Requests to the GHL Contacts API must be authorized using an API key or OAuth token with the scope set to contacts.readonly. Keep credentials secure.
RentCheck uses your GHL credentials to authorize access to Contacts data. Store keys or tokens securely and rotate them regularly.
GET /contacts/:contactId; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id; GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments; GET /contacts/; GET /contacts/business/:businessId; contacts.write; 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: New or updated contact in RentCheck prompts retrieval of the latest details from GHL.
Actions: GET /contacts/:contactId to retrieve profile; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to list tasks; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes to pull notes; GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments for calendar.
GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, noteId, taskId
Trigger: RentCheck edits trigger a corresponding update in GHL.
Actions: PUT /contacts/:contactId to update contact; POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to create a task.
PUT /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, taskId
Trigger: New or updated task in RentCheck triggers creation or updates in GHL.
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed
Key fields: contactId, taskId
Automate data flow between RentCheck and GHL without writing code.
Real-time sync of contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments via Zapier triggers.
Build scalable workflows with minimal setup using ready-made actions.
This glossary covers endpoints, authentication, and common field names used to link RentCheck with GHL via the Contacts API.
A URL path exposed by the API to perform a specific action, such as retrieving a contact.
The method used to prove identity and authorize requests (API keys or OAuth tokens).
An individual record within RentCheck synchronized with GHL Contacts data.
A callback mechanism for real-time updates from the API to RentCheck or vice versa.
Automatically create a RentCheck contact in GHL and assign onboarding tasks.
Send task progress updates from GHL back to RentCheck channels via Zapier.
Trigger reminders for contract renewals by syncing data between RentCheck and GHL.
Obtain an API key or OAuth token from GHL with the correct scope (contacts.readonly) and securely store it in RentCheck.
Map contactId, businessId, taskId, and related fields to RentCheck fields; configure endpoint paths.
Run test requests, check logs, set retries, and monitor success vs failure rates.
The Contacts API provides access to contact records, their tasks, notes, and appointments. You can read and retrieve related data to keep RentCheck in sync with GHL. This enables a unified view of client activity across platforms. The API supports filtering and paging to help you pull only the data you need.
No heavy coding is required when using the Zapier App Connector. You can connect RentCheck to the GHL Contacts API with pre-built triggers and actions, then map fields to automate workflows without writing custom code.
Authentication is done via an API key or OAuth token issued by GHL. Ensure the token has the required scope (e.g., contacts.readonly) and store credentials securely in RentCheck. Rotate credentials regularly and monitor access.
Rate limits and quotas are defined by the GHL API. Plan for retries with exponential backoff and implement error handling for 429 responses. Refer to the API docs for the latest limits and best practices.
Yes. You can update contacts and related data using PUT, POST, and DELETE endpoints (for example, PUT /contacts/:contactId and POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks). Ensure proper permissions and data validation in RentCheck.
If requests fail, verify credentials and scopes, check endpoint paths, review response codes, and inspect logs. Test endpoints with a tool like curl or Postman, then retry with backoff and proper error handling.
For syncing, start with GET /contacts/:contactId to pull profiles, then use related endpoints (tasks, notes, appointments) to build a complete picture. Use POST/PUT for updates where appropriate and align data fields between RentCheck and GHL.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
