Authenticate requests using your Contacts API credentials with the scope: contacts.readonly. Use the approved method (API key or OAuth) provided by your GHL account.
MemberPress will use the same API credentials to access the Contacts API. Keep credentials secure and rotate keys as recommended.

POST /contacts/
Key fields: email, firstName, lastName
Trigger: MemberPress membership status or tier changes
Actions: Update contact via PUT /contacts/:contactId and update related notes or tags
PUT /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, membershipStatus, tierName
Trigger: Business process requires contact details
Actions: Fetch contact data using GET /contacts/:contactId, and pull related notes and tasks with GET /contacts/:contactId/notes and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId
Benefit: Quick setup with no-code automation to sync memberships and contact data
Benefit: Automated task creation and status updates tied to membership events
Benefit: Real-time or near real-time data sync between MemberPress and Contacts API
Key elements include Contacts, Membership events, Endpoints, Triggers, Actions, and Field mappings. Understand how each piece interoperates to automate workflows.
An individual record in the Contacts API representing a person with identifying details and associated data.
An event that initiates an automation or action within the integration workflow.
A specific URL path for a resource in the API that performs an action or returns data.
A data attribute used in requests and responses to describe or identify an object.
Automatically create a contact in Contacts API when a new MemberPress member signs up to streamline onboarding tasks.
Append notes or update fields in the contact whenever membership status changes in MemberPress.
Apply tags in the Contacts API based on the member’s tier to enable targeted campaigns.
Collect your Contacts API credentials and MemberPress access tokens from your account settings.
Set up triggers for membership events and contact updates in your automation tool.
Map the important fields (email, name, membership) and run tests to confirm syncing.
When a new MemberPress member is created, a corresponding contact is created in the Contacts API to start onboarding tasks. If the contact already exists, the integration updates the record to reflect the new membership. This ensures consistent data across platforms.
Yes—existing Contacts can be updated when membership changes. Use PUT /contacts/:contactId to update fields like membership status, tier, or plan. You can also adjust tags and notes as needed.
To sync tasks and notes, use GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, and POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to create tasks when needed. These endpoints support keeping workflows aligned.
Authentication relies on your Contacts API credentials with the scope: readonly. Use API keys or OAuth as provided by GHL. Keep credentials secure and rotate regularly.
No extensive coding is required; you can configure this in a no-code automation tool. Some understanding of REST endpoints helps for accurate mapping.
Real-time sync is possible with webhooks where supported. In some setups, expect near real-time updates and confirm via test syncs.
Field mapping is done by aligning MemberPress fields (email, firstName, lastName, membership) to Contacts API fields. Use your automation tool to map and test.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
