Authenticate requests to the Contacts API with your GHL credentials. Use your API key or OAuth token to authorize data reads, writes, and updates.
Authenticate GatewayAPI SMS to access the Contacts API. Use a secure API key or token exchange so GatewayAPI SMS can read and modify contact data as permitted.

Trigger: when a contact is viewed or updated in GatewayAPI SMS, pull the latest data from Contacts API to enrich your record.
Actions: GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
Method paths: GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
Key fields: contactId, taskId, noteId
Trigger: a new lead arrives in GatewayAPI SMS and a corresponding Contacts API entry should be created.
Actions: POST /contacts/, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Method paths: POST /contacts/, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: contactId
Trigger: notes or tasks are created or updated in Contacts API and should be reflected in GatewayAPI SMS workflows.
Actions: GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId
Method paths: GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: contactId, taskId, noteId
Build powerful automations without writing code. Connect data flows between Contacts API and GatewayAPI SMS using triggers and actions in a visual builder.
Speed up time‑to‑value with ready‑to‑use REST endpoints and mapping templates that you can customize.
Reuse automations across campaigns, ensuring consistent contact data and messaging across channels.
Key elements include API endpoints, authentication, data mapping, triggers and actions, and error handling. Understanding these helps you design reliable, maintainable integrations.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to access or modify data in a service.
The method used to verify your identity (API keys, OAuth tokens, or other credentials) for API requests.
The data sent with a request (often JSON) when creating or updating resources.
A callback URL that receives real‑time data events from a service when something changes.
Trigger a nurture sequence in GatewayAPI SMS whenever a contact gains a new task or note in the Contacts API.
Automatically create or update notes in GatewayAPI SMS when notes are added in Contacts API.
When GatewayAPI SMS captures a form submission, create a new Contacts API entry and start follow‑ups instantly.
Obtain and securely store API credentials for both services, verify permissions, and set up a sandbox to test flows.
Map fields between Contacts API and GatewayAPI SMS, define triggers, and set up error handling rules.
Run end‑to‑end tests, review logs, fix any issues, and deploy to live workflows.
Yes. Start with a minimal, well‑scoped flow that reads a contact and pulls basic fields. You can progressively add tasks, notes, and tags as you validate the data. This keeps risk low while you validate the integration.
Absolutely. You can choose which fields to sync. Map only the necessary IDs, names, and status fields first, then expand to notes and tasks as you mature the workflow.
Use API keys or OAuth tokens with least‑privilege permissions. Rotate credentials periodically and store them securely. Consider separate keys for sandbox and production environments.
Commonly, GET /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts/, and POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks are used to create and synchronize records. Additional endpoints for notes and tags help enrich contact data.
Check request and response logs, verify field mappings, and confirm authentication headers. If a call fails, review error codes and adjust payloads or permissions accordingly.
Yes. API rate limits can apply. Space out requests, batch operations where possible, and implement retry logic with exponential backoff to avoid hitting limits.
Test in a staging environment with sample contacts. Validate each flow, monitor performance, and gradually move to production once stability is confirmed.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
