Authenticate with OAuth 2.0 and request the scope: contacts.readonly to fetch contact data. Store tokens securely and refresh them before expiry.
HoneyBook must authorize access to your GHL app. Ensure the app is granted read permissions to contacts and related resources for safe data flow.
– 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: New or updated HoneyBook contact creates or updates a matching contact in GHL (POST/PUT to /contacts/:contactId).
Actions: Map fields like name, email, phone; attach tasks, notes, and tags as needed.
Method paths: POST /contacts/ to create; PUT /contacts/:contactId to update; GET /contacts/:contactId to read.
Key fields: id, email, firstName, lastName, phone, company.
Trigger: Changes in HoneyBook or GHL propagate to the other system.
Actions: Push contact edits from HoneyBook to GHL and update related tasks and notes accordingly.
Method Path: PUT /contacts/:contactId; POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; POST /contacts/:contactId/notes.
Key fields: id, externalId, email.
Trigger: A new task or note is created in HoneyBook.
Actions: Create or update corresponding tasks and notes in GHL; reflect status changes.
Method Path: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; POST /contacts/:contactId/notes.
Key fields: contactId, taskId, noteId.
Fast setup with no coding required thanks to the Zapier App Connector.
Real-time data sync between HoneyBook and the GHL Contacts API for up-to-date records.
Automated workflows: triggers, actions, and data mapping to save time.
This section defines endpoints, triggers, actions, authentication, and data flow for the HoneyBook + GHL setup.
OAuth 2.0 is the standard framework used to grant scoped access to GHL APIs without sharing user passwords.
APIs enforce rate limits per minute/hour; design retries with exponential backoff.
Webhooks deliver real-time events for changes in HoneyBook and GHL.
Defined paths you call to read or write data via the API.
Automatically enrich GHL contact records with notes and history from HoneyBook during sync.
Apply and sync tags in GHL when HoneyBook contact lifecycle stages change.
Generate daily or weekly reports combining data from HoneyBook and the GHL Contacts API.
Register your app in GHL, obtain client ID and secret, and set HoneyBook as the redirect URL.
Request scope includes contacts.readonly and map HoneyBook endpoints to GHL API routes.
Test in a sandbox, verify data flow, and monitor errors before going live.
Authenticate using OAuth 2.0 with the GHL API and request the contacts.readonly scope to read contact data from HoneyBook. Store tokens securely and refresh as needed. Review the app’s permissions in the GHL dashboard and ensure redirection URIs are configured correctly.
The endpoints include reading contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments (GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, etc.). Use POST to create, PUT to update, and DELETE to remove as required, mapping HoneyBook fields to GHL contact fields.
Yes. You can read and write contacts via the API when you have the correct scopes. Schedule updates and ensure data consistency by implementing proper field mappings and id sync.
Required permissions include read access to contacts (and related resources) and write permissions if you need to create or update records. Always adhere to least-privilege principles and secure token storage.
APIs enforce rate limits; implement retries with backoff and exponential backoff. Space requests to respect quotas and monitor rate limit headers to avoid throttling.
Use a sandbox environment to test triggers and actions without impacting live data. Validate mappings, error handling, and logs before going live.
Endpoint examples and samples are available in the GHL developer docs and the HoneyBook integration guide. Start with the basic GET and POST examples and expand to update flows.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
