Authenticate requests using your GHL API key or OAuth token and include it in the Authorization header. Start with a read-only scope to explore, then request additional permissions as needed.
In Qwilr, connect the GHL Contacts API by entering your API credentials and selecting the appropriate access scope for your intended workflows.

Automate data-rich Qwilr pages by pulling live contact details into proposals.
Create powerful, code-free automations between CRM and Qwilr to speed up approvals.
Keep proposals up to date with synchronized tasks, notes, and contact status.
This glossary covers common elements and processes: endpoints, triggers, actions, methods, and data fields used when linking Qwilr with the Contacts API.
A person in your CRM whose information is accessed via the Contacts API.
A to-do item tied to a contact that tracks progress and completion.
Comments or updates that are stored for a contact.
A specific API route you can call to perform an action or retrieve data.
Auto-fill quotes with contact details and recent interactions to speed up sales cycles.
Update brochures automatically when tasks change, ensuring the right people see current information.
Attach notes to outbound messages to tailor follow-ups.
Enter your API key, set scope to contacts.readonly for testing, then request higher permissions for production use.
Choose endpoints you need, and map CRM fields to Qwilr variables to populate content.
Test the connection with a sample contact, verify data flow, then deploy to production.
Yes. Start with the read-only scope to safely explore data without making changes. Use GET endpoints to retrieve information and understand how data flows. When you’re ready, request additional permissions to perform updates or create new records. To keep your environment safe, test in a sandbox or staging workspace before moving to production.
Your API key should be treated as a secret. Store it securely, rotate regularly, and never expose it in client-side code. Use HTTPS for all requests and apply least-privilege access by selecting the minimum scope needed for each workflow.
If you’re just getting started, try GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch a contact’s data and validate field mappings. This helps you understand the data structure before moving to writes. Gradually expand to related endpoints as you confirm field mappings and permissions.
Yes, you can update contacts using PUT /contacts/:contactId, provided your API key has write access. Plan and test the update flow carefully to avoid unintended changes to live records. Always validate responses and verify error handling in your integration.
Test the connection with a known test contact or a sandbox environment. Use a controlled set of data, monitor responses, and verify that data flows correctly into Qwilr outputs or documents. Utilize mock campaigns to confirm triggers and actions without impacting real customers.
There are rate limits on API requests. If you hit the limit, you may receive 429 responses; implement exponential backoff and retries. Optimize field mappings and endpoint usage to stay within quotas.
While this guide focuses on Qwilr, the RESTful endpoints and common credentials approach can be used with other apps that support REST connections. Ensure you review each app’s authentication and field-mapping requirements for best results.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
