Frequently Asked Questions

What data can I access with the GHL Contacts API?

The GHL Contacts API lets you retrieve contact records, including basic fields like name, email, and phone, as well as related data such as tasks, notes, and appointments. You can filter, sort, and read details for use in Plutio workflows. With the 17 endpoints listed, you can build cross-app automations such as syncing contact updates to Plutio clients, creating tasks from GHL, and attaching notes for context.

No heavy coding is required if you use a no-code connector or Zap-like workflow. The GHL Contacts API can be accessed via standard HTTP requests and mapped to Plutio fields. For custom needs, you may configure simple scripts or use the Zapier App Connector to handle data transformation and error handling.

Writing data back is possible for supported endpoints (like creating tasks or notes) if enabled in your scope. Some endpoints are read-only by default. Always verify permissions and test in a sandbox before going live, since write access may be restricted by your account settings.

Secure authentication is achieved with OAuth tokens or API keys. Store secrets in a protected vault and rotate credentials regularly. When configuring the Plutio connector, use the least-privilege scope (read-only where possible) and apply IP whitelisting and encrypted connections.

/contacts provides access to the collection of all contacts; /contacts/:contactId retrieves a single contact with its details and related items. Use the collection endpoint to enumerate contacts and the item endpoint to fetch or update a specific contact’s data, notes, tasks, and more.

Yes. You can manage tasks and notes via endpoints 2,3,4,5,6,13-17 depending on the scope and permissions. This enables cross-app task creation and note capture. Map fields in Plutio to the GHL data model to keep records in sync and avoid duplicates.

Official endpoint docs are typically available in the GHL developer portal or your account’s API docs section. Look for ‘Contacts API’ and the ‘Endpoints’ list. If you can’t access docs, contact your administrator to enable API access and request the endpoint reference.
