To access the Contacts API, your integration must request the scope ‘contacts.readonly’. Use OAuth 2.0 or an API key depending on your setup, and keep credentials secure.
Authorize JobAdder to access your GHL Contacts API data by granting the necessary scopes and generating a secure access token. Store the token securely and rotate it regularly.
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: A new or updated contact is created in JobAdder, initiating a sync to GHL.
Actions: Map core fields (name, email, phone, company) and create or update the corresponding contact in GHL.
Method path: Use POST /contacts/ to create when needed and PUT /contacts/:contactId for updates.
Key fields: contactId, email, name, phone.
Trigger: Changes in either system trigger a sync to keep records aligned.
Actions: Update records in both systems with mapped fields and conflict resolution rules.
Method path: Use PUT /contacts/:contactId for updates and POST /contacts/ for creates in both directions as needed.
Key fields: contactId, updatedAt, email.
Trigger: A task or note is created in one system, prompting a mirror in the other.
Actions: Create corresponding tasks and notes in the opposite system and link to the contact.
Methods: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, POST /contacts/:contactId/notes for creation.
Fields: taskId, noteId, content, dueDate.

Sync notes and activity history to maintain a complete contact timeline across both systems.
Create an API client, request the necessary scopes (e.g., contacts.readonly), and authorize the connection.
Map core fields (name, email, phone, company) between JobAdder and GHL to ensure accurate syncs.
Run test syncs, review logs, adjust mappings as needed, then enable automation for production.
The integration synchronizes core contact data such as name, email, phone, and company between JobAdder and the Contacts API. This ensures your teams have up-to-date information in both systems. You can extend the mapping to include custom fields as needed. The sync can be configured to run on a schedule or in real-time based on triggers.
No-code setup is supported through intuitive mapping interfaces and automation rules. If your needs require custom logic, you can augment the workflow with scripting or webhooks. This lets you handle complex transformations without writing server code.
For a basic sync, use POST /contacts/ to create new records and PUT /contacts/:contactId to update existing ones. Read endpoints like GET /contacts/:contactId provide data for field mapping and validation. You can gradually expand to tasks and notes endpoints as your workflow grows.
All data transfers use HTTPS with OAuth access tokens. Tokens should be rotated regularly and assigned with least-privilege scopes to minimize risk.
Field mappings let you align GHL fields with JobAdder fields, and you can save these mappings for reuse. This ensures consistency across records and reduces setup time for future contacts.
If a sync fails, check the integration logs, verify token validity, and confirm endpoint accessibility. Enable debugging to capture detailed error messages and adjust mappings or field types accordingly.
The API enforces rate limits. Plan your syncs with batching where possible and implement backoff retries to handle temporary throttling without disrupting business operations.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
