Authenticate Leap against the Contacts API by using your API token or OAuth credentials to authorize requests and protect data in transit.
In Leap, enter the generated API key and authorize the connection to the Contacts API to enable secure data exchange.
GET /contacts/:contactId — Retrieve a single contact GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks — List tasks for a contact GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Retrieve a specific task GET /contacts/:contactId/notes — List notes for a contact GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id — Retrieve a specific note GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments — List appointments for a contact GET /contacts/ — List all contacts GET /contacts/business/:businessId — Retrieve contacts by business contacts.write — Permission: write access to contacts POST /contacts/ — Create a new contact PUT /contacts/:contactId — Update a contact DELETE /contacts/:contactId — Delete a contact POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks — Create a task for a contact 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
Trigger: when a contact is updated in Leap, fetch the latest data from the Contacts API to refresh Leap records.
Actions: GET /contacts/:contactId to pull details; map key fields to Leap; update the Leap contact profile.
Method/Path: GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, email, firstName, lastName
Trigger: a new or updated task in Leap creates a corresponding task in the Contacts API.
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; sync status; push task updates back to Leap.
Method/Path: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: contactId, taskId, title, dueDate
Trigger: changes in Leap notes or appointment dates update corresponding records in the Contacts API.
Actions: GET/PUT /contacts/:contactId/notes and GET/PUT /contacts/:contactId/appointments to keep data aligned.
Method/Paths: GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, PUT /contacts/:contactId/notes; GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments, PUT /contacts/:contactId/appointments
Key fields: contactId, noteId, appointmentId
Automate data flow without writing code by connecting Leap’s UI directly to the Contacts API.
Sync contact data in near real-time to reduce manual entry and errors.
Easily map fields between Leap forms and Contacts API endpoints for consistent data.
Key elements and processes to know when integrating the Contacts API with Leap include endpoints, authentication, data mapping, and event triggers.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to access or modify a resource in an API.
A secret value used to authorize API requests, often passed in request headers.
An authorization framework that lets apps access user data without exposing passwords.
A real-time notification mechanism from an API to your application.
Use GET /contacts/:contactId to pull external data and automatically update Leap profiles.
Create Leap tasks when new notes or calls are logged via the API, keeping tasks in sync.
Link Leap reminders to Contacts API appointments so teams stay on top of deadlines.
Generate an API key in GHL and securely store it in Leap’s connection settings.
Map Leap fields to Contacts API fields like name, email, phone, notes, and tasks.
Run tests, verify data sync, and enable automations between Leap and the Contacts API.
The integration uses token-based authentication (API key or OAuth) to authorize requests to the Contacts API. This ensures that only your Leap instance can read or modify contact data. Keep your credentials secure and rotate them regularly. In Leap, enter the API key and authorize the connection to start syncing.
To keep data in sync, you will typically need endpoints for retrieving and listing contacts, plus endpoints for notes, tasks, and appointments. Commonly used calls include GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, and POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to create work items. Map fields carefully to maintain consistency.
Bidirectional syncing is possible with proper webhooks and event mapping, but you may choose to implement unidirectional syncing depending on data governance. Ensure conflict resolution rules are in place so updates from either side don’t overwrite important data.
Test your connection by creating a test contact in Leap and verifying that the data appears in the Contacts API and back. Use sandbox environments if available and monitor logs for any authorization or mapping errors.
If you hit rate limits, throttle requests and review your integration to batch calls. Consider caching frequently requested data and staggering updates to stay within limits.
Field mapping is essential to ensure data lands in the right place. Use Leap’s mapping UI to align Leap fields with Contacts API fields (for example, firstName, lastName, email) and test each mapping thoroughly.
Credentials and tokens are typically shown in your GHL account’s API section. If you can’t locate them, contact your administrator or look for dedicated API keys under the security settings in GHL.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
