To access the Contacts API, your Hunter app must authenticate with GHL using the OAuth credentials or API key with the scope: contacts.readonly. Always request the minimum needed permissions and store tokens securely.
In Hunter, configure the connection by selecting the Contacts API (GHL) and providing your OAuth client credentials or API key. Test the connection with a simple read request to ensure access is working before enabling full automation.
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: when a contact is created or updated in Hunter, create an initial task in the Contacts API.
Actions: ensure the contact exists in GHL, then create a related task (and optionally attach a note).
POST /contacts/ (create contact) and POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks (create task)
contactId, taskId, email, name, dueDate
Trigger: when a new note is added to a contact in the Contacts API, push the note into Hunter as a corresponding note.
Actions: create or update notes in Hunter with mappings for note content and timestamp.
POST /contacts/:contactId/notes
contactId, id, note, createdAt
Trigger: when a task is completed in Hunter, update the corresponding task in the Contacts API to mark it as completed.
Actions: update task status in the Contacts API, set completed flag, and log completion in Hunter.
PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed
contactId, taskId, status, completedAt
Fast setup with visual workflows that require no coding.
Guaranteed data flow between Hunter and the Contacts API with automatic retries and logging.
Clear audit trails, error notifications, and rollback options for robust automation.
This section defines core elements: endpoints, triggers, actions, field mappings, and authentication methods. Review the glossary below for quick references.
A person record in the Contacts API, including basic profile fields and related data such as tasks, notes, and appointments.
A text entry attached to a contact to capture communication or context.
A to-do item linked to a contact, used to track activities and status.
A specific URL path and HTTP method used to interact with the GHL API.
When a new contact is added in Hunter, automatically create or update the corresponding contact in the GHL Contacts API and assign an initial task.
Capture notes in GHL when Hunter records interactions, then surface those notes in Hunter for context.
Automatically advance task status in GHL from Hunter outcomes to keep both systems in sync.
Connect Hunter to the Contacts API by selecting the GHL account, granting required permissions, and setting the scope to contacts.readonly. Validate the connection with a test call.
Define mappings for contact, task, note, and appointment fields. Create triggers for new or updated records to drive automated workflows.
Run end-to-end tests using sample data, confirm data integrity, and deploy the integration to production.
No-code is a core benefit of this integration. You can set up triggers, actions, and field mappings using a visual editor in Hunter. The workflow builder handles API calls to the Contacts API behind the scenes. If you encounter an issue, you can test each step individually to validate data flow. Additionally, ensure your app has the correct scope (readonly) and that your credentials are kept secure in your vault.
The primary endpoints include retrieving contacts, their tasks, notes, and appointments, plus creating and updating contacts and tasks. You can also fetch business-scoped contact data. Use the ENDPOINTLIST to review specific methods and paths and map them to your Hunter steps.
Start by checking authentication status and ensuring the access token is valid. Review recent activity and any error messages in Hunter’s logs. If a sync fails for a specific contact, inspect the relevant endpoint response for missing fields, permission errors, or rate limits, then re-run the integration.
Read operations pull contact records, their tasks, notes, and appointments. Depending on the integration, you may also fetch business associations. The data fields typically include identifiers, names, emails, and timestamps for tracking changes.
Yes. You can write back to GHL to update contacts, create tasks, or add notes, subject to the assigned permissions. Map fields carefully to ensure the target records reflect the source data accurately.
Credentials are stored securely via OAuth or API keys, with access scoped to the minimum necessary permissions. Rotate tokens regularly and use secure vaults. Hunter should log all connection activities and alert you to unusual events.
Logs are accessible within Hunter’s diagnostics panel. You can filter by endpoint, status, and timestamp, export details for troubleshooting, and replay failed calls in a controlled test environment.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
