Authorize requests with OAuth 2.0 tokens. After you create a GHL developer app and grant the Contacts API scope, JobTread uses Bearer tokens in the Authorization header to access data.
JobTread uses OAuth 2.0 for secure access and supports API key flows for server to server. Ensure the app has the Contacts API scope and proper redirect URIs for token exchange.
Core endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, and related endpoints for notes, appointments, and tags. This provides read and write access to contacts, their tasks, notes, and meetings.
Trigger: a new contact is created or updated in JobTread, then the Contacts API is updated via PUT /contacts/:contactId or POST /contacts/
Actions: create or update contact in Contacts API; assign tags and notes via related endpoints; ensure idempotent operations.
Methods and paths: POST /contacts/ to create, GET /contacts/:contactId to read, PUT /contacts/:contactId to update, GET /contacts/ to list, plus PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId for tasks as needed.
Key fields: contactId, email, firstName, lastName, phone, status
Trigger: when a task is created or updated in JobTread, mirror or update the corresponding task in the Contacts API using POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, and PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed
Actions: create and update tasks, mark complete, and keep status in sync across both systems
Methods/Paths: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: taskId, contactId, title, dueDate, status, completed
Trigger: new notes or meeting summaries in JobTread get pushed to the Contacts API via POST /contacts/:contactId/notes
Methods/Paths: POST /contacts/:contactId/notes; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id
Key fields: noteId, contactId, content, createdAt
Rapid setup: begin syncing data with clicks, no server code required
Unified data: a single source of truth across JobTread and the Contacts API
Scalable automation: extend easily with more endpoints and triggers
This glossary defines common data elements and processes used in the JobTread to Contacts API integration, mapping fields and workflows across endpoints.
API: a set of endpoints that let JobTread read and update contact data in the Contacts API.
OAuth 2.0: a secure authorization framework used to obtain access tokens for API requests.
Endpoint: a specific URL path for an API action, such as GET /contacts/:contactId.
Webhook: a URL that receives real-time notifications about changes to contacts, tasks, or notes.
Capture new leads in JobTread and automatically create or update the corresponding contact in the Contacts API to trigger follow up.
Sync tasks between JobTread and Contacts API so statuses, due dates, and completions stay in sync.
Attach meeting notes from JobTread to the Contacts API for richer context per contact.
Create a GHL developer app, request the Contacts API scope (contacts.readonly), and obtain client credentials to begin the OAuth flow.
Define how JobTread reads and writes data via endpoints like GET /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts/, and POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks along with trigger mappings.
Test in a sandbox, validate data mappings and error handling, then go live with monitoring.
The Contacts API lets JobTread read and update contact data in the CRM. You can pull contact details, notes, tasks, and meetings to build a complete view of each client. Use endpoints like GET /contacts/:contactId and PUT /contacts/:contactId to keep records accurate.
Authentication uses OAuth 2.0. You will obtain a client ID and secret, exchange authorization codes for access tokens, and refresh tokens as needed. Each API request must include an Authorization header with a Bearer token.
Endpoints cover contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments. Use GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch, POST /contacts/ to create, and the tasks and notes endpoints to manage related items. See the endpoint list for full details.
Yes, you can sync notes and tasks in both directions by mapping JobTread events to corresponding Contacts API endpoints and vice versa. Implement idempotent updates to avoid duplicates.
Test in a sandbox or developer environment using sample records. Validate data mappings, field consistency, and error handling before production.
Be mindful of rate limits. Cache responses where possible and batch updates to reduce API calls. Use webhooks to receive updates rather than polling constantly.
You’ll find example payloads in the developer docs and in this page’s mapping guide. Start with a sample contact object and expand to tasks and notes as needed.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
