Use OAuth 2.0 tokens with the GHL Contacts API and request the scope contacts.readonly to view data securely.
Store credentials securely, implement token refresh, and follow least privilege access when connecting GoodBarber to the GHL API.
The integration uses a range of endpoints to read and manage contacts, tasks, notes and related data. See the detailed endpoints section below for core paths and actions.
Trigger: Read a contact to populate GoodBarber UI with the latest data.
Actions: fetch contact profile, sync fields, and pull related items like tasks and notes.
GET /contacts/:contactId
contactId, name, email, phone, company
Trigger: When a contact’s task data is needed for a dashboard or report.
Actions: retrieve tasks, filter by status, and push to GoodBarber tasks module.
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
contactId, taskId, title, status, dueDate
Trigger: Access a single task by ID to update progress.
Actions: fetch task details, update status, and reflect in GoodBarber tasks.
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId
contactId, taskId, status, title, dueDate
Live data syncing without custom code lets teams sync contacts, tasks, notes and appointments in real time.
Drag and drop builders plus REST endpoints enable quick UI updates without a dev cycle.
Automated workflows reduce manual data entry and minimize errors across systems.
This section covers the core elements and processes when linking GHL with GoodBarber, including endpoints, authentication, data fields, and syncing logic.
A person in your CRM with identifiable fields such as name, email and phone, stored in GHL and synced to GoodBarber.
A to do item linked to a contact, with status, due date and title.
Free form notes attached to a contact to capture context and history.
Calendar event linked to a contact in GHL for scheduling and reminders.
Use real time contact data to tailor user experiences in GoodBarber apps and web views.
Automatically generate tasks based on contact activity and sync back to GHL.
Attach notes from GoodBarber conversations to the GHL contact record for full context.
Create a GHL API app and obtain client ID, client secret, and required scopes.
Set up OAuth 2.0 flow and token refresh in GoodBarber.
Test endpoints in a sandbox environment and deploy to production once verified.
No heavy coding is required. You can connect using the GHL OAuth flow and call standard REST endpoints from GoodBarber. Start with the read only scope and expand as needed. The documentation provides sample requests you can adapt to your UI.
For a basic sync you typically need endpoints that read a contact and its related data such as tasks and notes. GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes constitute a core set for viewing data. You can extend with additional endpoints as your app grows.
Use OAuth 2.0 tokens with short lived access tokens and refresh tokens. Store tokens securely, rotate credentials regularly, and follow least privilege access for the app. Use HTTPS for all requests and validate scopes for each operation.
Yes. You can read contact data and optionally write updates to certain fields if your scope allows it. Start with read only and upgrade to write endpoints such as POST, PUT or DELETE as needed and authorized.
There are rate limits set by the API. If you exceed limits, you may receive throttling responses. Implement exponential backoff in your calls and cache frequently used data when appropriate.
Use a sandbox or test environment to verify endpoints, authentication flows, and data mappings. Validate that data syncs correctly to GoodBarber and monitor logs for errors before going into production.
Key terms include Contact, Task, Notes, Appointment, Endpoint, OAuth, Access Token, Refresh Token, and Scope. Understanding these helps you map fields and plan data flows between GHL and GoodBarber.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
