Authenticate the GHL Contacts API using OAuth 2.0. Request the contacts.readonly scope to securely access contact data from RingCentral and keep permissions minimal.
Set up OAuth 2.0 credentials in RingCentral to authorize calls from GHL. Save clientId and clientSecret and configure the callback URL.
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: Retrieve a single contact by ID from RingCentral to pull its core fields.
Actions: Fetch the contact details, then map fields like name, email, and phone into GHL; include related data if available.
GET /contacts/:contactId
contactId
Trigger: Retrieve tasks for a specific contact.
Actions: Retrieve /contacts/:contactId/tasks and map task details (id, title, due, status) back to GHL Task records.
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
contactId
Trigger: Retrieve the full list of contacts for syncing.
Actions: Fetch /contacts/ and map contact records (id, name, phone, email) to GHL.
GET /contacts/
none (paginated; handle page/limit if needed)

Trigger automations when RingCentral events occur, such as new calls or updated contacts.
Register your RingCentral app to obtain client credentials and set the redirect URL.
Request the contacts.readonly scope and any additional permissions needed for your data flow.
Run tests, verify mappings, and deploy the integration to production.
The GHL Contacts API provides a structured interface to read and synchronize contact data, tasks, notes, and related items between GHL and external apps like RingCentral. This guide shows how to authenticate, call endpoints, and map fields so data stays consistent across systems. By using the defined endpoints, you can pull contact details and related data into GHL to enrich records and automate workflows.
To access RingCentral data through the GHL Contacts API, you typically request the contacts.readonly scope. This keeps data access limited to reading contacts. If you later need to modify data, you would request additional scopes and implement appropriate token handling and permissions.
Yes. The endpoint set includes tasks, notes, and appointments tied to contacts. You can sync these items into GHL as related records, enabling a complete view of activity and history for each contact. Map fields to match your GHL schema and keep data in sync.
Testing is best done in a sandbox or by using test credentials. Validate OAuth flows, ensure endpoints return expected fields, and verify that data mappings produce accurate records in GHL. Review logs for errors and adjust transformation rules as needed.
API rate limits apply to both RingCentral and GHL endpoints. Monitor usage, implement retries with backoff, and consider batching requests where possible to minimize limits while maintaining data freshness.
Both RingCentral and GHL offer testing environments where you can validate authentication and data flow without affecting live data. Use these environments to verify mappings and end-to-end sync before going production.
Data mapping aligns RingCentral fields with GHL Contacts fields, such as name, email, phone, and IDs. Transformation rules help shape incoming data to fit the GHL schema, ensuring consistency and preventing duplication.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
