Requests to the Contacts API require a valid API key with the appropriate scope (contacts.readonly). Store credentials securely, rotate them regularly, and apply least-privilege access.
Create a dedicated connection in MDirector to securely store your credentials and authorize calls to the Contacts API. Use the App Connector to manage tokens and scopes.

Trigger: When a contactId is provided from MDirector, pull the full contact record from the Contacts API.
Actions: Map core fields (name, email, phone) to MDirector; create or update the contact record.
GET /contacts/:contactId
contactId, firstName, lastName, email, phone
Trigger: Retrieve the list of tasks for a contact when requested.
Actions: Sync task list with MDirector tasks; map status and due dates.
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
taskId, title, status, dueDate, completed
Trigger: When a single task is requested in MDirector for a contact.
Actions: Retrieve task details and update task state in MDirector.
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId
taskId, title, status, dueDate, notes
No-code integration lets non-developers connect the Contacts API with MDirector using a visual, drag-and-drop workflow.
Automated data synchronization reduces manual data entry and keeps records consistent across platforms.
Faster onboarding and easier maintenance thanks to centralized configuration.
This glossary covers endpoints, triggers, actions, authentication methods, and field mappings used to connect GHL’s Contacts API with MDirector.
A specific URL path used to perform an action against an API, such as GET /contacts/:contactId.
An event that starts an automation or data sync, such as requesting a contact’s details from Contacts API.
The process of proving identity to access API resources, typically via API keys or OAuth tokens.
The process of aligning fields between systems so data transfers correctly.
Pull real-time contact details from the Contacts API and enrich MDirector profiles on the fly.
Create or update MDirector tasks based on changes detected in Contacts API to maintain momentum.
Sync notes, calls, and appointments to build a complete activity history in MDirector.
Obtain your Contacts API key with the necessary scope (contacts.readonly) and store securely.
In MDirector, create a new connection using your API key, base URL, and authentication method.
Test endpoints (for example GET /contacts/:contactId) to verify mappings and data flow before going live.
The Contacts API integration focuses on read-only access to contact data to keep information in sync. If you need write permissions, you would require elevated privileges and a security review to enable additional scopes. Always operate with least-privilege access.\nBy design, this setup emphasizes retrieving contacts, tasks, notes, and related data to populate MDirector without making uncontrolled changes to source data.
Available endpoints are listed in the Endpoint Reference section and include fetching a contact by ID, retrieving tasks and notes for a contact, and managing basic contact records. Use the base URL provided in your app credentials and pass the correct contactId or businessId as needed.\nIf you need to write data, ensure the appropriate permissions (contacts.write) are granted and that your app adheres to your security policies.
Authenticate to the Contacts API using your API key with the correct scope (contacts.readonly). In MDirector, configure a connection that stores and rotates credentials securely. OAuth may be used depending on your setup, but API keys are the common approach for this integration.\nAlways protect tokens, rotate credentials regularly, and monitor for unusual activity.
Yes, if your integration has the necessary permissions (e.g., contacts.write). In that case, you can create or update contacts from MDirector by sending POST, PUT, or DELETE requests through the Contacts API. Ensure changes are logged and audited.\nFor safety, enforce validation and field mappings to avoid data corruption.
Yes. This is designed as a no-code integration using connectors and mappings in MDirector. You can set up endpoints, triggers, and actions without writing code.\nUtilize the App Connector to configure authentication, field mappings, and data flows with a few simple steps.
Map fields between MDirector and the Contacts API to ensure data consistency. Typical mappings include contactId, firstName, lastName, email, and phone, along with taskId, title, status, and dueDate for task objects.\nAlways validate mappings in a test run before going live to prevent mismatches.
Endpoint references are available in the API Endpoints Overview section of this page. You can also refer to your API documentation or the endpoint reference in the app connector settings for details on required parameters and response shapes.\nIf you need examples, start with GET /contacts/:contactId to verify authentication and basic data retrieval.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
