To use the GHL Contacts API with Hiver, obtain an API key or OAuth token and configure the required scopes (such as contacts.readonly) to permit access to contact data, tasks, notes, and tags.
Hiver uses its own API tokens to authorize requests. Ensure the token has access to contacts, tasks, notes, and tag endpoints, and keep credentials secure.
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 contact is created or updated in Contacts API, then push the changes to Hiver to keep both systems aligned.
Actions include creating or updating the contact in Hiver, and optionally linking related tasks or notes to the profile.
GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch the core profile fields (name, email, phone, and IDs).
id, name, email, phone, tags
Trigger when a contact’s tasks or notes are created or updated to reflect status changes in Hiver.
Actions: create, update, or complete tasks; create notes; associate them with the contact.
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
taskId, noteId, title, status, dueDate
Trigger when tags are added or removed on a contact to propagate the change to the other system.
POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
tags, tagNames
Faster onboarding with ready-to-use workflows that require no coding.
Automated data synchronization reduces manual data entry and errors.
A unified view of contacts, tasks, notes, and tags in one place for better collaboration.
This glossary explains the core elements, data flows, and processes used in the GHL Contacts API and Hiver integration.
A person in your CRM whose data is synchronized between GHL and Hiver.
A unit of work linked to a contact, used to track activity in both systems.
A comment or information attached to a contact to capture context or history.
Metadata applied to a contact for grouping, segmentation, or workflow logic.
Automatically create a GHL contact when a new Hiver contact is added, then sync related tasks and notes to ensure a complete, up-to-date profile.
Use tags to segment contacts and propagate tag-based segments to both systems for targeted automation.
Keep tasks in sync with status updates across GHL and Hiver to prevent duplicate work and ensure visibility.
Obtain an API key for Contacts API and an access token for Hiver, then configure required scopes for contacts, tasks, notes, and tags.
Set up OAuth or token-based authentication in both apps and verify a basic GET call to confirm connectivity.
Build a simple automation that reads a contact from GHL and writes or updates the corresponding Hiver contact, including related tasks and notes.
No coding is required for a basic integration. The GHL Contacts API and Hiver provide REST endpoints you can connect with via no-code automation tools or your preferred integration platform. Start with authentication and a simple GET call to verify connectivity, then progressively add write actions for contacts, tasks, notes, and tags. This approach keeps setup fast and approachable while still scalable.
For the initial sync, you’ll typically enable the GET endpoints to fetch contacts, and the associated tasks, notes, and tags. Start with GET /contacts/:contactId and expand to related endpoints (tasks, notes) to build a complete profile. Use POST, PUT, and DELETE endpoints as you add write capability (creating and updating records).
Yes. Bi-directional sync is possible, but it requires conflict resolution rules (which system’s data wins on conflict) and clear field mappings. Start with a unidirectional flow (read from GHL into Hiver) to validate data quality, then enable reciprocal updates with safeguards.
To handle conflicts, implement timestamp-based or source-of-truth logic. Decide which system owns the authoritative value for each field (for example, notes or tags) and implement automated rules to resolve discrepancies, reducing manual review.
By default, core contact fields (id, name, email, phone) along with basic related data (tags, tasks, notes) are typically synced. You can extend mappings to include custom fields as needed by your workflow and the capabilities of each endpoint.
API rate limits depend on your plan. Plan for bursts during initial sync and implement exponential backoff for retries. If you anticipate high volume, consider staggering syncs or using delta updates to minimize calls.
API documentation is available within the GHL developer docs and Hiver’s API reference. Start with authentication and endpoint definitions (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) and then review example payloads to structure your requests.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
