Access to the Contacts API requires a scoped API key with at least readonly permissions. Use your GHL developer credentials to generate a token with scope = contacts.readonly, and store credentials securely.
To securely connect Perfect Venue to GHL, configure OAuth 2.0 or API key-based authentication as supported. Whitelist your app’s redirect URI and exchange client credentials for access tokens when needed.
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 Note: The list above covers the core endpoints used in this integration. Additional endpoints exist in the API docs; use them as needed for advanced workflows.
Trigger: when a contact is created or updated in Contacts API.
Action: create or update the corresponding contact in Perfect Venue; sync related notes and tasks as needed.
Sample method paths: GET /contacts/:contactId to pull details; POST /contacts/ to create a new contact.
Map id, email, fullName, phone, company, customFields
Trigger: task or note creation or update on a contact.
Action: create corresponding tasks and notes in Perfect Venue and link them to the venue record.
Sample methods: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
taskId, subject, dueDate, status; noteId, noteText
Trigger: when tags are added or removed from a contact.
Action: propagate tag changes to Perfect Venue and adjust audience segments for campaigns.
Sample: POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
tags array; primaryTag; segments
Eliminate manual data entry by syncing contacts, tasks, and notes automatically.
Speed up onboarding of new venues with real-time data availability in Perfect Venue.
Reduce errors with consistent data mapping and validation rules.
This glossary explains terms and processes used in the GHL to Perfect Venue integration.
Application Programming Interface: a defined set of endpoints and rules that allow two apps to communicate.
A secure authorization framework that lets apps obtain access tokens to call APIs without sharing passwords.
A mechanism for real-time notifications from GHL to Perfect Venue when data changes.
Rules and triggers that automatically synchronize data and drive workflows.
When a new contact is added, a venue profile is automatically generated in Perfect Venue with key fields populated.
Create follow-up tasks in Perfect Venue based on contact activity such as notes or upcoming appointments.
Automatically tag contacts by behavior and sync segments for targeted outreach.
Obtain API keys, client IDs, and redirect URIs from your GHL account and register the Perfect Venue app.
Map endpoints to your data model in Perfect Venue and set request headers and authentication.
Run test requests, verify data mapping, and monitor for errors in real time.
No code is required for basic syncing. Use no-code automation to connect endpoints and map fields. For advanced scenarios, you can leverage webhooks and automation rules. This setup is designed for both non-developers and developers.\n\nTip: start with a basic sync and gradually add tasks, notes, and tags as you validate the data flow.
For basic syncing, you typically need endpoints to read contacts, and optionally endpoints to read and create tasks/notes. Use GET /contacts/:contactId and POST /contacts/ to create, along with mapping fields such as id, email, name, and phone. You can extend with tags using POST /contacts/:contactId/tags.
Authentication uses API keys with the specified scope. Store credentials securely and rotate them periodically. Where supported, use OAuth 2.0 and limit access to read-only if needed.
Data export is possible via API calls to pull data from GHL and import into Perfect Venue. Two-way sync requires conflict resolution and clear mapping rules. Always consider API rate limits when exporting large datasets.
Custom fields can be mapped by including their IDs in the payload. Read and write custom fields via the API, ensuring data types align with Perfect Venue fields.
If an API call fails, the system should retry with exponential backoff and log the error. Use monitoring dashboards to identify root causes and adjust mappings or permissions as needed.
Rate limits vary by endpoint and plan. Refer to the GHL API documentation for quotas. Design the integration to batch requests and handle retries gracefully.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
