Authenticate requests using your GHL credentials with the appropriate scope (contacts.readonly) to retrieve contact data.
Gavel uses OAuth-style tokens to authorize API calls. Ensure tokens are refreshed regularly and stored securely for uninterrupted access to Contacts data.
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; 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; contacts.write
Trigger: GET /contacts/:contactId
Actions: Use GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes to enrich contact records.
Method path: GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, firstName, lastName, email
Trigger: POST /contacts/
Actions: POST /contacts/ to create; PUT /contacts/:contactId to update existing
Method path: POST /contacts/
Key fields: name, email, phone
Trigger: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed; DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId
Method path: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: taskId, title, dueDate, status
Faster, automated data flow between your Contacts data and Gavel workflows
Automated task creation and updates across apps without manual coding
Centralized customer data enabling better segmentation and insights
A quick glossary of terms and processes used in the GHL Contacts API and Gavel integration
A defined URL pattern to access a resource in the API.
The process of verifying identity and securing access to API resources.
A token granted to authorize API calls on behalf of a user or app.
A callback URL notified when a specific event occurs in the API.
Automatically sync contact updates from Gavel to the Contacts API to keep data fresh.
Create and assign tasks based on CRM events to streamline team workflows.
Trigger downstream automation when contact data changes, leveraging webhooks.
Obtain API keys, set the appropriate scope (e.g., contacts.readonly), and securely store credentials.
Map the API endpoints to Gavel data fields and set up your authentication flow.
Run test calls, validate responses, and monitor for errors before going live.
The read-only scope grants access to retrieve contact data. Use it for dashboards and reporting. If you need to modify data, request broader scopes in your OAuth setup. Always follow least-privilege principles.
Refresh tokens expire and can be renewed using the OAuth refresh flow. Store tokens securely and handle expiration gracefully by re-authenticating when needed.
Supported endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/, POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId, DELETE /contacts/:contactId, and related sub-resources like tasks, notes, and tags.
Yes. Use POST to create new contacts and PUT to update existing records by contactId. Ensure proper validation of required fields.
Webhooks are supported for key events such as contact updates and task changes. Configure a listener in Gavel to receive real-time updates.
Check API credentials, ensure correct scopes, verify endpoint paths, and review rate limits. Use test environment to reproduce issues.
Consult the official API documentation and the integration guides within the Rankr knowledge base for detailed references.
