To call the GHL Contacts API from GoCanvas you will obtain an access token via OAuth2 or a token based flow and include it in your requests. Store credentials securely and rotate them regularly.
GoCanvas connections use standard token based authentication and OAuth where supported by the GHL connector. Configure your app credentials in the GoCanvas integration settings.

Trigger on contact create or update in GHL to sync to GoCanvas
Actions: create or update corresponding contact in GoCanvas when changes occur
Method path used: GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch details as needed
Key fields: id, email, firstName, lastName
Trigger on task updates in GHL to reflect in GoCanvas tasks
Actions: create or update GoCanvas tasks associated with the contact
Method path: PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId
Key fields: taskId, title, status
Trigger on new notes in GHL to capture in GoCanvas
Actions: create notes in GoCanvas linked to the contact
Method path: POST /contacts/:contactId/notes
Key fields: id, content, createdAt
Rapid setup with no code required using drag and drop automations
Automations run in the cloud, reducing maintenance and custom development
Unified data across GHL and GoCanvas for better reporting
This glossary explains the core concepts used when connecting the GHL Contacts API with GoCanvas, including endpoints, triggers, actions, methods and fields
The REST based interface that lets apps read and write data in GHL
An event in GHL that starts an automation or workflow
An operation performed in response to a trigger
A specific URL path used to perform an API operation
Keep CRM and field data in sync by automatically creating or updating GoCanvas records
Reflect changes to tasks from GHL into GoCanvas as tasks in relevant records
Capture notes and activity history in GoCanvas for complete context
Obtain GHL API credentials and GoCanvas app credentials, then configure OAuth2 or token exchange
Map GHL fields to GoCanvas fields for contacts, tasks, notes and appointments
Run test requests, verify data integrity and enable live connection with monitoring
This integration is designed to work with no code setup using GoCanvas workflows and GHL automations. You can build data syncs using drag and drop builders without writing code. If you need more control, you can add simple rules and conditions to customize when data moves between systems. If you prefer a hands on approach, you can still leverage basic scripting or field mapping to tailor the flow further.
The integration supports core endpoints for contacts, tasks, notes and appointments as described in the endpoint list. You can fetch, create, update or delete contacts and attach tasks, notes and tags as needed. Not all endpoints are required in every page, but the full set is documented for reference.
Yes. You can use a sandbox or test data environment provided by GHL and GoCanvas to validate your configuration. Run test requests, review responses, and confirm that fields map correctly before going live.
Data sync frequency can be configured by the automation rules or webhooks. You can choose near real time, every few minutes, or batched intervals depending on your plan and needs.
Field mappings are configurable in the integration settings. You can map GHL contact fields to corresponding GoCanvas fields, including custom fields, to ensure data aligns across systems.
Credentials are stored securely by the platform and transmitted over TLS. Use OAuth tokens or API keys as provided and rotate credentials regularly for best security.
API rate limits and detailed endpoint definitions are documented in the GHL and GoCanvas API guides. You can consult the docs for your plan, test endpoints in the sandbox, and monitor usage in the dashboard.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
