Frequently Asked Questions

What data can I sync between Funnelr and GHL?

You can sync contact basics, notes, tasks, and tags between Funnelr and GHL. This includes name, email, phone, company, notes, and tasks statuses. You can also map custom fields to capture more detail and segment contacts precisely. By aligning fields, you create cohesive data across both systems and unlock consistent automation triggers. In practice, this means fewer manual imports and more reliable follow-ups.

No code is required for standard flows; Funnelr provides UI-based mappings and templates to connect common data points. You can set up triggers, actions, and field mappings without writing code. For more complex scenarios, lightweight transformations or custom field logic can be added, but most teams start with the built-in templates.

Data is transmitted securely using TLS and credentials are stored with strong encryption. Tokens rotate automatically and access is governed by least-privilege permissions. You control which scopes are granted and you can revoke access at any time. Regular audits and logging help you monitor activity.

GHL authentication typically uses OAuth2 or API tokens. Generate a token in GHL and install it in Funnelr to authorize API calls. Never expose tokens in the UI or logs, and refresh tokens as required by the provider. If token expiry occurs, Funnelr will prompt you to reauthenticate.

Essential endpoints include creating and updating contacts, retrieving tasks and notes, and tagging contacts. The sections above reference endpoints such as POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, and POST /contacts/:contactId/tags. Choose endpoints that align with your workflows and data requirements.

Yes, real-time updates are possible via webhooks or periodic polling depending on your setup. Webhooks deliver events as they occur, while polling checks for changes at defined intervals. Configure the mechanism that best fits your data freshness needs and rate limits.

Rate limits and quotas vary by GHL plan and API access level. Check the GHL developer portal for current limits and best practices. If you approach limits, implement exponential backoff, request batching where possible, and optimize field mappings to reduce unnecessary calls.
