To connect Missive to Contacts API, obtain a valid API key or OAuth credentials from your GHL account, configure the app in Missive with those credentials, and test the connection to ensure secure access to contact data, tasks, notes, and more.
Missive uses OAuth 2.0 or API key‑based tokens to access GHL endpoints. Store credentials securely and refresh tokens as needed to maintain uninterrupted access to contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments.

Trigger: when a contact is opened in Missive, fetch latest tasks, and attach them to the contact in Missive.
Actions: GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
GET /contacts/:contactId and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
contactId, taskId, status
Trigger: when a contact is updated via PUT /contacts/:contactId, push changes to Missive
Actions: PUT /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId
PUT /contacts/:contactId
contactId, updatedFields
Trigger: on new contact creation in GHL, create corresponding Missive contact
Actions: POST /contacts/, GET /contacts/:contactId
POST /contacts/
contactId, createdAt, name
Automate data flows between Missive and your contact records without writing a line of code.
Keep tasks, notes, and contact fields in sync across systems in real time.
Trigger alerts and updates across teams using simple, rule‑based automations.
This glossary explains API endpoints, triggers, actions, and data fields used to connect Missive with the Contacts API.
A set of rules and endpoints that allow Missive to access Contacts data from the GHL API.
A method for verifying identity and granting access to GHL endpoints, typically via OAuth 2.0 tokens or API keys.
A specific URL path in the GHL API used to perform an action or retrieve data.
A lightweight callback sent by GHL to Missive to notify about events, such as updates to a contact.
Use the POST /contacts/ endpoint to add new contacts from Missive automatically and create a new Missive record with linked data.
Sync tasks created in Contacts with Missive tasks to keep teams aligned.
Tag contacts in GHL and apply labels in Missive to automate routing and follow-ups.
Obtain API credentials from GHL and configure the Missive app to use them.
Choose endpoints, map fields, and set up triggers to automate flows.
Run tests, monitor logs, and deploy the integration.
Authentication uses OAuth 2.0 or API keys. Start by creating a client in GHL, then authorize Missive to access Contacts data. Store credentials securely and refresh tokens as needed to maintain access.
Supported endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, POST /contacts/ to create, PUT /contacts/:contactId to update, DELETE /contacts/:contactId to delete. Use GET /contacts/ for a list.
Yes. If a contact is updated in GHL, you can push the changes to Missive automatically via a configured trigger, and vice versa if bidirectional syncing is enabled.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan. Plan for retries with exponential backoff and implement error handling in Missive.
Map fields using the built-in data mapper in Missive to align contact fields with GHL fields, including IDs, names, emails, and custom fields.
If an endpoint returns an error, view the response code and message in the logs, implement retries, and check authentication or payload formatting.
Test with a sandbox or staging environment, run sample records, and verify data synchronization before going live.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
