Requests to the Contacts API must include the proper authentication token within the scope of contacts.readonly. Keep credentials secure and rotate keys regularly.
Use OOPSpam’s secure connection flow to obtain access tokens for the GHL Contacts API and manage them in a centralized vault. Do not expose tokens in logs.
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: new contact is created in OOPSpam
Action: POST /contacts/ to create the contact in the Contacts API and optionally map fields and assign related data
POST /contacts/
name, email, phone, businessId
Trigger: a contact record is updated in OOPSpam
Action: PUT /contacts/:contactId to update corresponding fields in the Contacts API
PUT /contacts/:contactId
contactId, name, email, phone
Trigger: a task is created in OOPSpam
Action: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to create a task in the Contacts API
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
contactId, taskName, dueDate
Automation without writing code with visual workflows and triggers
Unified contact data across your tools reduces duplication
Faster onboarding, better collaboration, and clearer data history
This glossary explains core terms and processes you will encounter when connecting GHL Contacts API with OOPSpam.
Application Programming Interface a set of rules that let apps talk to each other and exchange data.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to perform an action against a resource in an API.
A URL endpoint that receives real time notifications when an event happens in another system.
OAuth is a token based authorization standard used to grant access without sharing passwords.
Automatically create or update contacts in the Contacts API when a new lead enters OOPSpam, then keep fields mapped.
Attach tasks in the Contacts API based on activity in OOPSpam to drive action items.
Sync notes and events to maintain a complete activity history across platforms.
Register the integration and obtain the API key and secret; configure the scope to contacts.readonly.
Map fields between OOPSpam and Contacts API and set up any needed webhooks or polling.
Run test data through the endpoints, verify results, and monitor logging and performance.
In most cases you can connect without writing code by using Zapier or a similar automation tool to create triggers and actions between OOPSpam and the GHL Contacts API. If you have custom requirements, you can build a lightweight middleware layer to handle complex mappings. Start with the basic triggers and expand as needed.
The integration centers on the endpoints listed in the Key Endpoints section. You can read or fetch contacts, their tasks and notes, create or update contacts, and manage tasks. Not all endpoints are required for every page, but the available set includes the ones shown.
Authentication relies on secure tokens scoped to contacts.readonly. Store tokens securely, rotate regularly, and avoid exposing credentials in logs. Use your app’s vault or a dedicated secrets manager and follow best practices for OAuth or API key handling.
Yes. You can set up workflows so that creating or updating contacts automatically creates or synchronizes related tasks and notes. Webhooks can push updates in real time, or you can poll endpoints as needed.
Map fields such as name, email, phone, and businessId between OOPSpam and Contacts API. Maintain consistent data types and handle nulls gracefully to avoid missing information.
Security best practices include using HTTPS, token rotation, least privilege scopes, and auditing access. Ensure storage and transmission of data comply with applicable rules.
Consult the dedicated developer docs for the Contacts API and OOPSpam integration, plus the Zapier app connector guides for step-by-step setup and examples.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
