Requests to the Contacts API require a valid access token with the appropriate scope. Generate tokens in the GHL developer portal and include them in your API calls.
Authenticate your Hatch app with your app credentials to authorize API calls. Store tokens securely and rotate them regularly.

Trigger: When a business is updated, pull related contacts with GET /contacts/ and GET /contacts/business/:businessId.
Actions: GET /contacts/; GET /contacts/business/:businessId; GET /contacts/:contactId; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
GET /contacts/; GET /contacts/business/:businessId; GET /contacts/:contactId; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
businessId, contactId
Trigger: Task creation or status changes in GHL reflect in Hatch tasks.
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed; DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed; DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId

Automate data sync across apps without writing custom code.
Keep contacts, tasks, and notes up-to-date in real time.
Accelerate onboarding with ready-made workflows and templates.
This section defines common terms, data objects, and processes used when integrating the GHL Contacts API with Hatch.
An application programming interface that lets software apps communicate with each other securely and reliably.
The process of verifying identity before granting access to an API.
A specific URL path in an API that performs a defined operation.
A person record stored in the Contacts API, including fields like name, email, and phone.
Create a new contact via POST /contacts/ and automatically generate initial tasks and notes in Hatch.
Sync contact data, notes, and appointments to a central Hatch workspace for a single source of truth.
Use triggers to refresh Hatch data as GHL records change, keeping all workflows current.
Create a GHL API key or OAuth token and note the access scopes (readonly or write).
Add the token to Hatch, map endpoints for contacts, tasks, notes, and business data.
Run a test flow to fetch a contact, create a task, and verify data sync across apps.
You will need an access token with the appropriate scopes. Use OAuth 2.0 flow or API keys as configured in the GHL developer portal. Include the token in your Hatch requests. Securely store tokens and rotate them regularly.
Key endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, POST /contacts/, GET /contacts/business/:businessId, and GET /contacts/. For updates, use PUT and POST variants as needed to keep data in sync.
No-code options are available in Hatch for common flows, but some advanced custom mappings may require basic API understanding. You can usually build powerful automations with templates and visual flows.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan and token scopes. Hatch will handle retries and backoffs to ensure reliable synchronization without overwhelming the API.
Yes. You can create, update, or mark tasks as completed using endpoints such as POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, and PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed.
Yes. You can access business-related endpoints like GET /contacts/ and GET /contacts/business/:businessId to sync and manage data at the business level.
API credentials and endpoint details are found in the GHL developer portal. Keep credentials secure, document your mappings, and refer to the endpoint list above for supported operations.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
