Authenticate the GHL side by connecting your Contacts API app to your GHL account. Use an API key or OAuth token from your provider and map scopes to read contact data, tasks, notes, and gender fields.
Obtain your Gender-API-com API key, enable necessary endpoints, and grant permissions so GHL can request gender data for contacts.
Available endpoints between GHL Contacts API and Gender-API-com include: 1) GET /contacts/:contactId 2) GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks 3) GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId 4) GET /contacts/:contactId/notes 5) GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id 6) GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments 7) GET /contacts/ 8) GET /contacts/business/:businessId 9) contacts.write 10) POST /contacts/ 11) PUT /contacts/:contactId 12) DELETE /contacts/:contactId 13) POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks 14) PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId 15) PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed 16) DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId 17) POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
Trigger: after a contact is opened or saved in GHL
Actions: fetch gender data, update contact gender fields, log enrichment in notes
Method/Path: GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, gender, firstName, lastName
Trigger: scheduled sync (e.g., nightly)
Actions: pull multiple contacts, enrich gender, push updates to GHL
Method/Path: GET /contacts/
Key fields: contactId, businessId
Trigger: a new gender data point is available
Actions: create tasks, update tags, notify teams
Method/Path: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: contactId, taskId, gender
Zero-code setup with drag-and-drop App Connector
Instant gender enrichment to personalize campaigns
Unified data view across Contacts, tasks, notes, and gender insights
Key concepts include endpoints, authentication, data mapping, triggers, and workflows that combine Contacts API with Gender-API-com in GHL.
GHL is the CRM platform in this integration, hosting the App Connector and enabling workflow automations.
API stands for Application Programming Interface; it exposes endpoints like GET /contacts/:contactId to retrieve data.
Authentication uses API keys or OAuth tokens to authorize access to endpoints.
An endpoint is a specific URL in the API that performs an action, such as retrieving a contact or creating a task.
Automatically fetch gender data when a new contact is created in GHL and populate gender fields for segmentation.
Create tasks or reminders based on gender insights to tailor outreach.
Build campaigns that target segments defined by gender data enrichments.
Get your Gender-API-com key and configure your GHL app credentials in the App Connector.
Map the endpoints (1-17) and data fields to fields in GHL, including gender fields.
Build automation rules to trigger tasks, updates, and outreach using gender data.
Gender data is retrieved via Gender-API-com when you fetch or update a contact. The enrichment can populate the gender field and related notes on the contact. This gender data can then trigger tasks or campaigns and support segmentation for personalized outreach.
Use API keys or OAuth tokens to authenticate. In the App Connector, map credentials from Gender-API-com and GHL, then test the connection. Ensure the correct scopes are granted (read access to contacts and gender data) before going live.
Yes, you can set rate limits and implement batching to manage large imports. If you hit limits, stagger requests and monitor usage to avoid interruptions.
The pattern shown here focuses on GHL and Gender-API-com, but the App Connector concept can be adapted to other apps with similar endpoints. For other apps, you would repeat the mapping steps and maintain consistent data fields for gender, notes, and tasks.
Use the built-in test mode in the App Connector to simulate API calls and verify responses. Check mappings and ensure data flows correctly before enabling live automation.
Enrichment results appear in the contact record, a gender field, or attached notes depending on your mapping. Create dashboards or reports in GHL to visualize gender distributions and campaign performance.
Error handling includes retries, logging, and alerting within the App Connector. If a call fails, you can queue, skip, or escalate the issue to maintain workflow reliability.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
