Requests to the Contacts API require a valid token or API key issued by your GHL account to authorize data calls securely.
Hexfit connects to the Contacts API using secure OAuth 2.0 or API keys, ensuring each request is authorized and auditable.
Key endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId, DELETE /contacts/:contactId, and others for notes, tasks, and tags.
Trigger: when a contact is created or updated in Hexfit, sync changes to the Contacts API.
Actions: create or update a contact, attach notes or tasks as needed, and log changes in Hexfit.
Method/Path example: GET /contacts/:contactId or POST /contacts/ to add a new contact
Key fields to map: contactId, email, name, phone, tags
Trigger: a new or updated contact in the Contacts API fires a Zap to Hexfit
Actions: search, create, update contacts in Contacts API and push results into Hexfit
Method/Path examples: POST /contacts/ to create, PUT /contacts/:contactId to update
Fields: email, fullName, externalId
Trigger: server webhook events from the Contacts API notify Hexfit of changes
Actions: update Hexfit records in response to events and trigger downstream automations
Method/Path: POST /webhooks/contacts to receive events
Fields: eventType, payload

Run tests, review logs, and enable automation in production
No coding is required thanks to the built‑in connectors and automation templates; you can set up a basic sync using a visual workflow. If you prefer, you can also connect via a Zapier workflow to trigger actions without writing code.
Essential endpoints for a basic sync include GET /contacts/:contactId to retrieve contacts, POST /contacts/ to create, PUT /contacts/:contactId to update, and DELETE /contacts/:contactId to remove records. Notes, tasks, and tags endpoints unlock richer synchronization.
Authentication uses API keys or OAuth tokens issued by GHL for the Contacts API and secure methods in Hexfit; store tokens securely and rotate them regularly.
Yes. You can leverage Zapier or webhooks to automate data flow between Hexfit and the Contacts API without writing code; configure trigger, action, and mapping steps to fit your workflow.
Common mappings include name, email, phone, tags, notes, and related tasks; ensure IDs align so updates target the correct contact.
Test using sandbox accounts or test environments, review request/response payloads, and monitor error logs to validate the integration before enabling production syncs.
Refer to the API documentation for rate limits, retry policies, and structured error messages; design your workflow to respect limits and handle failures gracefully.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
