To access the Contacts API, generate an API key in the GHL developer portal and apply the scope contacts.readonly (and more if needed). Include the key in the Authorization header of every request.
In Formcarry, create a new GHL connection using the API credentials. Set the authorization header and scope, ensuring Formcarry can read contact data and update records as configured.
GET /contacts/{contactId} — Retrieve a single contact GET /contacts/{contactId}/tasks — List tasks for a contact GET /contacts/{contactId}/tasks/{taskId} — Retrieve a specific task GET /contacts/{contactId}/notes — List notes for a contact GET /contacts/{contactId}/notes/{id} — Retrieve a specific note GET /contacts/{contactId}/appointments — List appointments GET /contacts/ — List all contacts GET /contacts/business/{businessId} — List contacts for a business contacts.write — Permission to update contacts POST /contacts/ — Create a new contact PUT /contacts/{contactId} — Update a contact DELETE /contacts/{contactId} — Delete a contact POST /contacts/{contactId}/tasks — Create a task for a contact PUT /contacts/{contactId}/tasks/{taskId} — Update a task PUT /contacts/{contactId}/tasks/{taskId}/completed — Mark a task completed DELETE /contacts/{contactId}/tasks/{taskId} — Delete a task POST /contacts/{contactId}/tags — Add tags to a contact
Trigger when a contact is created or updated in GHL.
Actions you can perform: upsert contact, attach notes, and create related tasks in Formcarry.
PUT /contacts/{contactId}

No coding required. Use a visual integration to connect the GHL Contacts API with Formcarry and automate data flows without writing code.
Quicken onboarding and ensure data consistency across apps with mapped fields and triggers.
Build flexible workflows that scale with your team’s needs and processes.
This glossary covers core elements like endpoints, triggers, actions, and fields used in the GHL API integration with Formcarry.
Application Programming Interface: a set of rules that lets apps talk to each other and exchange data.
A specific URL in an API that performs an action or returns data.
An event that starts an automation or workflow.
Proof of identity used to access API resources, typically via API keys or OAuth.
Trigger a new Formcarry form entry when a new contact is created in GHL, keeping data in sync from day one.
Push GHL tasks into Formcarry to drive approvals and team workflows without manual handoffs.
Attach GHL notes to Formcarry submissions to enrich context for forms and reporting.
Generate API credentials in GHL and enter them into Formcarry’s GHL connection settings.
Align GHL contact fields with Formcarry form fields (name, email, phone, tags, etc.).
Run a test to verify data flow, then enable the integration for live use.
No coding is required. The Formcarry to GHL integration uses standard REST endpoints and API keys; you can configure the connection in the UI and map fields without writing code. If you encounter data format issues, verify field types and ensure the correct scope is granted. If you want broader automation, you can extend the setup with Zapier or other no-code tools to chain actions across apps.
For a basic sync, you’ll typically need read access to contacts and endpoints to read and upsert contact data (GET /contacts/{contactId}, POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/{contactId}). Optional endpoints for notes, tasks, and tags can enrich the integration as needed. Start with reading a contact and updating essential fields, then layer in tasks and notes as your workflow grows.
Data is transmitted over HTTPS with API keys restricted by scopes. Store credentials securely in Formcarry and rotate keys periodically. If a request fails due to invalid data or rate limits, the system will surface an error and automatically retry according to the configured policy.
Yes. You can customize how fields map between GHL contacts and Formcarry forms. Use your integration settings to align names, emails, tags, and custom fields so data lands in the correct Formcarry fields.
The connector includes built-in retry logic and error notifications. If a request fails, you’ll see details in the error log and the system will retry after a backoff period. You can also manually re-trigger failed syncs from the dashboard.
API call limits are governed by GHL. Formcarry queues requests and applies retries or backoffs to stay within the allowed rate. If you anticipate heavy traffic, consider staggering syncs or applying filters to reduce unnecessary calls.
Yes. This integration can be used in conjunction with Zapier to orchestrate complex automations across apps. Use Zapier for additional triggers and actions beyond the Formcarry-GHL connection.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
