To begin, generate an API key in GHL with the scope set to contacts.readonly and grant HeyGen access to your Contacts data.
Approve HeyGen to access your Contacts data within GHL. The app will read your contacts and related data and can perform updates only if your chosen scope allows it.
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 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: A new or updated contact in GHL prompts HeyGen to fetch the latest details.
Actions: Retrieve contact data with GET /contacts/:contactId and pull related data via GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes.
GET /contacts/:contactId (plus sub-resources: tasks, notes)
contactId, firstName, lastName, email, phone
Trigger: New lead in HeyGen or updated contact in HeyGen triggers sync to GHL.
Actions: Create or update a contact with POST /contacts/; update tasks with PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; create tasks with POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks.
POST /contacts/; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
contactId, email, taskId, status
Trigger: Tag updates in GHL reflect in HeyGen for segmentation and automation.
Actions: Apply tags with POST /contacts/:contactId/tags and manage tag-driven workflows.
POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
contactId, tags
Faster time-to-value with no-code automation between GHL and HeyGen.
Personalized outreach using real-time contact data in HeyGen videos increases engagement.
Centralized data provides consistent fields and streamlined workflows across systems.
This section defines the core elements: contacts, endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, and data mapping between GHL and HeyGen.
A person stored in GHL with core details (name, email, phone) and related data like tasks, notes, and tags.
A specific URL path that exposes a function of the GHL Contacts API, such as GET /contacts/:contactId.
A secure method to authorize a connector to access GHL data, using an API key or OAuth token.
A callback URL that notifies HeyGen of events in GHL (or vice versa) in real time.
Use contact fields to tailor HeyGen video messages dynamically, improving response rates.
Create a workflow that creates a contact in HeyGen when a new contact is added in GHL and starts a welcome video sequence.
Push HeyGen task reminders to contacts based on task due dates from GHL.
Generate an API key in GHL, grant the correct scope, and verify a test call via HeyGen.
Create a data map for contact fields, tasks, notes, and tags to ensure clean data transfer.
Set up HeyGen workflows that trigger on GHL events and run tests before going live.
Yes. You’ll need access to a GHL account and API keys with at least read access to contacts. This lets HeyGen read contact data to personalize outreach. If your workflow requires updates, grant write permissions where appropriate. Always start in a test or sandbox environment before going live. Regularly rotate keys and monitor usage.
Yes, with the proper scope. HeyGen can create or update contacts and related items in GHL via endpoints like POST /contacts/ and PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks. Use write-enabled keys carefully and implement error handling to prevent data drift.
We support API key-based auth and OAuth where available. API keys are convenient for service-to-service integrations, while OAuth offers user-scoped access control. Choose the method that fits your security requirements and rotate credentials regularly.
Common endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts/, and POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks. The exact set depends on your workflow needs. Use the Endpoint Overview to review available calls and pick only what your integration requires.
Implement retry logic with exponential backoff and handle 429 and 5xx responses gracefully. Use idempotent requests where possible (e.g., POST with unique identifiers) to avoid duplicate records, and log errors for troubleshooting.
Yes. API rate limits vary by plan. When approaching limits, slow down requests, batch operations where supported, and consider queuing mechanisms. If you hit the limit, implement backoff and retry after the recommended interval.
API keys are created in GHL under the developer or API settings. Scopes define what the key can do (read vs. write). Keep keys secure, don’t share them, and regenerate if a leak is suspected.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
