To use the Contacts API, obtain an OAuth 2.0 access token from your GHL developer console and attach it to every request. Start with the minimal scope of contacts.readonly for read‑only access to contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments.
Happy Scribe connects to the GHL Contacts API through an OAuth flow. Grant the necessary scopes (primarily contacts.readonly) so transcription data can be associated with the right contact records without broad access.

Build end‑to‑end automations without writing a line of code, directly in your editor or Elementor templates.
Keep data synchronized in real time between transcription results and contact records for accurate CRM insights.
Leverage Elementor‑driven layouts to visualize connections, endpoints, and workflows in a visual builder.
This glossary covers essential terms used when connecting the GHL Contacts API with Happy Scribe, including authorization, endpoints, webhooks, tasks, and notes.
Definition: The process of obtaining an access token to call the API, typically via OAuth 2.0.
Definition: A specific URL in the API that you can call to perform an action.
Definition: A HTTP callback that triggers automation when an event occurs in an external system.
Definition: An item representing work assigned to a contact, such as a transcription task.
Automatically append transcription highlights or full notes to a contact in GHL to keep records complete.
Trigger transcription jobs based on CRM events and create related tasks in GHL for follow‑ups.
Tag contacts in GHL based on transcript content to enable targeted campaigns and routing.
In GHL, create an OAuth app and grant the required scopes (e.g., contacts.readonly).
Choose the endpoints you need, such as contacts, tasks, notes, and tags, for your use case.
Use the Elementor page builder to assemble triggers and actions into a visual workflow that reads from and writes to GHL.
The Contacts API lets Happy Scribe read and sync contact data from GHL into transcription workflows. It enables pulling contact details, tasks, notes, events, and tags so you can attach context to transcripts and keep CRM and transcripts in sync. The setup uses no-code tools and an OAuth flow, so you can connect quickly without a developer.
No-code is sufficient for most teams. Using Elementor and a no-code integration builder, you can authenticate, select endpoints, and wire triggers to actions. If you need more complex logic, you can add simple conditional steps in your workflow without touching code.
Available endpoints cover contacts, tasks, notes, appointments, and business data. See the endpoint list above for a complete reference. You can perform reads and create or update tasks and notes within the allowed scopes.
Test the integration by running a sample transcription and verifying that the corresponding contact in GHL updates with notes or tasks. Use mock data to validate triggers and endpoints before going live.
Common fields synced include contactId, task titles, due dates, note content, and tag names. The exact fields depend on the endpoint and your workflow configuration.
Yes. Webhooks can notify your system of changes in GHL or Happy Scribe so your workflows react instantly. Configure your webhook URL in your GHL app settings and map events to your actions.
API keys are issued in your GHL developer console. Create an app, generate client credentials, and use the access token in your requests. Keep keys secure and rotate them regularly.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
