Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Contacts API?

The Contacts API is a GHL API that exposes endpoints to read and manage contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments for HelloLeads integrations. It enables programmatic access to contact records and related activities so workflows can be automated. You can pull data into HelloLeads, push updates, and trigger automations using standard HTTP requests.

No-code workflow builders and connectors can cover most common use cases, letting you automate without custom code. For advanced logic, you can add custom webhooks or lightweight scripting to tailor behavior to your business rules.

Endpoints cover reading, creating, updating, and deleting contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments. You will typically use GET for retrieval, POST for creation, PUT for updates, and DELETE for removals. See the endpoint list above for exact paths.

Most quick setups take only a few minutes with a ready‑to‑use template. More complex automations and testing can take longer, depending on data volume and verification needs.

The primary scope shown is contacts.readonly. For write operations you may need contacts.write and the appropriate authorization on your app. Always follow least-privilege principles.

Common errors include invalid tokens, expired scopes, or missing required fields. Use token refresh, re-authenticate, and validate payload formats. Detailed error messages guide you to the exact issue.

Yes. You can sync notes and tasks between HelloLeads and the Contacts API using webhooks and endpoint calls. Build pipelines that keep activity in sync and provide a complete history.
