Access to the Contacts API from Keygen is secured through your GHL workspace credentials. Configure the appropriate authentication method in your GHL settings and supply the credentials with each API call.
In Keygen, generate and store a dedicated API key or token for authenticating requests to the GHL Contacts API. Use this credential in your connector setup and rotate it periodically.
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: When a contact is created or updated in Keygen, fetch the latest data from GET /contacts/:contactId.
Actions: Call GET /contacts/:contactId, then GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, and sync results back into Keygen.
GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, name, email, phone, updatedAt
Trigger: Open a contact in Keygen to pull notes via GET /contacts/:contactId/notes.
Actions: Call GET /contacts/:contactId/notes and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id, then store in Keygen.
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
Key fields: contactId, id, note, createdAt, updatedAt
Trigger: When a contact’s schedule changes, fetch GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments.
Actions: Call GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments and GET /contacts/business/:businessId, then link results to the contact record.
GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments; GET /contacts/business/:businessId
Key fields: contactId, appointmentDate, businessId, businessName
Fast setup with no code required—use the pre-built connectors to map fields between Keygen and the GHL Contacts API.
Automated data synchronization keeps contacts, notes, and tasks up to date across systems.
Scalable workflows and real-time updates enable powerful CRM automation without custom development.
Glossary terms below define the components and processes used in this integration, including endpoints, authentication, and data fields.
The API provided by GHL to programmatically access data such as contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments in your account.
A specific URL path in the API used to perform a operation (for example, GET /contacts/:contactId).
The process of proving identity to access the API, typically via API keys or OAuth tokens.
The data sent with a request or returned in a response, usually in JSON.
Pull contact data from GHL and enrich with external sources in Keygen, then store the result for easy access.
Create or update tasks in GHL automatically when certain criteria are met in Keygen.
Synchronize notes and contact history between Keygen and GHL to provide a complete view.
Obtain GHL credentials and configure Keygen to use them for API calls.
Use sample data or a sandbox to test the endpoints listed above.
Activate automations in Zapier or your workflow and monitor for errors.
No coding is required to connect Keygen with the GHL Contacts API. The pre-built connectors let you map fields and automate the flow between Keygen and GHL without writing code. If you need more customization, you can extend with Zapier or webhooks to add logic. The no-code approach keeps setup fast and maintainable.
Use the GHL API authentication method configured in your workspace and apply the credentials in your Keygen connector. Treat credentials as sensitive data and rotate keys regularly. If your organization supports OAuth, you can leverage token-based flows; otherwise, use API keys as provided by GHL.
Available endpoints include retrieving a contact, a contact’s tasks, notes, and appointments; creating and updating contacts; and managing tags and business context. Not every endpoint is required for every workflow; choose the endpoints that align with your automation goals.
Test the connection in a safe environment using sample data or a sandbox. Validate authentication, then call representative endpoints (for example GET /contacts/:contactId) to confirm responses and field mappings. Watch for errors and adjust headers or payloads as needed.
Yes. You can set up automated syncing of notes, tasks, and appointments between Keygen and GHL. Webhooks or Zapier-based automations can trigger updates in near real-time as data changes.
If a contact is updated in Keygen, the integration can push changes to the corresponding contact in GHL, ensuring both systems reflect the latest information. Configure your workflow to handle conflicts and preserve data integrity.
In Keygen, navigate to the API Keys section to generate and manage keys. Copy the key value and paste it into your connector configuration in your integration settings. Rotate keys periodically and store them securely.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
