Authenticate the GHL Contacts API securely using tokens with the proper scope to access contact data from Remember The Milk.
Remember The Milk requires its API token for access; grant your app the necessary read and write permissions to contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments.
Endpoints used include GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch a contact, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks for tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes for notes, GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments for calendar items, GET /contacts/ to list contacts, GET /contacts/business/:businessId, and the full set for creating, updating, and deleting contacts and related data (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).
Trigger: When Remember The Milk updates a contact’s tasks, retrieve them with GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks and push updates into GHL as related tasks.
Actions: create or update GHL tasks, associate them with the corresponding contact, and reflect completion status back to MTM as needed.
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: contactId, taskId, title, dueDate, completed
Trigger: new or updated notes in MTM; fetch via GET /contacts/:contactId/notes and sync to GHL notes.
Actions: create/update notes in GHL and attach them to the related contact record.
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
Key fields: contactId, id, content, createdAt
Trigger: MTM tags or business data changes; map to GHL tags and drive automations.
Actions: assign tags in GHL, enable automations, and drive targeted campaigns.
POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
Key fields: contactId, tag, tagId
Automate data flow between Remember The Milk and the Contacts API without writing code.
Keep contact records in sync with tasks, notes, and appointments across both services.
Trigger GHL automations from MTM events to accelerate outreach and follow-ups.
Key elements include contacts, tasks, notes, appointments, and tags; processes cover authentication, API calls, field mappings, error handling, and monitoring.
A person stored in MTM and synced to GHL as a contact record.
A to-do item linked to a contact in MTM; used to track actions and deadlines.
A text entry associated with a contact in MTM; visible in GHL as a note.
A scheduled event tied to a contact in MTM; can sync to the calendar in GHL.
Set up a webhook to generate a Remember The Milk task when a GHL deal reaches a milestone.
Sync Remember The Milk notes to the GHL contact activity feed for richer context.
Map MTM tags to GHL tags to auto-enroll contacts in targeted sequences.
Obtain API tokens for both systems and grant appropriate scopes to read and write contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments.
Map fields between MTM and GHL (name, email, phone) and wire endpoints like GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to GHL fields.
Run test syncs, enable automations, and set up dashboards to monitor health and errors.
Authentication uses tokens issued by the GHL API and Remember The Milk. Start by creating a connected app and requesting the necessary scopes for contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments. Store tokens securely and refresh them as needed to maintain access.
For a basic sync you’ll typically use: GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, and GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments. Use POST/PUT where updates are required in either system.
Yes. You can read and write tasks, notes, and appointments between MTM and the Contacts API, subject to token scopes and rate limits. Use proper error handling to reconcile conflicts.
You don’t need to code from scratch if you use an automation layer, but some basic configuration of endpoints and field mappings is useful.
Rate limits are handled by both platforms. Implement exponential backoff and retry logic, and cache responses where possible to avoid repeated calls.
This pattern can connect MTM with other apps that expose similar endpoints; you can adapt mappings and automations for additional systems.
Consult the official API docs for GHL and Remember The Milk, plus their developer portals for example payloads, rate limits, and auth flows.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
