are granted. If you need full customization, you can implement small handlers or automations within FormAfzar to manage field mappings and error retries.
For syncing contacts, start with GET /contacts/:contactId to retrieve a profile, and PUT /contacts/:contactId to update. If you create new contacts, use POST /contacts/. For related data, consider GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks and POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to keep tasks linked to the correct contact.
Authentication is handled via OAuth 2.0. You’ll obtain access and refresh tokens and store them securely. Implement token refresh logic to prevent interruptions. Regularly rotate client credentials and monitor token expiry in your integration.
Yes. FormAfzar can perform write operations on the Contacts API if your OAuth scopes include the necessary write permissions (e.g., contacts.write). Ensure you validate inputs and handle API responses safely to avoid data inconsistencies.
If a sync fails, inspect the error returned by the GHL API, review the mapped fields, and retry. Implement retry policies and logging to catch transient issues. alerting can be set up to notify your team when persistent failures occur.
Logs and error messages are typically available in your integration platform’s dashboard or in your app’s monitoring tools. You can also enable webhooks for real-time error notifications and track API response codes for troubleshooting.
