Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need coding to connect PhantomBuster to GHL?

You do not need to code. The PhantomBuster to GHL integration is designed for no code workflows. Use triggers, actions, and data mapping to move data between PhantomBuster and the GHL Contacts API. If you are comfortable with basic configuration, you can set up most automations in minutes. For advanced needs, you can still leverage the API endpoints via PhantomBuster to customize behavior.

The Contacts API exposes endpoints to read contact data, tasks, notes, and appointments. You can pull contactId, email, name, and related items like tasks and notes. You can also create or update contacts, manage tasks, and tag contacts as part of automation.

Security is handled via OAuth 2.0 with scoped permissions. Data is accessed only for the authenticated PhantomBuster connection, and you can rotate tokens. Always use secure storage for credentials and adhere to least-privilege principles by limiting scopes to what you need.

Yes. You can configure PhantomBuster to create new contacts and schedule tasks automatically. This enables lead capture, onboarding steps, and follow-ups without writing code.

Requests are authenticated using OAuth 2.0 tokens from your PhantomBuster connection. Include the access token in requests and refresh tokens as needed. Never expose tokens in public or insecure channels.

Rate limits depend on your GHL plan. In most use cases, ordinary automation remains within safe limits. For high-volume workloads, stagger requests and implement backoff strategies to avoid throttling.

Endpoint details are available in the endpoint list above. Each endpoint shows the HTTP method and the path, along with the typical data fields you will send or receive. Use the mapping guides to align PhantomBuster fields with GHL fields.
