Authenticate with OAuth 2.0 and obtain a Bearer token. Use the token in Authorization headers for each request and scope your access to contacts.readonly to start.
HigherGov authenticates to the GHL Contacts API via OAuth 2.0 client credentials. Register your app, obtain client id/secret, and request the contacts.readonly scope for initial access.

Drag-and-drop automations in HigherGov without writing code, connecting contacts, notes, and tasks from GHL.
Real-time data sync via webhooks so records stay up to date across systems.
A unified customer history view that ensures consistent communications and activity tracking.
A quick glossary of the core elements, endpoints, triggers, and actions used in this integration.
An authorization framework that enables secure, delegated access to APIs without sharing user credentials.
A token included in the Authorization header that proves access rights to a resource.
A specific URL path in an API that performs a defined function, such as /contacts/:contactId.
A callback mechanism where the provider pushes updates to your app when data changes.
Build a single timeline in HigherGov showing all activity from GHL—notes, tasks, and appointments—for each contact.
Automatically generate follow-up tasks in HigherGov when GHL tasks are completed or nearing due dates.
Tag and segment contacts in HigherGov based on GHL activity to trigger targeted campaigns.
Obtain OAuth tokens and set scopes for contacts.readonly to begin.
Select endpoints for fetching contacts, notes, tasks, and appointments to match your workflow.
Create HigherGov workflows to respond to GHL events and keep data aligned.
The Contacts API lets you retrieve and manage contact data from GHL. HigherGov can use these endpoints to pull in contact details and push updates back to your CRM environment. This integration enables a unified view of customer activity across platforms. For a first run, start with read-only access to validate data flow.
OAuth 2.0 with Bearer tokens is the recommended approach. You’ll obtain an access token via the client credentials flow and include it in the Authorization header. If you need broader access, request additional scopes as your use case evolves.
The available endpoints include retrieving contacts, their tasks and notes, appointments, and the ability to create or update contacts and tasks. The list can be tailored to your workflow by selecting the endpoints that matter most to HigherGov.
Yes. HigherGov can upsert contacts using POST and PUT requests. You can drive automation by triggering events in GHL and pushing changes to HigherGov in near real-time.
No heavy coding is required if you use the provided endpoints and your automation platform. Basic API call setup and OAuth configuration suffice to get started. Complex use cases can be iterated gradually.
Notes and tasks can be synchronized by setting triggers on GHL events and mapping those changes to HigherGov records. This ensures task statuses, due dates, and notes reflect consistently across systems.
Webhooks notify your app of changes in GHL data. When a subscribed event occurs, the webhook delivers a payload that you can use to update HigherGov accordingly. You can customize which events to listen for to optimize freshness and cost.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
