Authenticate API requests using your GHL API key. Include the key in the Authorization header as a Bearer token or as required by the connector. Keep credentials secure and rotate keys regularly.
In Growbots, connect to GHL by configuring the app’s API credentials within the connector. Use OAuth or API keys as supported, and verify permissions (scopes) like contacts.readonly.
Endpoints:\n- GET /contacts/:contactId\n- GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks\n- GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId\n- GET /contacts/:contactId/notes\n- GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id\n- GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments\n- GET /contacts/\n- GET /contacts/business/:businessId\n- API Endpoint9: contacts.write\n- API Endpoint10: POST /contacts/\n- API Endpoint11: PUT /contacts/:contactId\n- API Endpoint12: DELETE /contacts/:contactId\n- API Endpoint13: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks\n- API Endpoint14: PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId\n- API Endpoint15: PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed\n- API Endpoint16: DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId\n- API Endpoint17: POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
Trigger: A new or updated contact in Growbots prompts a fetch of the latest data from the GHL Contacts API (GET /contacts/:contactId) to ensure the local record is current.
Actions: Create or update the corresponding contact in Growbots using data from GHL (name, email, phone, and custom fields).
Method Path: GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, name, email, phone, businessId
Trigger: A task is created or updated in Growbots or GHL (GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks or /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId) triggers a sync.
Actions: Create, update, or complete tasks across both systems (PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks).
Method paths: GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId
Key fields: contactId, taskId
Trigger: New notes, appointments, or business data updates in GHL trigger updates in Growbots via the notes and appointments endpoints.
Actions: Pull notes (GET /contacts/:contactId/notes) and appointments (GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments) into Growbots; map business data from /contacts/business/:businessId to the contact record.
Method paths: GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments, GET /contacts/ and GET /contacts/business/:businessId
Key fields: contactId, businessId
Automate repetitive data entry and updates without writing code.
Speed up onboarding and lead processing with real-time data sync.
Maintain consistent data across Growbots and GHL for better reporting and actions.
This glossary explains core data elements and the processes used to integrate Growbots with the GHL Contacts API, including authentication, endpoints, and data mapping.
Application Programming Interface – a set of rules that enables software systems to communicate.
Security mechanism for verifying access, typically via tokens or keys.
A specific URL path that performs an action or returns data.
A callback URL that notifies your app when an event occurs.
Automatically push new or updated GHL contacts into Growbots as leads, with tasks assigned.
Keep contact data consistent by syncing updates back and forth.
Create tasks in Growbots automatically from important GHL events like calls or meetings.
Obtain your GHL API key and configure the Growbots app to use it securely.
Map Growbots fields to the corresponding GHL contact fields and endpoints to ensure accurate data transfer.
Run end-to-end tests, set up error handling, and go live with monitoring.
The GHL Contacts API is a RESTful interface that lets apps read and manage contact data, including notes, tasks, and appointments. It standardizes how external apps request data and perform actions on your GHL account.\nYou will authenticate using an API key or token and call endpoints like GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch details.
No-code builders and connectors can handle most common workflows between Growbots and the GHL Contacts API. If your scenario requires custom mapping or transformation, you can add data mapping steps within the connector or use simple automation rules.\nFor complex logic, light scripting or using an integration platform helps tailor the flow.
Available endpoints cover core data: contacts, tasks, notes, appointments, and basic business associations. This enables patterns like syncing contact details, propagating tasks, and recording notes across systems.\nYou can compose multi-endpoint flows to automate typical lead-management scenarios.
Authenticate with your GHL API key. Include the key in the Authorization header as a Bearer token. Keep credentials secure and rotate keys regularly. If OAuth is supported by the connector, prefer it for long-lived integrations.\nAlways use a restricted scope (e.g., contacts.readonly) where possible and elevate only as needed.
Bulk pulls are generally performed through iterative requests over individual contact records or via list endpoints that require pagination. Plan to paginate and handle large datasets with batch processing.\nUse rate-limiting aware retries to avoid hitting API limits and ensure data integrity.
Common errors include 401 (unauthorized), 403 (forbidden), and 429 (rate limit). Implement retry logic with exponential backoff and respect the API’s retry-after guidance.\nMonitor error patterns and set alerts so your team can respond quickly.
Test the integration in a development or sandbox environment if available, or use a staging workspace. Validate each endpoint mapping with sample data before moving to production.\nRun end-to-end tests that cover authentication, data mapping, and trigger-based flows.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
