GHL uses API tokens issued from your account. Use the scope: contacts.readonly to access read only data. Expand permissions only when required
Placid authenticates to GHL using the API token from your GHL console. Store credentials securely and rotate keys as recommended
Core endpoints used by Placid include: 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.
When a contact is updated in GHL Placid fetches the changes and updates the corresponding Placid record

Connecting Placid to the GHL Contacts API does not require coding. Placid provides a no code interface to map endpoints and automate data flows. You can set up credentials and permissions from your GHL account and plug them into Placid securely.
This integration exposes the core endpoints needed to read and write contact data, tasks, notes and appointments. You can fetch a contact with GET /contacts/:contactId, read related tasks and notes with GET endpoints, and create or update items with POST and PUT requests. For example you can create a contact with POST /contacts and manage tasks with POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks.
Security is handled through API tokens issued by GHL. Use the least privilege scope required and rotate tokens regularly. Placid stores credentials securely and uses encrypted connections for all API calls.
Yes. You can filter by businessId when retrieving contacts with GET /contacts/business/:businessId and you can use standard query parameters and field mapping in Placid to search for specific attributes on contacts, tasks and notes.
If an error occurs you will see a returned error code and message. Implement retry logic and refer to the GHL API rate limits. In Placid you can set up error handling workflows to notify your team or pause automations as needed.
Yes. You can trigger automations in Placid when a contact, task or note changes in GHL by using the endpoint driven webhooks style triggers. This keeps your workflows in sync in real time.
Best practices include mapping fields consistently, validating data on both sides, testing end to end, and scheduling periodic reconciliations to handle duplicates and deletions.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
