Access requires a valid API key or OAuth 2.0 token with the contacts.readonly scope to read contact data.
Ensure a secure connection by using OAuth 2.0 or API keys granted to the OpenGov integration, enabling data updates from GHL.
– GET /contacts/:contactId — Retrieve a contact by ID – GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks — List tasks for a contact – GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Retrieve a specific task – GET /contacts/:contactId/notes — List notes for a contact – GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id — Retrieve a specific note – GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments — Retrieve appointments for a contact – GET /contacts/ — List contacts – GET /contacts/business/:businessId — List contacts for a business – API Endpoint9: contacts.write – POST /contacts/ — Create a new contact – PUT /contacts/:contactId — Update a contact – DELETE /contacts/:contactId — Delete a contact – POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks — Create a task for a contact – PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Update a task – PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed — Mark a task as completed – DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Delete a task – POST /contacts/:contactId/tags — Tag a contact
Trigger: when a contact is created or updated in GHL
Actions: push to OpenGov to create or update a contact; optional task and note creation
Example path: PUT /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, email, name, businessId
Trigger: initial sync or nightly batch
Actions: batch upsert of contacts; map core fields
POST /contacts/
Key fields: contactId, name, email, businessId
Trigger: creation or update of tasks or notes in GHL
Actions: mirror to OpenGov as tasks and notes
PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId
Key fields: contactId, taskId, noteId
Faster data access across platforms
Less manual data entry and fewer errors
Automated workflows and alerts reduce response times
A concise glossary of terms used in this guide: API, endpoints, authentication, scopes, and data mapping.
Application Programming Interface: a set of rules that lets software components communicate.
OAuth 2.0 is an authorization framework that lets apps obtain limited access tokens.
A URL path that exposes a specific API function.
Permissions granted to an API client defining what data can be accessed.
Create OpenGov contact records automatically when new GHL contacts are added, with field mapping.
Automatically generate and link OpenGov tasks based on GHL task events.
Sync GHL notes to corresponding OpenGov contact notes for complete history.
Obtain API credentials and test connectivity between GHL and OpenGov.
Create a field map for contacts, tasks, and notes to ensure correct synchronization.
Configure endpoint paths and automations in Zapier or your connector.
No coding required for basic sync. Use the provided endpoints and mapping templates to connect GHL to OpenGov. Most setups leverage Zapier App Connector for predictable data flows.
With the contacts.readonly scope you can fetch contact data, including names, emails, and associated records. Write permissions are separate and require additional authorization.
Yes. You can push updates from OpenGov to GHL by enabling write endpoints and mapping changes back to GHL, depending on your connected workflow.
Some endpoints are paginated; check the API response for next page tokens and adjust your integration loop accordingly.
Authentication is typically via OAuth 2.0 or API keys. Include the access token in headers and request the proper scope.
Delete operations are allowed on contacts, but proceed with caution and ensure data backups before deletion.
Rate limits apply. If you exceed limits, you’ll receive a 429 error; implement exponential backoff.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
