Authenticate Perplexity to the GHL Contacts API using OAuth 2.0. Create an API app in GHL, obtain a client ID and secret, and grant the contacts.readonly scope to access data securely.
In Perplexity, configure an OAuth client and establish the token exchange. Use the access token to call the Contacts API and refresh tokens as needed.

Trigger: When a contact is selected in Perplexity, fetch the latest profile details from GHL.
Actions: Retrieve contact profile, notes, and upcoming tasks; create or update tasks as needed.
GET /contacts/:contactId
id, name, email, phone, owner, tags, customFields
Trigger: Access a contact’s task list when viewing the contact in Perplexity
Actions: List tasks, filter by status, mark complete, create new task
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
taskId, title, status, dueDate, assignee
Trigger: Open a task to view details or update status
Actions: Retrieve, update task details, set completed
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId
taskId, title, status, dueDate, note
No-code setup lets you go live quickly with drag-and-drop builders and prebuilt actions.
Automated data sync ensures contact data stays up-to-date across Perplexity and GHL.
Scalable workflows with triggers, conditions, and multi-step paths.
Key elements include endpoints, authentication, data mapping, and workflow orchestration between Perplexity and the GHL Contacts API.
Application Programming Interface; a set of rules that enables apps to talk to each other and request data.
A specific URL path in an API that performs an action or returns data.
Authorization framework that grants tokens to access resources securely.
A mechanism for real-time data delivery via HTTP POST when events occur.
Automatically pull enrichment data into Perplexity when a contact is opened.
Create tasks in Perplexity based on GHL events to drive follow-ups.
Build dashboards that visualize cross-app activity between GHL and Perplexity.
Create an OAuth client in GHL, note the client ID and secret, and set redirect URLs.
Request the contacts.readonly scope and align endpoints to your needs (GET/POST/PUT as required).
Run tests with sample contacts, then deploy the integration and monitor logs for errors.
Perplexity can read contact data, notes, tasks, and appointments via the Contacts API. The exact fields exposed depend on the granted scope and permissions. Ensure you request only what you need for your workflows. In the second paragraph, consider how teams will leverage live data in Perplexity to stay aligned with GHL data.
Authentication is done with OAuth 2.0. You obtain a token from GHL and present it to Perplexity to access resources. Tokens should be refreshed before expiry to maintain seamless automation. In the second paragraph, note best practices for securely storing tokens.
The primary endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, and more. You can orchestrate read and write operations across contacts, tasks, notes, and tags in Perplexity. In the second paragraph, mention you can combine endpoints to create end-to-end workflows.
Yes. If you have the necessary permission (contacts.write), you can create, update, and delete contacts and related resources from Perplexity. In the second paragraph, emphasize appropriate validation and error handling.
Use a test environment or sandbox if available. Start with a small set of sample contacts to validate authentication, permissions, and data mapping. In the second paragraph, describe how to run test requests and review responses.
Yes, rate limits apply to API calls. Plan your requests, implement retry strategies, and respect back-off guidelines as documented. In the second paragraph, mention monitoring and alerting for rate-limit events.
API documentation for the GHL Contacts API covers endpoints, authentication, data formats, and examples. Access it in the GHL developer docs. In the second paragraph, suggest bookmarking the specific endpoints used in Perplexity workflows.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
