To access data, obtain an API key and OAuth credentials, then use the scope ‘contacts.readonly’ for read access or broader scopes for write operations.
Configure OAuth 2.0 with your GHL account, authorize Red Spot Interactive, and securely store tokens in your app.
GET /contacts/:contactId – Retrieve a single contact; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks – List tasks for a contact; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId – Get a specific task; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes – List notes; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id – Get note; GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments – List appointments; GET /contacts/ – List contacts; GET /contacts/business/:businessId – List by business; contacts.write – Write access flag; POST /contacts/ – Create contact; PUT /contacts/:contactId – Update contact; DELETE /contacts/:contactId – Delete contact; POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks – Create task; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId – Update task; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed – Mark task complete; DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId – Delete task; POST /contacts/:contactId/tags – Add tag
Trigger: a contact is created or updated in Red Spot Interactive, then a corresponding contact is synchronized in GHL and related tasks are generated.
Actions: create or update the contact in GHL; create tasks linked to the contact’s activity.
GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: id, email, firstName, lastName, status
Trigger: notes or tasks are added/updated for a contact
Actions: create or update notes and tasks in GHL for that contact
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
Fields: contactId, noteId, content
Trigger: a new appointment is created in Red Spot Interactive
Actions: create or update the appointment in GHL
GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments
Fields: appointmentId, date, time, status
Automations run without writing code, saving time and reducing human error.
Data flows are consistent across platforms, improving accuracy.
Faster onboarding and better reporting with a unified data view.
Key elements include endpoints, triggers, actions, and data fields; processes describe the data flow between GHL and Red Spot Interactive.
A set of rules that allows applications to communicate and exchange data.
An authorization framework that grants access to user data without sharing passwords.
A specific URL in an API used to perform a function, such as retrieving a contact.
Defined access level granted by an authorization process.
Pull external data for new contacts and append notes in GHL automatically.
Create tasks in GHL based on Red Spot events to keep teams aligned.
Sync appointment data to GHL and trigger calendar invites from Red Spot events.
Obtain API key and OAuth client ID; ensure scope includes contacts.readonly.
Enter client secret, set redirect URI, and test with sample requests to endpoints 1–3.
Run end-to-end tests, monitor logs, and confirm data integrity across systems.
You can access core contact data such as name, email, phone, notes, and related tasks or appointments via the Contacts API. The exact fields depend on the permissions granted by your GHL account and the endpoints you call. Ensure you request the appropriate scope for the data you need.
No coding is required for many no-code integration setups. You can use connectors or automation tools to map fields and create workflows between Red Spot Interactive and GHL. Advanced use may require a small amount of scripting or custom endpoints if your scenario is complex.
For read-only access, use scope like contacts.readonly. For write access, you may need broader scopes such as contacts.write or full access depending on your setup. Always follow least-privilege principles.
To test endpoints, use a sandbox or test environment and call the endpoints (e.g., GET /contacts/:contactId) with a test contact. Validate responses, status codes, and error handling. Confirm authentication works before proceeding.
Yes. You can create new contacts and update existing ones via endpoints such as POST /contacts/ and PUT /contacts/:contactId. Use appropriate scopes and ensure data validation on both sides.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan and endpoint type. If you approach limits, implement exponential backoff and caching strategies to reduce repeated calls.
If you encounter authentication failures, re-check credentials, refresh tokens, and verify that the redirect URI matches the one registered in your GHL app. Review error messages to determine the root cause.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
