Obtain GHL API credentials and grant your inFlow Inventory app the contacts.readonly scope. Use OAuth 2.0 or API keys as supported by the GHL platform, then configure the connection in your Zapier App Connector.
Authorize inFlow Inventory to access GHL Contacts data within the approved scope, and securely store the credentials to enable reliable syncing of contacts, tasks, and notes.
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: a contact is created or updated in GHL, then the change is pushed to inFlow Inventory.
Actions: create or update the corresponding contact in inFlow Inventory; attach related tasks and notes as needed.
GET /contacts/:contactId
id, name, email, phone, company
Trigger: a task is created or updated for a contact in GHL, resulting in a corresponding task in inFlow Inventory.
Actions: sync tasks under the related contact in inFlow; update status and due dates.
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
taskId, status, dueDate, description
Trigger: a note is added or updated for a contact in GHL, then mirrored in inFlow Inventory.
Actions: create or update notes in inFlow and link them to the correct contact.
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
noteId, content, createdAt
Automate routine data flows without writing a line of code, saving time and reducing errors.
Keep contact data in sync across systems, improving accuracy for sales, support, and operations.
Leverage ready-made endpoints to accelerate onboarding and reporting.
Key elements include endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, and sample flows that help you design reliable integrations between GHL Contacts API and inFlow Inventory.
Application Programming Interface that enables software to communicate and exchange data between GHL and inFlow Inventory.
A specific URL and method in the API used to access or modify a resource such as a contact or task.
The process of proving identity to gain access to the GHL API and the inFlow Inventory integration, typically via OAuth or API keys.
A method for real-time updates from GHL to inFlow Inventory or vice versa, often used with triggers.
Detect duplicate records as they enter GHL and unify them in inFlow Inventory to keep customer data clean.
Automatically create follow-up tasks in inFlow when a contact-related event happens in GHL to boost response times.
Attach GHL notes to inFlow customer records to provide sales with richer context.
Generate an API key in GHL with the contacts.readonly scope and securely store it.
Add the endpoint calls you need (GET /contacts, POST /contacts, etc.) and map fields to inFlow.
Run end-to-end tests, verify data, and enable ongoing syncing.
The GHL Contacts API exposes endpoints to read contact info, notes, tasks, and more. With the readonly scope, you can pull contact records into inFlow Inventory and keep timelines up to date. If you need write access, upgrade the scope accordingly. For best results, set up a dedicated integration user and test in a staging environment before going live.
No heavy coding is required. Use the Zapier App Connector to map fields between GHL and inFlow and configure triggers and actions. If you need more complex logic, simple scripts or conditional steps can be added inside your workflow. Start with a basic read-only flow and iterate as you gain confidence.
The typical required scope is contacts.readonly to start, with potential upgrades to write access for full bi-directional flows. Authentication is handled via API keys or OAuth depending on your setup. Always restrict credentials to the minimum necessary permissions and rotate keys regularly.
Yes. When configured correctly, changes in GHL can be mirrored in inFlow and vice versa, using triggers and corresponding actions. Test carefully to ensure data is not overwritten unintentionally. Consider adding a review step for critical data before enabling full bidirectional syncing.
Respect API rate limits by pacing requests and using batching where possible. Implement retry logic with exponential backoff and log errors for troubleshooting. Monitor quota usage in both platforms to prevent interruptions. Enable alerting for failures to keep the integration healthy.
Essentials include reading contacts (GET /contacts/:contactId), listing a contact’s tasks (GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks), and creating/updating tasks (POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks). These endpoints enable a solid core flow for contact management and task tracking. Add notes (GET /contacts/:contactId/notes) and a basic contact creation path (POST /contacts/) as needed.
Refer to the integration docs and example flows in the Zapier App Connector. Look for step-by-step walk-throughs, field mappings, and sample payloads. Community forums and product support can provide additional templates. You can also request tailored examples for your exact data model and business rules.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
