Learn how to securely authenticate calls to the Contacts API when connecting through GHL, including API keys and OAuth tokens.
Configure Hive-co app credentials and tokens to establish a trusted connection with the Contacts API.
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, 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 when a new contact is created in Hive-co to create and sync the contact in the Contacts API and attach initial tasks.
Actions: create or update contact, create initial tasks via POST /contacts/ and POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks.
Methods: POST /contacts/ to create, PUT /contacts/:contactId to update, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to add tasks.
Key fields: contactId, name, email, phone, tasks, notes
Trigger: when a contact is updated in Hive-co, push changes to the Contacts API
Actions: PUT /contacts/:contactId, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed
Methods: PUT /contacts/:contactId, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed
Key fields: contactId, taskId, status, dueDate
Trigger: notes or appointments created or updated in Hive-co or the Contacts API cause sync events
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/notes, GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments
Methods: POST /contacts/:contactId/notes, GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments
Key fields: contactId, noteId, appointmentId
Faster onboarding and reduced manual data entry through automated syncing.
Centralized data flow in GHL with Hive-co triggers for consistent records.
Automatic task and note synchronization across platforms.
Key elements and processes include endpoints, authentication, data fields, and event triggers used to build the integration.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to interact with the GHL Contacts API.
Authorization framework that grants access tokens to call APIs securely.
A unique identifier for a contact in the Contacts API.
A URL that receives real time event notifications from the API.
Pull public data from Hive-co and enrich leads in the Contacts API to improve targeting and speed up qualification.
Create triggers that auto generate tasks and notes when a new contact enters Hive-co.
Automatically schedule appointments and log interactions in the Contacts API based on Hive-co activity.
Obtain your API credentials or OAuth tokens and verify them in the app settings.
Add required endpoint mappings for contacts, tasks and notes using the 17 available endpoints.
Run tests, simulate create update flows and monitor data sync.
Answer: The Contacts API supports a range of endpoints for contacts, tasks and notes, enabling you to pull details and push updates from Hive-co. You can map core fields like name, email and phone, and extend functionality with tasks and notes to keep every interaction in sync. Use the authentication guidance to obtain a token and test each flow in a sandbox environment. Ensure your triggers handle idempotency to avoid duplicate records.
Answer: Start with API keys or OAuth tokens issued from your GHL account and Hive-co app. Store tokens securely and rotate them regularly. Use scope restrictions to limit access to the Contacts API and implement token refresh logic. Follow best practices for securing webhooks and validating payloads on each call.
Answer: Yes. You can configure bidirectional sync for notes and appointments where supported. Use endpoints to POST notes and GET appointments from the Contacts API, and mirror changes back to Hive-co. Implement conflict resolution rules to determine which system is the source of truth when data differs.
Answer: No heavy coding is required. The integration is designed for no code or low code setups using endpoint mappings, triggers and actions. You may need light scripting if you want custom field transformations or complex conditionals, but core sync can be achieved through the UI and prebuilt endpoints.
Answer: Use a dedicated sandbox or staging environment. Run end-to-end tests for create, update and delete flows, review webhook deliveries, and verify that records in Hive-co reflect correctly in the Contacts API. Validate error handling and retries before going live.
Answer: Rate limits are specified in the API docs for both Hive-co and the Contacts API. Plan for bursts using queueing and backoff strategies. Monitor quota usage and set up alerting to detect nearing limits before requests fail.
Answer: Implement retries with exponential backoff, log errors, and surface clear messages in dashboards. Use idempotent operations where possible and maintain a robust retry policy to handle transient network issues or partial failures.
