Start by creating an API app in your GHL developer console and obtain your OAuth tokens or API key to authorize requests to the Contacts API.
Configure Lawmatics to securely store and reuse the GHL access tokens, ensuring compliant data access for syncing.
Endpoints include: 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; API Endpoint9: 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 new or updated contact in Lawmatics.
Actions: POST /contacts/ to create; PUT /contacts/:contactId to update; optionally assign tasks or notes.
Method paths: POST /contacts/ and PUT /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: firstName, lastName, email, phone, businessId, contactId.
Trigger: Task or Note created in Lawmatics.
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks and POST /contacts/:contactId/notes.
Method paths: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, POST /contacts/:contactId/notes
Key fields: contactId, taskId, notesId, content, dueDate
Trigger: Appointment created or updated in Lawmatics.
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/appointments
Method path: POST /contacts/:contactId/appointments
Key fields: contactId, appointmentId, startTime, endTime
Rapid data synchronization without custom coding; build automations with clicks and triggers.
A unified view of contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments across Lawmatics and GHL.
Scalability via repeatable automations and real-time updates.
Key concepts, terms, and definitions to help you navigate the integration.
Granting permission for your app to access the GHL API using OAuth tokens or an API key.
A specific API URL path used to access a resource, such as /contacts/:contactId.
A notification sent to your app when a designated event occurs in GHL.
The process of verifying identity and permissions before API access is granted.
Use triggers from Lawmatics to apply tags via POST /contacts/:contactId/tags and keep segmentation in sync.
Route leads to different pipelines in Lawmatics depending on appointment details synced from GHL.
Sync completed tasks from GHL to Lawmatics and create related tasks in Lawmatics using the Tasks endpoints.
Register the app in GHL, obtain clientId, clientSecret, and set the redirect URI for OAuth.
Add endpoints like POST /contacts/ and GET /contacts/:contactId to your workflow and map fields.
Test data flow end-to-end, monitor logs, and adjust field mappings for accuracy.
No coding is required for many common uses. Lawmatics and the GHL Contacts API can be connected through no-code automation builders, webhooks, and standard API connectors. If you choose to code, you can customize field mappings, error handling, and batch syncing to fit complex workflows.
You can sync core contact data (name, email, phone), tasks, notes, and appointments. You can also sync custom fields like tags and businessId, enabling a complete data picture across both systems.
Authentication uses OAuth tokens or API keys issued by GHL and stored securely in Lawmatics. No-code setups typically handle token exchange via the UI, with secure storage and automatic refresh where supported.
Start with read operations such as GET /contacts/:contactId to verify access and see data structure. Then add creating and updating endpoints (POST /contacts/ and PUT /contacts/:contactId) to enable bidirectional sync, followed by related endpoints for tasks and notes.
Yes, you can set up bi-directional syncing for tasks and notes using the appropriate POST/PUT endpoints. Implement conflict resolution by preferring the latest timestamp and using id mappings to avoid duplicates.
API rate limits depend on your GHL plan and usage; monitor request count and back off when limits are approached. Design flows to batch smaller requests, retry failed calls with exponential backoff, and log errors for quick troubleshooting.
Common issues include invalid tokens, incorrect scopes, or endpoint outages. Check token validity, refresh tokens if needed, verify field mappings, and review the integration logs to identify where requests fail.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
