Authenticate requests to the GHL Contacts API with an API key or OAuth credentials. Treat credentials as sensitive data, rotate keys regularly, and restrict access to authorized apps only.
Configure FreedomSoft to access your GHL data by registering the app in the GHL developer console and granting the necessary scopes (including contacts.readonly). Store client credentials securely and refresh tokens as needed.
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 API Endpoint9: 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
When a new contact is created in FreedomSoft, automatically create or update the corresponding contact in GHL and assign initial tasks.
Use POST /contacts/ to create the contact, then POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to add tasks.
POST /contacts/; POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
name, email, phone, company, tags; task titles and due dates
When notes or tags are added in FreedomSoft, mirror them on the GHL contact.
POST /contacts/:contactId/notes; POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
POST /contacts/:contactId/notes; POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
contactId, note content, tags
When a task is completed in FreedomSoft, mark it completed in GHL.
PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed to reflect completion.
PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed
contactId, taskId, completed = true
No-code automation: connect FreedomSoft and GHL using triggers and actions without writing code.
Faster integration: leverage a Zapier-style app connector to map fields and test workflows instantly.
Error reduction: synchronize data consistently to minimize manual entry and data drift.
This section defines core elements and processes you’ll encounter when linking GHL with FreedomSoft.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to perform an action on a resource (for example, GET /contacts/:contactId).
An authorization framework that allows apps to access user data without sharing passwords by issuing tokens.
A secret token used to authenticate requests to an API.
Create, Read, Update, and Delete are the basic data operations exposed by RESTful APIs.
Automatically enrich new contacts with basic metadata from FreedomSoft to populate GHL fields and reduce manual data entry.
Create reusable task templates in GHL that can be applied to multiple FreedomSoft contacts via a single trigger.
Automatically tag and segment contacts in GHL based on FreedomSoft activity to improve segmentation in marketing campaigns.
Register the app, obtain API keys or OAuth tokens, and ensure the correct scopes (e.g., contacts.readonly) are granted.
Map FreedomSoft events to GHL endpoints (e.g., new contact to POST /contacts/ and new tasks to POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks).
Run tests, verify data sync, and refine mappings to handle errors and edge cases.
You will authenticate using an API key or OAuth token issued by GHL. Keep credentials secure, rotate keys regularly, and apply the principle of least privilege so the app only has access to the necessary scopes. Use secure storage and never expose keys in client-side code. If your organization uses OAuth, ensure refresh tokens are rotated and that your app can gracefully recover from token expiration without interrupting data sync.
At minimum, you’ll use GET /contacts/:contactId to read contact data and POST /contacts/ to create new contacts. To synchronize tasks, use POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks and PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed to update status. For notes and tags, POST /contacts/:contactId/notes and POST /contacts/:contactId/tags are common. Depending on needs, you may also read or write notes, appointments, and other related data.
Yes. The Zapier App Connector (or similar no-code automation layer) lets you map fields and set up triggers and actions without custom code. Start with a sandbox or test account, verify each step, and gradually promote to production once data flows are validated. Monitor logs to catch any mapping or authentication issues early.
Read access (e.g., contacts.readonly) is typically required to pull data into FreedomSoft or GHL. For creating, updating, or deleting records, ensure the app has the appropriate write permissions (e.g., contacts.write) and that actions are scoped to the necessary resources. Always follow least privilege principles.
Respect the API’s rate limits by implementing exponential backoff on failed requests and queuing retries. Use idempotent operations where possible (especially POST) and consider storing a local retry log to avoid duplicate actions. Monitor API responses for 429 (Too Many Requests) and space out retries accordingly.
API credentials are obtained from the GHL developer console or OAuth provider for your app. Store them securely in a private vault or environment variables, never in code or client-side storage. Rotate credentials regularly and implement access controls for team members.
Data mismatches can happen if mappings drift or if there are conflicts during sync. Implement reconciliation logic, maintain a robust audit trail, and run periodic data health checks. Use webhooks or polling to detect and correct discrepancies promptly.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
