Authenticate requests to the Contacts API with a secure API key or OAuth token from GHL. Include the token in the Authorization header for all endpoints.
To connect LearnDash to GHL, configure API credentials in the connector and authorize the app to access Contacts data.
GET /contacts/:contactId — Retrieve a single contact; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks — List tasks; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Get a task; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes — List notes; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id — Get a note; GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments — List appointments; GET /contacts/ — List contacts; GET /contacts/business/:businessId — List contacts for a business; contacts.write — Scope; POST /contacts/ — Create a contact; PUT /contacts/:contactId — Update contact; DELETE /contacts/:contactId — Delete contact; POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks — Create a task; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Update task; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed — Mark complete; DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Delete task; POST /contacts/:contactId/tags — Tag a contact
Trigger: A contact is updated in LearnDash or in GHL, and you want to reflect the latest data in the other system.
Actions: Fetch the contact with GET /contacts/:contactId and update the LearnDash user record; map fields like email, firstName, lastName, and phone.
GET /contacts/:contactId
contactId, email, firstName, lastName, phone
Trigger: A LearnDash user is created or updated, triggering a new or updated contact in GHL.
Actions: POST /contacts/ to create or PUT /contacts/:contactId to update; map core fields such as email, name, and phone.
POST /contacts/; PUT /contacts/:contactId
email, firstName, lastName, phone
Trigger: Tags or notes are added in LearnDash and should be mirrored in GHL.
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/tags to add labels; POST /contacts/:contactId/notes to record notes.
POST /contacts/:contactId/tags; POST /contacts/:contactId/notes
contactId, tag, note
No-code setup enables rapid connections without writing custom code.
Synchronization keeps LearnDash course progress and contact data aligned in one system.
Automations for tasks, notes, and communications run on demand.
Key elements include Contacts, Tasks, Notes, Appointments, Tags, and the data mapping processes used to sync LearnDash and GHL.
A person in your database with contact details stored in GHL; optionally linked to LearnDash user data.
A to-do item tied to a contact or LearnDash activity.
A text entry attached to a contact to capture important information.
A scheduled interaction linked to a contact.
Automatically create or update a GHL contact when a LearnDash student enrolls in a course.
Send a task or note when a student reaches a milestone in LearnDash.
Tag contacts in GHL based on LearnDash course completions.
Collect your API key and endpoint details from GHL and prepare LearnDash for integration.
Enter the endpoint paths and HTTP methods shown in the API reference and map fields.
Test with a sample contact and monitor activity logs before going live.
The integration uses secure authentication and encrypted channels to protect data in transit. For added protection, rotate credentials and limit access to trusted systems. Monitor API activity with logging and set up alerting on failures to respond quickly.
Use GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch a contact and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to view related tasks. Use GET /contacts/:contactId/notes for notes and GET /contacts/ to list all contacts. For business-based views, use GET /contacts/business/:businessId.
Yes. Use POST /contacts/ to create a contact and PUT /contacts/:contactId to update existing records. You can also create tasks with POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks and attach notes with POST /contacts/:contactId/notes.
No coding is required if you use the no-code connector or automation platform to map fields and endpoints. You can configure triggers, actions, and field mappings through the UI.
Test the connection by creating a test contact in LearnDash or GHL and verify data synchronization in both systems. Check API logs for any errors and adjust mappings as needed.
Common mappings include contactId, email, firstName, lastName, and phone. You can extend mappings to include course progress and tag fields as needed for segmentation.
API error details appear in the response body and error logs. Use standard HTTP status codes to diagnose issues and review the endpoint documentation for required fields and rate limits.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
