Set up credentials and authorize Fortnox to access GHL data using API keys and secure tokens.
Fortnox requires client credentials and proper scopes to allow GHL to read and write contact data. Use your Fortnox developer portal to generate keys and configure redirect URIs.
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 is created in GHL
Actions: Upsert Fortnox contact using PUT /contacts/:contactId (create if missing) or POST /contacts/ for new records; map fields such as FirstName, LastName, Email, Phone
PUT /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: GHL_CONTACT_ID, FORTNOX_CONTACT_ID, Email
Trigger: Fortnox note updated for a contact
Actions: Create or update GHL notes via POST /contacts/:contactId/notes or PUT /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id; map note content, author, and updated timestamp
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
Key fields: contactId, notes_id, updatedAt
Trigger: A new or updated task in GHL
Actions: Upsert Fortnox task via POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks or PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; map dueDate, status, description
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: GHL_TASK_ID, FORTNOX_TASK_ID, dueDate, status
Fast setup without coding; use built-in triggers and actions to automate data sync
Real-time or near-real-time data synchronization for contacts, notes, and tasks
Flexible mapping and configurable triggers to fit your business processes
This section explains key elements and processes involved in the integration, including the GHL Contacts API, Fortnox API, authentication, data mapping, and endpoint usage to drive automations.
GHL is the automation and integration platform that connects Fortnox to your workflow, enabling triggers, actions, and data synchronization without heavy coding.
An API endpoint is a specific URL on Fortnox that you call to perform actions like retrieving a contact, listing notes, or updating a record.
Authentication verifies identities and authorizes access to Fortnox and GHL resources.
Data mapping defines how fields in GHL and Fortnox correspond to each other (for example, mapping GHL contact fields to Fortnox contact fields).
When a new contact is added in GHL, automatically create the corresponding Fortnox contact and assign a starter task.
Keep notes and tasks aligned by syncing Fortnox notes to GHL and ensuring updates flow where supported.
Attach Fortnox documents to GHL contact records and surface items in notes for quick access.
Register and authorize credentials on both platforms to establish a secure connection.
Create a field mapping to align GHL contact fields to Fortnox fields.
Run tests, verify data integrity, and deploy automations to production.
Most setups can be accomplished with no-code automations using built-in triggers and actions. The UI guides you through authentication, mapping, and endpoint testing. For complex data relationships, a developer can add custom mappings or additional endpoints as needed. If you do need custom code, you can extend the mappings and add new endpoints while leveraging the no-code framework for quick wins.
Fortnox endpoints listed earlier expose core concepts like contacts, notes, and tasks. You can start with GET /contacts/:contactId to pull data, then use POST /contacts/ or PUT /contacts/:contactId to create or update records in Fortnox. This keeps your GHL workflows aligned with Fortnox records.
Data sync can be near real-time when webhooks or scheduled polling are configured. The actual latency depends on your plan and how often your automations run, but you can typically expect timely updates for most business processes.
You can sync core contact data (names, emails, phones), notes, and tasks. Additional fields can be mapped as needed, and you can expand to business identifiers or appointments as your integration grows.
Authentication uses API keys and tokens managed in the Fortnox and GHL dashboards. Keep credentials secure, rotate keys periodically, and scope access to only what is required for the integration.
Yes. Field mappings can be customized in the integration setup to align GHL fields with Fortnox fields, including conditional mappings and default values to suit your workflow.
Yes. A sandbox or test environment is available in many setups. Use it to validate data flows and avoid impacting live records before going to production.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
