To access the Contacts API, obtain an API key or OAuth token from your GHL account and include it in your requests.
Authorize Height to access your Contacts API data by configuring your app credentials and selecting the required scopes.
GET /contacts/:contactId; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id; GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments; GET /contacts/; GET /contacts/business/:businessId; A) contacts.write; POST /contacts/; PUT /contacts/:contactId; DELETE /contacts/:contactId; POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed; DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
Trigger: When a new contact is created or updated in Contacts API, Height fetches core fields and related tasks/notes.
Actions: Pull contact data, create or update a Height record, create or update tasks and notes.
GET /contacts/:contactId; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
contactId, tasks, notes
Trigger: updates to a contact in Height propagate to Contacts API.
Actions: PUT /contacts/:contactId to sync changes; GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments to pull scheduling data.
PUT /contacts/:contactId; GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments
contactId, appointments, updatedFields
Trigger: tag changes in Height cause tag updates in Contacts API.
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/tags to apply tags; update mapping in Height.
POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
contactId, tags
Automate data syncing between Height and Contacts API without writing code.
Ship features faster with ready-made triggers, actions, and mappings.

Key elements you will map include contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments; processes describe how data flows between GHL and Height.
A URL path and HTTP method that allows access to a specific resource in the GHL Contacts API.
A person in your CRM with related tasks, notes, and appointments.
The process of proving identity to access the GHL API, typically via API keys or OAuth tokens.
A label applied to a contact for segmentation and automation.
Automatically create contacts in Contacts API when a new contact signs up in Height, with initial tasks and notes.
Sync tasks and appointments to a centralized Activity feed in Height.
Use tags to drive automated sequences between Contacts API and Height.
Obtain API credentials for GHL and configure Height app to use them.
Map each endpoint to Height actions and define field mappings.
Run tests, verify data sync, and deploy to production.
The Contacts API and Height integration let you automate the flow of contact data, tasks, notes, and appointments without coding. You can use triggers to start workflows when a contact is created or updated, and then perform actions like creating tasks or updating notes in Height. This keeps data synchronized across systems and reduces manual data entry. Start by authenticating with your GHL API credentials and configuring the Height app with the appropriate scopes. From there, map fields between the systems and choose which endpoints to enable for your workflows.
No-code automation is possible through the Zapier App Connector and pre-built actions. You don’t need to write custom code to connect the Contacts API to Height; you configure triggers, actions, and mappings in a visual interface. This makes it faster to set up, test, and iterate your integrations. If you run into limitations, you can expand functionality with additional endpoints or switch to a low-code approach for more complex logic.
Key endpoints include retrieving a contact, their tasks, notes, and appointments, as well as creating or updating contacts and related items. Start with GET /contacts/:contactId to pull a contact, then explore GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes for related data. For write operations, use POST /contacts/ and PUT /contacts/:contactId to create or update records, and manage tasks with PUT/POST and DELETE as needed.
Best practices include consistent field mapping, using clear tag schemes, and designing idempotent actions to avoid duplicates. Test edge cases such as missing fields and null values, and implement retry logic for transient errors. Document mappings and error handling so future changes remain maintainable and auditable.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
