Access to the GHL Contacts endpoints requires a valid API key with the appropriate scope (contacts.readonly). Use secure storage for tokens and map permissions to your Parsio workflow.
Configure Parsio to authenticate against the GHL Contacts API using OAuth or API keys. Store credentials securely and rotate them periodically.
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: a new contact is parsed in Parsio and created or updated in GHL.
Actions: create or update contact in GHL; optionally add tasks or notes.
Method path: POST /contacts/ to create, or PUT /contacts/:contactId to update existing contacts.
Key fields: contactId, email, firstName, lastName, phone, status
Trigger: new or updated contact in Parsio triggers task and note creation in GHL.
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, POST /contacts/:contactId/notes, update fields as needed.
Method path: POST for new tasks and notes, PUT or PATCH for updates.
Key fields: contactId, taskId, notesId
Trigger: Parsio captures appointment data and creates or updates GHL appointments.
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/appointments or PUT to update
Method path: POST /contacts/:contactId/appointments; PUT /contacts/:contactId/appointments/:appointmentId
Key fields: contactId, appointmentId, startTime, endTime
Automate data flow between Parsio and GHL with triggers and actions—no custom code required.
Build reliable workflows that run on demand or on schedule to keep data fresh.
Centralize contact, task, and appointment data in GHL for better outreach and pipelines.
Key concepts you’ll encounter when integrating Parsio with the GHL Contacts API, including endpoints, authentication, and data mapping.
Application Programming Interface; the set of rules that allow Parsio to talk to the GHL Contacts API.
The process of proving identity to access GHL resources, using API keys or OAuth.
A specific URL path in the GHL API that performs a function such as retrieving a contact or creating a task.
A callback mechanism that notifies Parsio of events in GHL, enabling real-time syncing.
Configure Parsio to push new parsed contacts directly into GHL as leads, with essential fields mapped for immediate outreach.
Automatically apply tags in GHL based on parsed attributes and route contacts to appropriate pipelines or campaigns.
When Parsio detects certain signals, schedule follow-ups in GHL to stay engaged with new contacts.
In GHL, generate an API key with the contacts.readonly scope and save securely.
In Parsio, configure the GHL connector, paste API credentials, and map contact fields.
Run test syncs, verify data integrity, and set up error alerts to monitor the connection.
You should use an API key with the appropriate scope (typically contacts.readonly) or OAuth credentials to access the GHL Contacts API. Store credentials securely in a secrets manager and rotate them regularly. Validate permissions to ensure Parsio can read contact data as needed. In production, test credentials in a sandbox or staging environment before going live. The goal is to minimize latency and prevent unauthorized access while keeping data safe.
No heavy coding is required. Parsio’s built-in integration capabilities and webhooks allow you to connect to the GHL Contacts API with configuration and field mapping. You may perform advanced mapping, triggers, and actions via the UI. If you need custom logic beyond the UI, lightweight scripting or automation can be added, but a full dev cycle is not necessary for standard use cases.
For retrieving data, use GET endpoints such as GET /contacts/:contactId to pull contact details, and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks or notes to fetch related items. For creating or updating data, POST /contacts/ and PUT /contacts/:contactId are common. Use POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks and POST /contacts/:contactId/notes for associated items. These endpoints cover core syncing use cases.
Yes. You can update existing records by identifying the correct contact in GHL (via contactId or unique fields like email) and issuing PUT /contacts/:contactId with updated fields. For related data, use the corresponding endpoints (tasks, notes, or appointments) to update or replace information. Always test updates in a safe environment before applying to production data.
Authenticate using API keys or OAuth. Keep tokens in a secure vault and rotate them periodically. If a token expires or is revoked, re-authenticate and re-test the connection. Implement error handling and automatic retries with exponential backoff to maintain resilience.
Rate limits exist for API calls; plan your sync frequency accordingly. Use batching where possible and implement backoff on 429 responses. Monitoring and alerts help you stay within quotas while preserving data freshness across Parsio and GHL.
If the connection fails, check authentication status, review error logs, and verify endpoint availability. Reauthorize credentials if needed, re-run tests, and monitor for recurring errors. If issues persist, consult documentation or reach out to support for guidance.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
