To access the GHL Contacts API, obtain your API credentials (OAuth tokens or API key) from your GHL account and securely store them. Use these credentials to authorize every request to the Contacts endpoints.
Configure Laxis to use the GHL credentials and set up secure OAuth or API key-based access so requests to GHL are authenticated when syncing contacts, tasks, notes, and more.
GET /contacts/:contactId — Retrieve a single contact; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks — List a contact’s tasks; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Get a specific task; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes — List contact notes; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id — Get a specific note; GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments — List contact appointments; GET /contacts/ — List contacts; GET /contacts/business/:businessId — List contacts by business; POST /contacts/ — Create a contact; PUT /contacts/:contactId — Update a contact; DELETE /contacts/:contactId — Delete a contact; POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks — Create a task; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Update a task; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed — Mark a task as completed; DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Delete a task; POST /contacts/:contactId/tags — Add tags to a contact. Note: The GHL API also defines a read-only scope (contacts.readonly) and a write scope (contacts.write) for different operations.
Trigger: contact updates in GHL automatically push changes to Laxis.
Actions: update Laxis contact data, create/update related tasks or notes, and keep tags in sync.
Method Path: Use GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch current contact data for incremental updates.
Key fields: contactId, email, name
Trigger: a new contact is created in GHL.
Actions: create a corresponding contact in Laxis and attach initial notes/tasks.
Method Path: POST /contacts/ to create a new contact in Laxis via the API.
Key fields: name, email, contactId
Trigger: changes to tasks or notes on a contact in GHL.
Actions: create/update tasks and notes in Laxis to reflect GHL activity; mark tasks complete when GHL marks them complete.
Method Path: PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId or PUT /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id as applicable.
Key fields: taskId, noteId, status
No-code automation lets you connect GHL and Laxis via the app connector without writing code.
Real-time data sync reduces manual updates and ensures consistent contact data across systems.
Centralized access via an API-driven workflow simplifies audits and reporting.
This glossary explains core data elements and processes used when integrating GHL Contacts API with Laxis: Contacts, Tasks, Notes, Appointments, Tags, and common API operations.
A person entry in GHL containing identifying details, communication history, and associated tasks, notes, and appointments.
A to-do item linked to a contact, used for tracking activities and follow-ups.
A free-text entry attached to a contact for additional context, updates, or notes from interactions.
A scheduled meeting or call linked to a contact or a business, used for coordination.
Automatically create tasks in Laxis when a new contact is added in GHL to trigger timely follow-ups.
Pull notes and upcoming tasks into Laxis before meetings to provide a complete context.
Aggregate data from GHL and Laxis into a unified profile for sales and support teams.
Generate and securely store API credentials for both GHL and Laxis to enable authenticated data exchange.
Set up the endpoints and data fields to synchronize contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments.
Run end-to-end tests and monitor data flow to ensure reliability before going live.
The GHL Contacts API lets you read and write basic contact data, tasks, notes, appointments, and tags. It supports both read-only and write operations depending on your granted scope. This enables flexible integration with Laxis for robust contact management. In Laxis, you can pull in contact data to showcase a complete activity history.
No-code connectors and app integrations make this feasible without custom development. Use the Laxis app connector and GHL API keys to establish secure data exchange. For advanced scenarios, you can extend with lightweight automation tasks.
Authentication is handled via API credentials issued by GHL and the Laxis app. Store tokens securely and include them in request headers to authorize each call. Rotate credentials periodically and follow best practices for API security.
Key endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, and POST /contacts/:contactId/tags. These endpoints support reading and managing contacts, tasks, notes, and tags.
Implement retry logic and exponential backoff to handle transient errors. Validate responses, log failures, and surface meaningful messages to users. Use idempotent requests where possible.
Yes. The integration can sync tasks and notes in real time by using webhooks and polling to keep GHL and Laxis in sync. Ensure you have appropriate write scopes on both sides.
See the developer documentation for example requests, field mappings, and sample payloads. The docs cover typical CRUD operations for contacts, tasks, notes, and tags.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
