Authenticate requests with your GHL API key and ensure the token includes the contacts readonly scope for data retrieval.
NationBuilder authenticates the connection to GHL using OAuth 2.0. In the NationBuilder app settings configure client credentials and grant access to contacts data.
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, contacts.write, 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

This glossary covers API terms used in this guide and how they apply to the NationBuilder and GHL connection
Application Programming Interface a set of endpoints and rules for accessing data
The process of proving permission to access a resource usually via tokens or OAuth
A specific URL path where an API can be accessed to perform a function
A way for an API to push data to your app in real time
Create a single timeline that combines NationBuilder history with GHL notes and tasks
Auto generate tasks based on contact activity in NationBuilder
Set up alerts for key changes and metrics across both systems
Obtain API credentials on the GHL side and authorize NationBuilder to access contacts and related data
Map core fields from NationBuilder to GHL fields for contacts tasks notes
Run tests verify data flows and deploy the integration to production
No code is required for many common use cases. Use the standard REST endpoints to read and write data between NationBuilder and GHL. If you need custom logic you can add a middleware or use an automation tool such as Zapier to handle complex flows.
For basic syncing you typically leverage the endpoints that read and update contacts and their associated tasks and notes. This keeps profiles up to date without overfetching data. If your needs include bulk imports or scheduled syncs, consider a lightweight batch process to manage rate limits and retries.
Authentication uses your GHL API key or OAuth credentials depending on the setup. Ensure scopes include read and write access to contacts data. In NationBuilder configure the OAuth flow to request the appropriate permissions and securely store tokens.
Yes. You can write data back to NationBuilder by using endpoints that create or update contacts and their related tasks and notes. Implement appropriate conflict handling and field mappings to preserve data integrity.
Realtime sync depends on the event triggers you configure. If you enable webhooks or frequent polling, changes propagate quickly between systems. Plan fallback syncing in case of network interruptions to avoid data gaps.
Logs are typically stored in your integration middleware or app connector. Review the event history to diagnose failures and confirm successful data transfers. Enable verbose logging during initial rollout to capture details for troubleshooting.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
