To access the Contacts API from Hostify, obtain an API token with the appropriate scope (contacts.readonly) and securely configure it in your integration settings. Follow security best practices for token storage and rotation.
Grant Hostify the necessary permissions to read and manage contact data via the GHL API. Use authorized credentials and store them securely to protect your data.
Available endpoints include 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, and write operations such as 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, and POST /contacts/:contactId/tags. These endpoints enable reading, creating, updating, and deleting contacts, tasks, notes, and tags as part of your Hostify workflow.
Trigger: When a contact is updated in Hostify, pull the latest data from the Contacts API (including tasks and notes) to keep records in sync.
Actions: Retrieve contact data, fetch related tasks and notes, and update Hostify records to reflect changes in real time.
Methods involved include GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch the contact, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks for tasks, and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes for notes, with PUT /contacts/:contactId to update the contact when needed.
Key fields: contactId, name, email, phone, status, taskId, noteId
Trigger: When a tag is added in Hostify, update the contact’s tags in the Contacts API and attach relevant notes as needed.
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/tags to add tags, and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes to pull related notes for context.
Methods: POST /contacts/:contactId/tags, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
Key fields: contactId, tag, noteId
Trigger: Creating a task in Hostify creates a corresponding task in the Contacts API; completing a task updates status accordingly.
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to create tasks, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed to mark tasks complete.
Methods: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed
Key fields: contactId, taskId, status
Automated data synchronization reduces manual data entry, minimizes errors, and ensures consistency across systems.
Real-time visibility into contacts, tasks, and notes enables faster decision-making and better team collaboration.
Scalable automation supports growing teams and more complex workflows without added manual effort.
This glossary covers essential terms used in the integration between Hostify and the Contacts API, including endpoints, authentication, and data objects.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to perform an action against the API, such as retrieving or updating data.
The process of proving identity to access the API, typically via tokens or OAuth credentials.
An individual or organization stored in the Contacts data set, including their details and related records.
A unique string used to authorize API requests and validate access permissions.
Automatically create contacts in Hostify when new leads appear in the Contacts API and enqueue follow-up tasks for your team.
Generate Hostify tasks from notes or changes in Contacts API to ensure timely follow-ups and consistent activity.
Consolidate contact activity from Tasks, Notes, and Appointments into Hostify for a single source of truth.
Obtain an access token with the contacts.readonly scope and add it securely to Hostify’s integration settings.
Select the endpoints you need (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) and map data fields between Hostify and the Contacts API.
Run test requests, review logs, fix mappings, and deploy the integration to production.
With the Contacts API, Hostify can read contact details, associated tasks, notes, and appointment data to keep your records synchronized. You can tailor the data you pull to fit your workflows and keep teams aligned. For sensitive actions, ensure proper permissions and least-privilege access. The read-only scope shown here helps protect data while enabling visibility across apps.
Basic setup requires some configuration in Hostify and familiarity with API concepts. Non-developers can use guided UI flows for token management and endpoint mapping, while developers can customize field mappings and event triggers. Clear instructions are provided for both scenarios to help you start quickly.
Essential endpoints typically include GET /contacts/:contactId to read a contact, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to view tasks, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to create tasks, and POST /contacts/:contactId/tags to tag a contact. Depending on your needs, you may also use notes, appointments, and update endpoints like PUT /contacts/:contactId.
Yes. You can create tasks from Hostify and have them reflected in the Contacts API by using POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks. You can also update task status with PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed to keep both systems in sync.
