To start, generate your API credentials for the GHL Contacts API from your developer console and authorize Freedcamp to read your contact data.
Complete the OAuth flow to allow Freedcamp to access your GHL data; this grants read-only access to contacts as defined by the Scope.
– GET /contacts/:contactId — fetch a single contact – GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks — retrieve tasks for a contact – GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — retrieve a specific task – GET /contacts/:contactId/notes — retrieve notes for a contact – GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id — retrieve a specific note – GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments — retrieve appointments for a contact – GET /contacts/ — list all contacts – GET /contacts/business/:businessId — fetch business-related 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 as completed – DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — delete a task – POST /contacts/:contactId/tags — tag a contact
Trigger: When a new Freedcamp contact is created, pull the record into GHL as a new contact.
Actions: Create or update a corresponding contact in GHL with name, email, and basic fields.
GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, name, email
Trigger: When a Freedcamp task is updated, reflect the change in GHL.
Actions: Create or update a task in GHL with status and dueDate.
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: taskId, status, dueDate
Trigger: When a note is added in Freedcamp, update GHL notes for the corresponding contact.
Actions: Create or update notes and appointments in GHL.
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
Key fields: noteId, content

A concise glossary of terms used in this guide to help non-developers understand API concepts and integration steps.
Application Programming Interface: a set of endpoints and methods to access Freedcamp data via the GHL platform.

Run tests, verify data syncing, and enable live syncing in production.
Yes—this setup is primarily read-only, allowing you to view contact records, associated tasks, notes, and appointments in GHL. If you need write capabilities, you’ll need elevated permissions and endpoint access configured by your GHL administrator. Start with reading data to validate the flow before requesting additional permissions. Next, use the endpoints listed earlier to verify data retrieval in a test environment and confirm that data appears correctly in GHL.
You can access core contact data (via GET /contacts/:contactId and GET /contacts/), related tasks (GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks), notes (GET /contacts/:contactId/notes), and appointments (GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments). Each endpoint provides fields that map to common CRM attributes like name, email, task status, and note content. Complete data visibility depends on the permissions granted during authentication.
Write access is not enabled by default. To write back to Freedcamp, you must request additional scopes and endpoints from your GHL administrator and ensure the Freedcamp app is configured with the proper permissions. Once granted, you can create or update contacts, tasks, and notes via the corresponding POST/PUT endpoints. Always test in a sandbox before going live.
The integration uses OAuth 2.0 for secure delegated access. You’ll authorize Freedcamp to access your GHL data without sharing passwords. The access token is exchanged during the OAuth flow and used in API calls to the Contacts API.
No extensive coding is required for basic read-only setup. However, depending on your goals, you may need to configure a few mappings and test cases. Advanced automations or write-capable flows may require some scripting or a low-code automation tool to tailor endpoints and field mappings.
To test the connection, trigger a data pull from Freedcamp, verify that a corresponding record appears in GHL, and check that endpoints return expected data. Use test contacts, tasks, and notes to confirm mapping accuracy and ensure there are no data discrepancies.
Monitor API usage through your GHL analytics or developer console. Look for request counts, latency, and any rate-limit messages. Regularly review error logs to catch misconfigurations early and maintain smooth syncing.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
