Authenticate using OAuth 2.0 with the Contacts API. Your GHL API client should request the scope ‘contacts.readonly’ to read data, and more permissions as needed for writes.
Kartra uses app credentials (API key or OAuth token). Store tokens securely and apply the required scopes to access contacts, notes, and tasks.
– 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 Kartra
Actions: Create or update the corresponding contact in the Contacts API; create or update tasks for that contact using POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
GET /contacts/:contactId and PUT /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: id, email, name, phone, lastUpdated
Trigger: Notes added or updated in Kartra
Actions: Create notes in the Contacts API with POST /contacts/:contactId/notes and attach to the correct contact
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
Note fields: id, contactId, content, createdAt
Trigger: Appointment created or updated in Kartra
Actions: Create or update appointments in the Contacts API via available endpoints (e.g., GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments to fetch and update status)
GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments
Appointment fields: id, contactId, startTime, endTime, status
Automate data flow without writing code—map Kartra forms to Contacts API records automatically
Leverage triggers and actions to keep data in sync in real time
Easily customize workflows with a visual builder to connect endpoints
This glossary explains terms used to describe the integration flow between Kartra and the Contacts API.
A specific URL path and HTTP method used to access or modify data in an API.
A standard authorization framework to obtain access tokens securely.
A callback mechanism that notifies your app when data changes.
Permissions granted to an app to access specific resources.
Capture new Kartra form submissions and push to the Contacts API as new contacts with core fields like name, email, and phone.
When a Kartra task is created, generate a corresponding task in the Contacts API and attach to the related contact to keep teams aligned.
Aggregate notes from both systems into a single contact history view for easier context.
Create an app in the GHL developer portal, obtain client ID and secret or API key, and set the correct redirect URI for OAuth.
Map the endpoints you will use (e.g., GET /contacts, POST /contacts) and request scopes like contacts.readonly for read access and write scopes as needed.
Run test syncing, verify data integrity, then deploy to production with monitoring and alerts.
The GHL Contacts API exposes endpoints to read and manage contact data, tasks, notes, and appointments. It uses standard HTTP methods and JSON payloads. You authenticate via OAuth 2.0 and request the required scope (contacts.readonly) to access data. This guide focuses on secure, no-code setup.
Yes. With the no-code connector, you can map Kartra fields to Contacts API fields and trigger actions without writing code. If you need custom logic, you can extend with available webhooks or scripts in your automation platform.
The endpoints shown include reads for contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments, as well as creation and updates for contacts and tasks. Not all endpoints are required for every page—choose the ones that fit your use case.
Security is handled with OAuth tokens, TLS, and least-privilege scopes. Always store tokens securely and rotate them regularly.
Yes. You can set up triggers in Kartra to push notes, tasks, and appointments to GHL in real-time. Test thoroughly to avoid duplicates and ensure data consistency.
Scopes define what data your app can access. For read-only access, use contacts.readonly. For write operations, request broader scopes as needed and follow best practices for token management.
We provide templates and step-by-step setup guides within Rankr to help you get started quickly. If you need more help, contact support for tailored templates and best-practice workflows.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
