Scope: contacts.readonly. Authenticate via OAuth 2.0 to grant read access to contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments for Motion-io.
Configure Motion-io with your GHL API credentials (client ID and client secret) to securely access the Contacts API.

Automate data sync to eliminate manual imports and updates.
Create a unified view of contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments inside Motion-io without writing code.
Trigger workflows and reminders automatically based on data changes.
This glossary defines core elements and data flows: Contacts, Tasks, Notes, Appointments, and Tags, plus endpoints and fields used by Motion-io.
People stored in GHL with identifying details and related records.
Notes are contextual records attached to a contact to capture history.
Action items linked to contacts, with status and due dates.
Scheduled calendar events linked to a contact for meetings or calls.
Automatically pull augmented data for new contacts into Motion-io via GHL to enrich profiles.
Sync task status and updates between GHL and Motion-io to prevent drift.
Trigger reminders in Motion-io based on task due dates in GHL.
Register Motion-io in GHL and obtain client ID and client secret.
Grant the contacts.readonly scope and authorize Motion-io to access your data.
Run test requests to endpoints and verify responses in Motion-io.
The integration exposes several endpoints for reading and managing contact data, including fetching a single contact, related tasks, notes, and appointments. You can also list all contacts and create new ones. To start, obtain OAuth credentials and request the contacts.readonly scope to view data. This setup enables read-only access during exploration and testing in Motion-io.
No extensive coding is required for basic setups. Use the provided OAuth credentials and configure Motion-io to call the endpoints. For advanced automations, you can extend triggers and actions within Motion-io to respond to changes in GHL data. Start with the no-code flow and move to lightweight scripting if needed.
Authenticate using OAuth 2.0 and request the appropriate scope (contacts.readonly). Securely store client credentials in a vault and rotate secrets periodically. Motion-io should refresh tokens as needed and handle token errors gracefully to maintain uninterrupted data access.
You can read contact details, associated tasks, notes, and appointments. Writing capabilities are limited to supported endpoints and permissions (such as creating contacts or tasks when allowed). Always respect the defined scopes and data governance policies.
API usage may be subject to rate limits set by GHL. Plan for retries and exponential backoff in Motion-io. Monitor quota consumption in your app dashboard and design bulk requests thoughtfully to avoid hitting limits.
Yes. The Motion-io integration can be paired with Zapier to automate data flows between GHL and other apps. Use webhooks and standard REST calls to trigger actions in Zapier when data changes occur.
A sandbox or development environment is recommended for testing. Use test credentials and mock data where possible, and validate end-to-end flows before moving to production. This helps prevent unintended data changes.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
