Obtain your GHL API credentials and configure the scope to read contact data securely (scope: contacts.readonly).
Grant GatherUp read access to your Contacts data via the GHL API and ensure the app can fetch profiles, tasks, notes, and appointments.
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; 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
Triggered when GatherUp needs the latest data for a contact to populate a record or trigger a workflow.
Actions: GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, name, email, phone
Triggered during onboarding or periodic sync to seed GatherUp with a business’s contacts.
Actions: GET /contacts/, GET /contacts/business/:businessId
GET /contacts/business/:businessId
Key fields: businessId, contactId, name
Triggered when a new task is created in GatherUp and needs to be stored in GHL.
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: contactId, taskId
No custom development required; leverage prebuilt endpoints and automations.
Keep data in sync across GatherUp and GHL with secure, scalable API calls.
Rapid deployment for sales and customer success teams with minimal setup.
This glossary explains API terms and data flows you’ll use when linking GatherUp with the GHL Contacts API.
A specific URL path and HTTP method used to request data from an API.
The process of verifying identity to access API resources.
A token used to authorize API requests on behalf of a user or app.
An automatic notification sent by an API when a certain event occurs.
Automatically pull new contacts from GHL and seed onboarding tasks in GatherUp using the GET /contacts/:contactId and related task endpoints.
Schedule a weekly data pull to surface updated contacts, tasks, and notes in a centralized GatherUp dashboard.
Automatically tag or update contacts based on activity, helping cleanup and segmentation.
In GHL, create an API client or API key for the Contacts API and note the client ID and secret.
Set the scope to contacts.readonly and authorize GatherUp to access your Contacts data.
Run test calls to fetch a contact, its tasks and notes, and verify data flows into GatherUp.
No extensive coding is required. GatherUp can consume the GHL Contacts API using prebuilt endpoints and standard authentication methods. Start with a simple read of a single contact to verify data flow, then expand to related tasks and notes as needed. You can layer in additional endpoints over time without rewriting core logic.
Essential endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes to retrieve core data. For broader context, GET /contacts/ and GET /contacts/business/:businessId help seed multiple records. Use these in combination to keep GatherUp aligned with GHL data.
Permissions are governed by the API scope. For read-only access, use contacts.readonly to retrieve profiles, tasks, notes, and appointments. Grant the app only the minimum required permissions and rotate credentials regularly to maintain security.
Yes. Use GET /contacts/business/:businessId to fetch all contacts for a given business, then pull related tasks and notes as needed with the corresponding endpoints. This supports onboarding and ongoing syncing.
Test the integration in a sandbox or staging environment using sample requests in Postman or your integration tool. Map response fields to GatherUp fields (name, email, phone, tasks, notes), then verify data appears correctly in GatherUp workflows.
Rate limits vary by plan. Plan for retries and backoffs, implement exponential backoff, and batch requests where possible to maintain reliable syncing without hitting limits.
API credentials are created in the GHL developer console or API client area. Store secrets securely (environment variables, secret managers) and rotate them periodically to minimize risk.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
