Use your GHL API credentials (API key or OAuth token) to authorize requests to the Contacts API endpoints listed below.
In HirePOS, securely connect the Zapier app using OAuth or API keys, ensuring tokens are stored securely and rotated regularly.
– 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
Trigger: When a contact is selected in HirePOS, fetch the full contact profile from GET /contacts/:contactId to populate details.
Actions: Retrieve contact details, then optionally pull associated tasks, notes, and appointments via GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, /notes, and /contacts/:contactId/appointments.
GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId (required), read-only access scope, basic contact data (name, email, phone).
Trigger: When your HirePOS workflow needs a list, fetch via GET /contacts/ and optionally filter by business with GET /contacts/business/:businessId.
Actions: Retrieve arrays of contacts; use filters to select entries; supports paging if needed.
GET /contacts/
Key fields: contactId, businessId (optional), name, email (for display).
Trigger: When a contact is opened in HirePOS, pull related tasks, notes, and appointments with GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, /notes, and /contacts/:contactId/appointments.
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: contactId (required), taskId, noteId, appointmentId (for specific items).
Faster data access: pull contact data into HirePOS without writing any code.
Unified view: see tasks, notes, and appointments in one place per contact.
Automation-friendly: triggers and actions can be used in automations and workflows.
Definitions of terms used in this guide: GHL API, endpoint, contact, task, note, appointment, business, authentication, and tag.
The application programming interface from GHL that lets you read and manage contacts, tasks, notes, and more.
A unit of work linked to a contact, used to track follow-ups and progress.
A text entry attached to a contact for context and history.
A scheduled meeting or call linked to a contact.
Automatically fetch contact details from the Contacts API when a new contact is added in HirePOS and create a unified profile.
Pull tasks for a contact to trigger reminders in HirePOS, ensuring follow-ups are never missed.
Aggregate contacts’ tasks, notes, and appointments into a single activity feed within HirePOS for quick context.
Obtain and securely store GHL API credentials (API key or OAuth token) and connect the HirePOS app.
Add the necessary endpoints (GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, etc.) and map fields to HirePOS.
Run tests to verify data retrieval and mapping; deploy to production once successful.
No-code or low-code options are available to connect HirePOS with the Contacts API. You can set up the integration using pre-built connectors, or use an automation platform to map fields and trigger actions. This makes it possible to get started quickly without custom development. If you need advanced customization, you can still extend the integration with lightweight scripts or automation workflows as needed.
Yes. The standard endpoints listed are read-only in this setup (e.g., GET /contacts/:contactId). You can view and pull data such as contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments. If you require write capabilities, you would need higher permissions and proper scope authorization. For many workflows, read-only access is sufficient to surface information and automate reporting.
The endpoints provide access to contacts, their tasks, notes, and appointments. You can fetch a single contact with GET /contacts/:contactId, list all contacts with GET /contacts/, or drill into related items like tasks and notes. Additional endpoints allow filtering by business and accessing related data. Data mapping lets you bring in basic contact details, task names, and appointment times for a complete view.
Authentication is typically done with an API key or OAuth token issued by the GHL API. You’ll pass the token in your request headers to authorize access to endpoints. Keep tokens secure, rotate them regularly, and apply the principle of least privilege. If your setup uses HirePOS as the consumer, ensure the app connection stores credentials securely and only requests the scopes you need.
Yes. You can retrieve a list of all contacts using GET /contacts/. If you need to narrow down results, you can apply filters or use the business-scoped endpoint GET /contacts/business/:businessId. Pagination may be used for large result sets. This allows you to build broad views or targeted lists for campaigns and reporting.
You can access data scoped to a specific business using GET /contacts/business/:businessId. This helps you segment contacts by the organization they belong to and tailor workflows accordingly. Always ensure you have the appropriate authorization to view business-scoped data and respect data access policies.
Testing the integration involves validating authentication, endpoint responses, and data mapping. Start with a sandbox or test project, verify each endpoint returns expected fields, and confirm the data flows correctly into HirePOS. Once tests pass, gradually roll out to production and monitor for any errors or data mismatches.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
