To access data from the GHL Contacts API, configure authentication with a secure method supported by your GHL account. Use the scope provided (contacts.readonly) to limit access to read operations. Store tokens securely and refresh as needed.
In ManyReach, create or obtain API credentials and grant permissions for the Contacts API. Ensure the app is granted the contacts.readonly scope, then test the connection with sample requests to validate access.
Key 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 endpoints for write operations (POST, PUT, DELETE) such as 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: When a contact is created or updated in GHL, pull their details and related tasks into ManyReach.
Actions: Map contact fields to ManyReach, create or update a contact record, and fetch associated tasks and notes for immediate visibility.
Method Path: Use GET /contacts/:contactId and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to assemble a complete contact profile in ManyReach.
Key fields: contactId, taskId, notes, appointments
Trigger: A new contact is created in GHL triggers a new record creation in ManyReach.
Actions: Create the contact in ManyReach via POST /contacts/, link with business if available, and pull initial tasks/notes.
Method Path: POST /contacts/ to create, then optionally POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks for initial work items.
Key fields: contactId, businessId, tasks, notes
Trigger: A task is updated or completed in GHL triggers corresponding updates in ManyReach.
Actions: Update task status in ManyReach, mark as completed when applicable, and synchronize notes.
Method Path: PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed and PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId
Key fields: contactId, taskId, status, completionDate
Rapid setup with ready-to-use REST endpoints means you can start syncing data without building custom integrations.
Bi-directional data flow lets changes in GHL reflect in ManyReach and vice versa, keeping records current.
Centralized CRM workflows: access contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments from a single dashboard.
This glossary covers endpoints, authentication, data mapping, and common terms used when linking GHL with ManyReach.
A specific URL path you call to access a resource or perform an action in an API.
The process used to verify identity and grant access to API resources, typically via tokens or OAuth.
A defined set of rules and endpoints that allow apps to read or modify data in a system.
Industry-standard authorization framework used to obtain access tokens for API requests with user consent.
Use GET /contacts/:contactId and related endpoints to auto-create onboarding tasks in ManyReach when a new contact is added in GHL.
Trigger creation and completion of tasks in ManyReach based on GHL task events to streamline workflows.
Sync notes and appointments to build a complete activity history inside ManyReach for each contact.
Create or obtain API credentials in ManyReach and authorize the GHL Contacts API with the scope ‘contacts.readonly’.
Define how GHL fields translate to ManyReach fields for contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments.
Run test requests, review logs, and enable automated syncing for ongoing data integrity.
The Contacts API provides access to core resources like contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments. With the read-only scope, you can retrieve data to surface in ManyReach dashboards, reports, and automations. For write-enabled scenarios, you would need appropriate permissions and separate scopes. Ensure you map fields carefully to preserve data integrity.
Requests are authenticated using OAuth 2.0 tokens or API keys, depending on your setup. Exchange credentials securely, request an access token with the contacts.readonly scope, and attach the token to each API call. Rotate tokens regularly and store them in a secure credential store.
Common endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch a contact, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks for tasks, and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes for notes. For creating or updating data, use POST /contacts/ and PUT /contacts/:contactId. The complete set covers tasks, notes, appointments, and tags.
Yes—ManyReach can write data back to GHL through write-enabled endpoints (e.g., POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId). You’ll need appropriate scopes and credentials. Start with read-only tests, then request elevated permissions if your workflow requires writes.
Pitfalls include mismatched field mappings, insufficient permissions, and rate-limiting during bursts. Always validate field mappings in a staging environment and monitor API usage. Use incremental syncing to reduce load and ensure reliability.
Use test credentials and sandbox data to verify connections. Run sample requests for contacts, tasks, and notes, review responses for correctness, and confirm that data appears in ManyReach as expected before going live.
API endpoint documentation is typically provided in your GHL developer portal or API reference. If you’re using ManyReach, consult the integration guide and endpoint list included in this template for quick reference.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
