Access to the GHL Contacts API uses tokens and a defined scope. Use the given Scope: contacts.readonly and include the Authorization header with every request.
Authorize Roezan SMS against your GHL account using the app’s connected credentials. Store keys securely and rotate them regularly.

Answer: Authentication uses tokens issued by GHL and Roezan SMS. Ensure your app is granted the contacts.readonly scope for read operations and follow best practices for securely storing tokens. Use the Authorization header for every request to the GHL Contacts API. Test credentials in a sandbox environment before going live. Also verify that your Roezan SMS app has the necessary permissions to trigger actions on contacts.
Answer: Start with GET /contacts/:contactId to confirm you can read a contact, then test POST /contacts/ to create a contact, and POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to create tasks. Map fields like name, phone, and email early on, and validate data mappings with sample records. Use the endpoints that cover notes and appointments for additional context.
Answer: Yes. You can update contact fields in GHL when Roezan SMS changes occur. Use PUT /contacts/:contactId and ensure that the payload includes the fields you want to update. Keep data validation in place to avoid overwriting important data unintentionally.
Answer: Real-time sync depends on your configuration and rate limits. You can achieve near real-time updates by triggering on events and polling endpoints at sensible intervals. Use webhooks if available to push updates as they happen.
Answer: If an endpoint returns an error, check the HTTP status code and message, verify credentials, and validate the data payload. Implement retries with exponential backoff and route errors to logs or a notification workflow for quicker fixes.
Answer: No coding is required for standard setups. Use prebuilt triggers, actions, and templates in the app connector to map fields and automate workflows. Some advanced needs may require small scripting or custom fields, but most use cases can be achieved with no-code.
Answer: API rate limits and quotas vary by plan. Refer to the GHL developer docs for current limits and implement caching, pagination, and batched requests to stay within limits. Contact support if you expect higher usage.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
