Authenticate requests using your GHL client credentials with the required scope (contacts.readonly). Store tokens securely and rotate them regularly.
Configure GoodBarber to securely store the GHL API credentials and to proxy requests to the Contacts API using approved endpoints.

Benefit: Build powerful automations without writing code using ready-made endpoints.
Benefit: Keep customer data synchronized across platforms in real time.
Benefit: Scale your eCommerce workflows with reliable API actions for contacts, tasks, and notes.
Key elements include endpoints, authentication, data mapping, and change events. This glossary explains terms you’ll encounter.
A specific URL that represents a resource in the GHL API.
The process of verifying identity and permissions to access API resources.
A callback URL that signals your app when data changes in GHL.
The data carried in an API request or response.
Show live updates of contact status and recent activity in GoodBarber screens to boost engagement.
Trigger follow-up tasks and notes whenever a sale occurs in GoodBarber, routed via the API.
Use endpoint data to tailor onboarding messages based on contact tags, recent activity, and business data.
Register the app in GHL, obtain client credentials, and set the scope to include contacts.readonly.
Define field mappings for contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments, and select the endpoints you will use.
Run test requests, verify data integrity, set up alerts, and go live.
The GHL Contacts API provides programmatic access to contact data, tasks, notes, and appointments. It enables you to pull, create, update, and delete records from your external apps, including GoodBarber eCommerce. Properly configuring authentication and scopes ensures secure access and data integrity. This integration lets you surface CRM data within your storefront experience without custom code.
No extensive coding is required if you use the no-code/low-code capabilities of your platform. You can map fields, trigger webhooks, and route data between GHL and GoodBarber using prebuilt endpoints. For advanced automations, light scripting or a middleware layer can simplify complex flows.
Common endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch a contact, POST /contacts/ to create a contact, PUT /contacts/:contactId to update, and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to retrieve tasks. These endpoints support typical eCommerce workflows like syncing customers, tasks related to orders, and notes about interactions.
Use OAuth2 or the API key method provided by GHL to authenticate. Always request the minimum required scope (for example, contacts.readonly). Store tokens securely, rotate credentials periodically, and use secure storage in GoodBarber to protect user data.
Yes. You can push updates from GoodBarber to GHL by using POST and PUT endpoints for contacts and tasks. This enables bi-directional syncing where changes in one system reflect in the other, keeping data consistent across platforms.
There are no-code approaches available through Zapier style connectors or built-in integrations that map fields and trigger actions. For more complex flows, a lightweight integration layer can be added, but many scenarios can be implemented without custom code.
API rate limits and quotas depend on your GHL plan. Plan for retries and backoff in your integration. Monitor usage via the GHL dashboard and implement caching where appropriate to avoid excessive calls while maintaining data freshness.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
