This guide shows how to authorize, connect endpoints, and automate data flow between the Contacts API and the Phone-com app using the GHL platform.

Authorization for Contacts API access

Grant read-only access to your Contacts data to the Phone-com integration using the Contacts API scope: contacts.readonly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the scope required for this integration?

The integration uses the contacts.readonly scope to securely pull contact data into Phone-com. This ensures you can view but not modify core contact details from the Phone-com side. For write operations, use the appropriate API credentials in a controlled environment. Always follow least-privilege principles and rotate credentials regularly.

You will interact with endpoints that fetch contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments such as GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, and GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments. Additional endpoints support listing all contacts and managing related data.

Yes. The POST and PUT endpoints allow creating and updating contact records, and you can leverage the tags endpoint to organize contacts. Ensure you handle conflicts and maintain data integrity when syncing from Phone-com.

Notes and tasks are supported. You can read notes and tasks via the corresponding endpoints; create or update actions are supported where listed (tasks) and can be extended with custom automation if needed.

Data sync can be near real-time, depending on your Zapier polling frequency and the API rate limits. You can optimize by batching requests and using efficient field mappings.

No heavy coding is required. Use the Zapier App Connector and prebuilt actions to connect the Contacts API with Phone-com. Some light configuration and mapping are needed.

API rate limits and authentication details are available in your GHL developer docs and in the App Connector configuration. If you need more, consult your API key management and OAuth setup pages.
