To start, obtain an API token with the scope ‘contacts.readonly’ from GHL and attach it to your requests. Treat tokens as sensitive credentials and rotate them periodically.
Movermate uses your API credentials to securely access the Contacts API, enabling synchronized data within your workflows.
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; 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

GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, businessId, tasks, notes, appointments
Trigger: updates to a contact’s tasks or notes
Actions: GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Fields: taskId, id, completed, dueDate
Trigger: new contact added in Movermate
Actions: POST /contacts/, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
POST /contacts/; POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; POST /contacts/:contactId/tags

Faster onboarding with API-driven workflows and no-code configuration options
Unified view of contacts, tasks, notes, and tags in a single interface
Automations and triggers reduce manual work and improve data accuracy
This glossary explains API concepts like endpoints, triggers, actions, and fields used in the Movermate and GHL integration.
A specific URL that performs an action in the GHL API, e.g., GET /contacts/:contactId.
The process of proving and securing access to the API via tokens or keys before making requests.
Permissions attached to tokens that restrict what API calls can do, e.g., contacts.readonly.
A label applied to a contact to categorize records and drive segmentation, used with POST /contacts/:contactId/tags.
Set up a trigger to sync contact updates to tasks automatically between Movermate and the Contacts API.
Auto-tag new contacts based on business attributes and trigger onboarding sequences.
Aggregate notes, tasks, and appointments into a single, searchable view.
Obtain API credentials and request scope: contacts.readonly. Keep credentials secure.
Select endpoints from the list that fit your workflow, such as GET /contacts/:contactId and POST /contacts/.
Create triggers and actions to automate data flow between Movermate and the Contacts API.
The Movermate-Contacts API integration exposes a range of endpoints for reading and writing data. You can fetch a contact with GET /contacts/:contactId and expand to related resources like tasks and notes. Use a combination of endpoints to build end-to-end workflows between Movermate and GHL. For example, pull a contact, then pull their tasks and notes to surface a complete view in your app.
To connect, request an API token with the required scope (for read-only operations, use contacts.readonly). Store the token securely and rotate it periodically. If you need write capabilities, ensure the token includes the appropriate scope (e.g., contacts.write).
This integration supports both read and write operations when the token has the correct scope. Read operations use GET endpoints; write operations use POST, PUT, or DELETE as appropriate. Be mindful of the scope you grant to avoid unintended changes.
Data is transmitted over secure connections (HTTPS) and tokens are stored securely. Follow best practices for credential management and rotate credentials regularly. Use rate limits and retry strategies to protect servers.
Yes. You can build automations that trigger actions across endpoints, such as syncing a contact update to create or modify tasks, notes, or tags. Use triggers and actions to automate routine data flows without manual input.
Rate limits vary by plan and endpoint. Plan for burst traffic and implement exponential backoff on retry. Check your API quotas in the GHL developer dashboard and monitor usage during high-demand periods.
To test the integration, use a staging or sandbox environment if available, verify token permissions, and run end-to-end scenarios that cover reads and writes. Validate data mappings and error handling before going live.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
