The GHL Contacts API provides programmatic access to your contacts, tasks, notes, and more, enabling automation across platforms. By connecting Gumroad to the Contacts API, you can keep customer data synchronized and trigger actions automatically based on Gumroad events. This reduces manual data entry and improves data accuracy across systems.
Yes, you need an active Gumroad account to access customer data. The integration uses GHL API credentials to perform actions like creating or updating contacts. Gumroad authentication is handled by your app environment or via OAuth, depending on your setup.
Common starting endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch a contact and POST /contacts/ to create one. You can also pull related data with GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes to gather context before updating or creating records.
Yes, you can update existing Gumroad customers in GHL using PUT /contacts/:contactId. Ensure you handle conflicts gracefully and respect rate limits to maintain data integrity.
There are no hard limits in this guide, but actual limits depend on your GHL plan and API quotas. For large imports, batch the sync, monitor for errors, and implement retry logic where appropriate.
Data transfers use HTTPS with token-based authentication. Store credentials securely, rotate keys regularly, and follow best practices for least-privilege access and secret management.
In your GHL dashboard, go to API & Webhooks to generate keys and view endpoints. In Gumroad, configure your app or use an integration tool like Zapier to route data and manage webhooks.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
