To connect Groove to the Contacts API obtain your GHL API key or OAuth token and configure in your integration settings.
In Groove use the app credentials to authorize requests to the Contacts API and store tokens securely.
Common endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch a contact, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to fetch tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes to fetch notes, POST /contacts/ to create a contact, PUT /contacts/:contactId to update a contact, DELETE /contacts/:contactId to delete a contact. Additional endpoints cover notes, tasks, appointments and tags such as GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed, POST /contacts/:contactId/tags and GET /contacts/business/:businessId. For a full reference see the API documentation.

No code options are available using prebuilt automations and connectors. You can set up webhooks or automation rules to move data between Groove and the Contacts API without writing code. For developers, the API is fully accessible for custom workflows and integrations. This makes it easy to start quickly and scale as needed.
Common endpoints include fetching a contact, listing tasks, creating notes, and updating contact details. A typical flow might create a contact with POST /contacts, then create tasks with POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks and attach notes with POST /contacts/:contactId/notes. Always map contactId to ensure data remains linked.
Use OAuth or API keys as supported by the GHL API and store tokens securely. Rotate credentials regularly and use least privilege access. Ensure requests are made over HTTPS and implement error handling to gracefully manage expired tokens.
Yes, you can set up automatic two way sync for notes and tasks or limit to one way depending on your needs. Two way sync requires careful mapping of fields and status to prevent conflicts. Start with one way and expand after validating reliability.
The Contacts API exposes fields for contact identity, tasks, notes, and tags among others. You can access contactId, taskId, noteId, status, dueDate, and content, plus business related identifiers. Refer to the API reference for a complete field list.
Zapier can connect Groove to the Contacts API using webhooks and actions. You can trigger events from Groove and perform corresponding API calls to Contacts. This provides a no code path for automations with familiar tools.
API call logs are visible in your GHL account and Groove app dashboards where available. For deeper analysis, enable logging in your integration and store logs in your preferred system for auditing and debugging.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
