Access to the Contacts API uses OAuth 2.0 with a client credentials flow or an API key. This page specifies the required scope and how to request tokens for read only access to contacts.
Lucky Orange authenticates with GHL through a secure OAuth flow and optional API key exchange to authorize data transfer between systems.
Available endpoints for this integration:\n- GET /contacts/:contactId\n- GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks\n- GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId\n- GET /contacts/:contactId/notes\n- GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id\n- GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments\n- GET /contacts/\n- GET /contacts/business/:businessId\n- contacts.write\n- POST /contacts/\n- PUT /contacts/:contactId\n- DELETE /contacts/:contactId\n- POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks\n- PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId\n- PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed\n- DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId\n- POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
Use webhooks or poll endpoints to push changes into Lucky Orange as soon as a contact, task, or note is updated.
Update Lucky Orange records automatically when GHL reports a change; create tasks or notes in Lucky Orange as needed.
Recommended methods include GET for reads and PUT/POST for updates. Example: GET /contacts/:contactId and PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId.
contactId, taskId, notesId
Schedule nightly or weekly exports of /contacts to synchronize large data changes.
Bulk map fields to Lucky Orange and apply updates in a batch run.
GET /contacts/ for listing and POST /contacts/ for creation in batch scenarios.
businessId and contactId
Trigger when notes or tasks are added or updated in GHL to drive Lucky Orange actions.
Automate reminders, status changes, and data enrichment in Lucky Orange.
Example: PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed
contactId, taskId
Faster time to value with no code blocks and drag and drop configuration.
Easier data enrichment between GHL and Lucky Orange without custom development.
Centralized control over permissions and data flow for maintainability.
This glossary defines the core elements, endpoints, terms, and processes used when connecting GHL Contacts API with Lucky Orange.
A defined URL path with an HTTP method used to access data in an API.
A standard authorization framework that enables applications to obtain limited access tokens securely.
An HTTP call to an API using a verb such as GET, POST, PUT, or DELETE.
A separate data environment within GHL that defines data, permissions, and configurations for a business.
Enrich GHL contact records with Lucky Orange visitor data as events happen.
Automatically create or update tasks in GHL when Lucky Orange detects important events in a contact’s journey.
Bring data from both systems into a single analytics view for insights.
Register your app in GHL and obtain a Client ID and Client Secret.
Set the scope to contacts.readonly and grant access to the required endpoints for your use case.
Run test requests, verify token validity, and confirm data flows to Lucky Orange.
Yes. You will typically need a developer or admin access to configure an OAuth app in GHL and to grant the Lucky Orange integration permission to read contacts. If you are using API keys, store them securely and rotate them regularly. Start with read only scope to confirm data access before enabling write permissions. After setup, monitor usage to stay within any rate limits.
For read only access, request the contacts.readonly scope and ensure the app has permission to read contact data, tasks, notes, and related resources. If your use case requires updates, request write permissions for the specific endpoints you plan to use, such as creating tasks or updating notes. Always follow the principle of least privilege.
Essential endpoints for a basic sync include GET /contacts/:contactId to read contacts and GET /contacts/ to fetch the list. Optional endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes to enrich data. Start with read operations and add write endpoints gradually as needed.
Yes. You can trigger the creation of tasks, notes, or tags in GHL based on Lucky Orange events. Ensure your app has the necessary write permissions and implement proper error handling and idempotency to avoid duplicates.
Use secure storage for client secrets, rotate credentials regularly, and implement token refresh. Use HTTPS for all endpoints and apply least privilege on scopes. Consider using webhooks for safer push notifications rather than polling.
Webhooks are supported in many setups to push real-time updates. If not supported directly, schedule frequent polling with proper backoff and retry logic. Always validate signatures and handle retries gracefully.
Map GHL contact fields to Lucky Orange data points consistently, including identifiers like contactId, timestamps, status, and custom fields. Maintain a clear one-to-one mapping, and document any transformations or normalizations you apply.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
