Access requires your GHL API credentials. Ensure the scope includes at least contacts.readonly to safely retrieve contact data.
In Giggio, generate and securely store an API key or OAuth token from the developer console, then attach it to every request to the Contacts API.
Core endpoints you’ll use: 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
Trigger: GET /contacts/:contactId
Actions: Fetch the contact data, then pull related tasks via /contacts/:contactId/tasks and notes via /contacts/:contactId/notes as needed.
GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, firstName, lastName, email
Trigger: GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Actions: Retrieve tasks with /contacts/:contactId/tasks, then fetch task details via /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId and pull notes via /contacts/:contactId/notes.
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: contactId, taskId, taskStatus
Trigger: POST /contacts/ to create; PUT /contacts/:contactId to update; DELETE /contacts/:contactId to delete
Actions: Create, update, and delete contacts; manage related tasks with POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, and DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId.
POST /contacts/; PUT /contacts/:contactId; DELETE /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, email, name
Unified data access: pull contacts, tasks, and notes in one cohesive integration flow.
Automation-ready: trigger Giggio actions based on contact events to keep timelines aligned.
Secure by design: follow the contacts.readonly scope for safe, read-only data access by default.
Definitions of common terms: endpoint, contact, task, note, and the lifecycle actions used in this integration.
A unique identifier for a contact in the Contacts API.
A unique identifier for a task associated with a contact.
An API route that performs an action or retrieves data.
Permission levels granted to an app (e.g., read-only) for API access.
Automatically create a new Giggio contact when a new contact is added in the GHL Contacts API; map fields and assign initial tasks.
Push updates to Giggio whenever a contact’s tasks or notes change to keep timelines aligned.
Import large batches of contacts using API filters to segment data for Giggio and the Contacts API.
Create credentials in the Giggio developer portal and note the client ID and secret for OAuth or API key usage.
Authorize access to the Contacts API with the required scope (contacts.readonly) and set up redirect URIs for OAuth flows.
Test endpoints like GET /contacts/:contactId and POST /contacts/ using a tool such as Postman to validate the integration.
With the Contacts API, you can read contact records, related tasks, notes, and appointments within the scope granted (typically contacts.readonly for safe read-only access). This enables viewing data without permitting edits. For write operations such as creating or updating contacts, you would need the contacts.write scope. Always follow least-privilege access and rotate credentials regularly.
Read-only access is sufficient for many reporting and automation scenarios. If your workflow requires creating or updating contacts or tasks, you’ll need the write scope (contacts.write) and proper permissions configured in both Giggio and the GHL API credentials.
Use OAuth 2.0 or API keys with secure storage in Giggio. Store tokens securely, rotate secrets periodically, and restrict scopes to what is strictly necessary (preferably contacts.readonly by default). Implement token refresh handling and use HTTPS for all requests.
Common endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch a contact, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes to retrieve related items, and POST /contacts/ to create new contacts. For updates, PUT /contacts/:contactId is used, and tasks can be managed via POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks and related task endpoints.
Yes. You can automate syncing of tasks and notes by triggering Giggio actions whenever the corresponding GHL data changes, using the provided endpoints to keep both systems in sync and maintain accurate timelines.
Rate limits depend on your GHL account and API plan. Monitor response headers for rate-limit information, implement exponential backoff, and space batch requests to stay within quotas. If needed, request higher limits from your account admin or GHL support.
Giggio provides logs and an activity panel for API requests. You can also review endpoint-level responses in your developer console and set up webhooks or notifications to monitor failed requests and retries.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
