Learn how to securely authenticate against the Contacts API to grant the MyGadgetRepairs app the necessary readonly access to read contact data.
Configure OAuth 2.0 or API key flows for MyGadgetRepairs, requesting the contacts.readonly scope to safely access contact information in the GHL Contacts API.
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
Trigger: when a new or updated contact is detected in MyGadgetRepairs, fetch the contact and related tasks to sync.
Actions: retrieve the core contact data and its tasks; map fields back to MyGadgetRepairs to keep records aligned.
GET /contacts/:contactId and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks for initial data pull.
Key fields: id, name, email, phone, and linked taskId, title, dueDate, status.
Trigger: on contact update, fetch notes and upcoming appointments to surface in MyGadgetRepairs.
Actions: GET /contacts/:contactId/notes and GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments; optionally create notes with POST.
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes; GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments
Notes fields: id, content, date; Appointments fields: id, date, time, status
Trigger: when a task is created in MyGadgetRepairs, push to GHL as a new task for the contact.
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed
Fields: taskId, title, dueDate, status, notes
Faster setup and deployment with no custom backend code required.
Automatic data synchronization reduces manual data entry.
Consistent, centralized data across tools improves customer context and team efficiency.
Key concepts and processes to understand when integrating the GHL Contacts API with MyGadgetRepairs: authentication, endpoints, data mapping, and error handling.
A set of rules that allows one software application to talk to another and request data from the GHL Contacts API.
A secure authorization framework that lets MyGadgetRepairs access the Contacts API on behalf of users without sharing passwords.
A specific URL in the API that returns data or performs an action, such as GET /contacts/:contactId.
A set of permissions granted to the app, e.g., readonly to view contacts.
Automatically enrich contact records in MyGadgetRepairs with notes and tasks from the Contacts API when a contact is created in GHL.
Leverage notes from the Contacts API to tailor onboarding sequences in MyGadgetRepairs.
Sync tasks back and forth to keep support tickets aligned across systems.
Create API credentials in GHL and configure your MyGadgetRepairs app to hold the client ID and secret.
Set up OAuth 2.0 flow and scopes (readonly) to access contacts data securely.
Test endpoint calls like GET /contacts/:contactId and verify data sync before going live.
The Contacts API lets you read and manage contact data, including tasks, notes, and appointments, through API calls. It is designed for secure access from apps like MyGadgetRepairs. To begin, create credentials (OAuth or API key) and grant the app the contacts.readonly scope to start reading data.
You authenticate via OAuth 2.0 and/or API keys. Use the client ID and secret to obtain an access token. Store tokens securely and refresh as needed, with the scope set to readonly unless you need write access.
Endpoints include GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE calls for contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments. For a complete list and parameters, refer to the endpoint list in the guide and your API credentials. Always test calls in a sandbox before going live.
Yes. No-code connectors like Zapier or Make can set up flows without heavy coding. Some basic REST and auth concepts help, but templates and presets simplify the process.
Yes, you can trigger syncs on contact creation or updates and map fields to ensure data consistency. Schedule or event-based triggers help keep systems aligned without manual effort.
Webhooks enable real-time updates; configure GHL to push changes to your app. If webhooks are not used, you can rely on periodic polling to refresh data.
Respect rate limits and implement retry logic with backoff. Design idempotent operations and handle errors gracefully to ensure stable synchronization.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
