Authenticate requests using API keys or OAuth tokens. Store credentials securely and grant the minimum required scopes to protect data.
Gleam-io authentication mirrors standard API practices. Use your app credentials to obtain access tokens and include them in request headers.
GET /contacts/:contactId – Retrieve a single contact GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks – Retrieve tasks for a contact GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId – Retrieve a specific task GET /contacts/:contactId/notes – Retrieve notes for a contact GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id – Retrieve a specific note GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments – Retrieve appointments for a contact GET /contacts/ – Retrieve all contacts GET /contacts/business/:businessId – Retrieve contacts by business POST /contacts/ – Create a contact PUT /contacts/:contactId – Update a contact DELETE /contacts/:contactId – Delete a contact POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks – Create a task PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId – Update a task PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed – Mark a task as completed DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId – Delete a task POST /contacts/:contactId/tags – Add tags to a contact
Trigger: A new contact is created in Gleam-io (or an existing contact is updated).

Methods: POST /contacts/ for create; PUT /contacts/:contactId for update
Key fields: contactId, email, given_name, family_name
Trigger: Tasks updated in Gleam-io for a contact
Actions: GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId to fetch tasks
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId
Key fields: contactId, taskId
Trigger: Notes or appointments updated in Gleam-io
Actions: GET /contacts/:contactId/notes and GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes and GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments
Key fields: contactId, noteId, appointmentId
Automate contact data sync without writing code
Keep notes, tasks, and appointments up to date across systems
Speed up workflows with no-code automations and webhooks
Key elements and processes explained to help you design reliable integrations between GHL, the Contacts API, and Gleam-io.
GHL is the platform API and automation layer used to connect apps like Gleam-io with the Contacts API.
URIs and HTTP methods exposed by the Contacts API to perform CRUD operations on contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments.
An event in Gleam-io or the Contacts API that starts an automated workflow.
Methods to securely connect apps (API keys, OAuth tokens) and how to rotate credentials.
Capture Gleam-io leads in Contacts API automatically to build a clean CRM.
Link Gleam-io task updates to Contacts tasks for seamless work management.
Trigger reminders when deadlines approach using Gleam-io events.
Register your Gleam-io app with the Contacts API to receive an API key or OAuth credentials.
Enter your API key and set read-only or read-write scopes as needed.
Run a quick test to ensure endpoints respond correctly and data flows as expected.
The Contacts API provides programmatic access to your contact data, including people, tasks, notes, and appointments. Connecting Gleam-io allows you to pull or push data without manual exports. This makes automation and CRM syncing effortless. The API enables scalable integration with your existing workflows.
Most integrations can be built with no-code tools plus the GHL API. Some scenarios may require light scripting for custom logic; however, most common tasks can be accomplished using builders and webhooks.
Yes. Endpoints such as GET /contacts/:contactId and POST /contacts/ allow reading and creating contacts. You can also pull related data like tasks and notes. See the endpoint list for complete details.
Authentication is typically handled via API keys or OAuth tokens. You will manage credentials securely in your app settings. For Gleam-io, ensure you grant the appropriate scopes.
Yes, notes and tasks can be associated with a contact in the Contacts API, and Gleam-io can trigger updates accordingly. This keeps data in sync across systems.
Rate limits ensure stable performance. Respect the per-minute limits, cache data when possible, and implement exponential backoff for retries.
Explore docs, example workflows, and community examples for ideas. We also provide templates and starter flows to accelerate setup.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
