Authenticate requests with a Bearer token using your GHL API key. Scope: contacts.readonly. Include Authorization: Bearer {token} in every call.
Paperless Parts uses an API token to access GHL data. Store tokens securely and rotate keys regularly.

No code automation lets you connect systems without writing code
Faster onboarding and fewer manual data entry tasks
Real time data sync improves accuracy and responsiveness
Key elements include endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, and data mapping. Data flows between GHL and Paperless Parts are described here.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to access a resource in an API.
An access token sent in the Authorization header to grant access.
Authorization framework for obtaining access tokens and scopes.
A URL endpoint that receives real time events from an API.
Automatically create a GHL contact when a new Paperless Parts customer is added to the project
Attach project notes to the corresponding GHL contact
Create and assign tasks automatically in GHL based on Paperless Parts milestones
Obtain a GHL API key with the contacts.readonly scope and store securely
Set up Bearer token authentication and map endpoints in Zapier
Run end to end tests and confirm data sync across systems
You can access contacts, tasks, notes, and basic business data from Paperless Parts via the GHL Contacts API. This enables you to build workflows that reflect customer history, upcoming tasks, and related notes. You can read contact details and associated tasks and notes to create a cohesive view across systems. For secure calls, ensure you use a valid Bearer token with the required scope.
No code is not required, especially when using integration tools like Zapier. You can map endpoints and configure triggers and actions without writing code. If your use case grows more complex, you can introduce lightweight scripts or middleware to handle custom data transforms, but most common flows can be built visually.
Data is transmitted over HTTPS with Bearer token authentication. Rotate API keys regularly and store them securely. Use least privilege scopes to limit access and enable logging to monitor changes and access patterns.
For basic sync you will typically need GET /contacts/:contactId to read contact data, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to read tasks, and POST /contacts/ to create new contacts. Depending on your workflow, endpoints for notes and completing tasks may be added.
Yes. You can create tasks from GHL to Paperless Parts by POSTing new tasks to a contact. You can also trigger note creation or task updates based on GHL events to keep both systems in sync.
Store API keys in a secure vault and rotate them on a schedule. Use webhooks or periodic checks to verify tokens. Keep a fallback plan and update configurations promptly when keys rotate.
API documentation for the GHL Contacts API and Paperless Parts integration is available in the developer portal of each service. You can reference endpoint definitions, authentication, and example payloads to implement the connection.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
