Access to the Contacts API requires OAuth 2.0 with the scope contacts.readonly. Obtain an access token through your GHL developer credentials and include it in your API calls.
PostGrid Print & Mail authenticates requests via its API key or supported OAuth method. Securely store credentials, rotate keys regularly, and test in a sandbox if available.

Trigger when a new contact is created in the Contacts API via POST /contacts/.
Actions include creating a print task in PostGrid, selecting a template, and attaching the contact data for personalized mailers.
Methods used: POST /contacts/ to create, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to start a print task.
Key fields: contactId, name, email, address, printingTemplateId, jobId
Trigger when contact data is updated in the Contacts API via PUT /contacts/:contactId.
Actions: update notes in PostGrid, adjust print status, and optionally create follow up tasks.
Methods used: PUT /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, status, lastUpdated, notes
Trigger when a print job completes for a contact.
Actions: add or update a tag on the contact to reflect the print event, such as Printed-TemplateA-Date.
Path: POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
Key fields: contactId, tag
No code automation lets you build workflows without writing code, speeding setup and iteration.
Faster time to value by connecting CRM data to print and mail operations in minutes.
Consistent data flow reduces errors across contact data, tasks, and printed mail.
Overview of data elements and process flows used by this integration, including contacts, tasks, notes, and print events.
Application Programming Interface; a set of rules that lets apps talk to each other.
Authorization framework that enables secure access to APIs with tokens.
A method for apps to send real time data to each other as events occur.
A specific URL where an API can be accessed to perform actions or fetch data.
Automatically export new signups to a mail-ready format in PostGrid and queue a print job.
Update print templates when contact status changes and trigger automatic mailings.
Use tags derived from contact activity to segment mail campaigns and tailor printing content.
Obtain API keys for the Contacts API and configure your PostGrid credentials in the app settings.
Set OAuth 2.0 flow, request the contacts.readonly scope, and test token requests.
Use a sandbox environment to validate triggers and actions, then deploy to production with monitoring.
The Contacts API exposes contacts, notes, tasks, and appointments associated with each contact. You can read contact details, fetch related tasks or notes, and pull appointment data to inform print and mail workflows. Access is governed by your OAuth token and the scope you request.
No coding is required for basic integrations using prebuilt connectors and webhooks. For advanced logic, you can add custom steps, conditions, and actions in your automation platform. The API endpoints are designed to be straightforward to call from automation flows.
Authentication is done via OAuth 2.0 with a token representing a user or app. You’ll request the appropriate scope, obtain an access token, and include it in the Authorization header of each request. Refresh tokens are used to maintain access.
Yes. You can trigger print or mail tasks automatically when certain contact events occur, such as new contact creation or status updates. Use webhooks or polling in your automation to kick off PostGrid actions.
Rate limits depend on the provider configuration. Plan for burst events and implement exponential backoff in your automation to handle temporary throttling gracefully.
When contact data updates, you can propagate those changes to print templates, tasks, and notes in PostGrid. Webhook events ensure timely reflection of CRM updates in your print and mail workflows.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
