Authenticate requests to the Contacts API using your GetResponse API key within the Authorization header. The integration operates with the scope: contacts.readonly, and allows both read and write actions where permitted by your credentials.
Use your GetResponse API key to authorize calls from the GHL connector. Safely store credentials and rotate keys as part of your security best practices.
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 API endpoint for write scope: 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
Trigger: When a contact is updated in GHL, automatically push the changes to GetResponse to keep campaign data in sync.
Actions: Create or update GetResponse contact records, update tags, and refresh field mappings to reflect changes.
Method paths commonly used include PUT /contacts/:contactId to update, and GET /contacts/:contactId to verify changes.
Key fields: contactId, email, firstName, lastName, status, tags
Trigger: A new form submission in GetResponse creates or updates a corresponding contact in the Contacts API.
Actions: POST /contacts/ to create, then map fields like email, name, and lead_source; attach to appropriate lists or segments.
Method: POST /contacts/ to create new contacts; PUT /contacts/:contactId for updates
Key fields: email, firstName, lastName, lead_source, status
Trigger: Task or note changes in GetResponse or GHL trigger corresponding updates in the other system.
Actions: PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, and manage notes via GET/POST to /contacts/:contactId/notes
Method paths: PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId
Key fields: contactId, taskId, status, dueDate, notes
No-code automation: Build cross-system workflows without writing code, using visual triggers and actions.
Real-time data synchronization: Keep contact data, tasks, and notes in sync across GetResponse and GHL.
Scalable workflows: Easily extend mappings and add new endpoints as your needs grow.
Understand the core elements: API Endpoints define access to resources, Triggers start automations, Actions perform tasks, and Field Mappings align data between systems.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to access a resource in an API.
The process of verifying identity to authorize API access (e.g., API keys or tokens).
A token used to authorize requests to the API.
A callback URL that gets notified when events occur in an app.
Automatically pull additional fields from GHL into GetResponse to enrich contact profiles without manual data entry.
Route contacts to GetResponse campaigns based on behavior tracked in GHL, enabling targeted nurturing.
Trigger GetResponse campaigns when key events occur in GHL, such as task completion or note updates.
Log into GetResponse to generate an API key. Keep it secure and ready to configure in the GHL connector.
In the connector, link GetResponse endpoints with the GHL Contacts endpoints and map fields such as email, name, status, and tags.
Run test syncs, review logs, set up alerts, and deploy to production once everything validates.
Answer: The GetResponse Contacts API requires an API key-based authentication. Include the API key in the Authorization header of each request. The key provides access according to the permissions granted (read-only for scope: contacts.readonly, and broader access where allowed). Ensure your environment stores credentials securely and rotates keys periodically. In practice, you will use a Bearer token or similar header as defined by GetResponse documentation. The GHL connector will manage token usage during sync operations.
Answer: Read-only endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, and similar retrieval routes. Write operations are supported on endpoints like POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId, DELETE /contacts/:contactId, and similar task management endpoints. Availability depends on the API key permissions configured in GetResponse. Always validate scope before enabling write operations in your workflow.
Answer: To test the connection, create a test contact in GetResponse and trigger a sync from GHL, or initiate a test call from the GHL connector to a known endpoint. Review the API response, verify data mapping, and check logs for any authentication or permission errors. Use a sandbox or staging environment when available to avoid affecting production data.
Answer: No coding is required for typical scenarios. The integration is designed for no-code automation using the GHL connector, with point-and-click field mappings, trigger events, and actions. For advanced workflows, you can extend mappings and endpoints, but the core usage does not require programming. If custom logic is needed, you can leverage pre-built templates and conditional mappings within the connector.
Answer: Yes. You can map only the fields you need between Contacts API and GetResponse. Field mapping includes essential identifiers like email, firstName, lastName, plus any custom fields or tags. This helps reduce data transfer and keeps relevant information in sync without duplicating unnecessary data.
Answer: Rate limits depend on your GetResponse plan and API configuration. Typical considerations include the number of requests per minute and per day. If you anticipate high traffic, implement batching, caching, and exponential backoff in your workflows to stay within limits and maintain reliability.
Answer: Use the connector’s built-in logs, error codes, and dashboards to monitor activity. You can also configure alerting for failures, retries, and throttling. For deeper analysis, export logs to your preferred SIEM or monitoring tool and review error messages to diagnose authentication, permission, or mapping issues.
