How to connect RocketReach to Contacts API

RocketReach + Contacts API: A practical integration guide

Connecting Contacts API with RocketReach

This guide explains how to securely connect RocketReach to the GHL Contacts API, covering authentication, endpoint usage, and common workflow patterns. You’ll operate within the scope: contacts.readonly unless you request write access, enabling safe data syncing and enrichment.

Authentication for Contacts API

Authorize every request with your GHL API credentials. Include your API key in the Authorization header and request tokens with the appropriate scope. For read-only access from RocketReach, the scope remains contacts.readonly.

Authentication for RocketReach

In this integration, RocketReach is authenticated using standard OAuth 2.0 or API credentials provided by RocketReach. Store tokens securely, rotate credentials regularly, and ensure secure transmission of all data.

GHL Contacts API Endpoints Used in this Integration

Endpoints used: 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, 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

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the required scope for this integration?

Yes. The integration uses the scope you request for GHL, typically including read permissions (contacts.readonly) and, if needed, write permissions for updates. Always follow the principle of least privilege and request only what’s necessary. Keep credentials secure and rotate them periodically. If you exceed quotas, implement backoff and retry logic.

You can access notes, tasks, and appointments through dedicated endpoints. While core contact data is central, supporting endpoints for tasks and notes enable richer enrichment workflows. Ensure your app handles related IDs correctly to maintain data integrity across systems.

Yes, provided your app is granted write access. You can create or update contacts, tasks, and notes in GHL from RocketReach using the appropriate endpoints. Always validate mappings before writing and log changes for auditability.

If RocketReach data updates, the integration can push those changes to GHL on a scheduled cadence or in near real-time, depending on your configuration. Implement idempotent operations to prevent duplicate records and use version or updated_at fields to reconcile differences.

API rate limits apply. Plan your sync frequency, batch large updates when possible, and handle 429 responses with exponential backoff. Monitor quotas and optimize field mappings to minimize unnecessary calls.

Yes. The integration is designed to be no-code friendly, with visual workflow builders and clear mappings between RocketReach fields and GHL contacts, tasks, notes, and tags. You can adjust triggers and actions without writing code.

Error logs and debugging information can be viewed within your integration console or app portal. Enable verbose logging during setup, and route logs to your preferred observability tool. If issues arise, consult the docs or reach out to support.
