Authenticate the GHL Contacts API using API keys or OAuth. Use the minimum scope needed (contacts.readonly to start) and store credentials securely in RSS Ground.
Connect RSS Ground to GHL by providing the RSS Ground access token or API key. Use secure storage and test the connection before running automations.
Endpoints reference (examples): 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
Trigger: When a contact is created or updated in GHL, RSS Ground creates or updates the corresponding contact record.
Actions: Create or update a contact in GHL; assign tags; set notes; attach tasks.
Method path: POST /contacts/ to create, PUT /contacts/:contactId to update
Key fields: contactId, email, firstName, lastName
Trigger: A contact’s task is updated in GHL; RSS Ground syncs the change.
Actions: Create or update tasks in GHL; mark task as completed; link to notes.
Method path: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed
Key fields: contactId, taskId, title, status
Trigger: A note is added to a contact in GHL; RSS Ground stores the note.
Actions: Create note in GHL from RSS Ground; attach to contact; update notes history.
Method path: POST /contacts/:contactId/notes, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
Key fields: contactId, noteId, content
Visual automation editor lets you map GHL data to RSS Ground without writing code.
Fast setup and testing, enabling live automations in minutes.
Built-in error handling, retries, and logging for reliable workflows.
Core concepts: API endpoints, triggers, actions, authentication, and data mapping help you design reliable integrations.
A defined URL path in the GHL API that allows operations like retrieving, creating, or updating data.
An event in GHL or RSS Ground that starts an automation within Zapier.
An operation performed in response to a trigger, such as creating or updating a contact, task, or note.
The process of proving identity and granting access to APIs via API keys or OAuth tokens.
Set up a zap to tag new or updated contacts in GHL based on RSS Ground triggers for targeted campaigns.
When an RSS item arrives, create a follow-up task in GHL linked to the related contact.
Store RSS Ground notes as GHL contact notes to preserve history and context.
Enter your RSS Ground and GHL credentials in RSS Ground and authorize the connection.
Select triggers from GHL and map to RSS Ground actions to build the workflow.
Run test events, verify data sync, and enable the automation in Zapier.
RSS Ground provides a no-code bridge to connect the GHL Contacts API with Zapier-based automations. You can trigger actions in RSS Ground from GHL events and push data back to GHL. This page shows how to authorize and test the connection, and demonstrates common workflows like creating/updating contacts, managing tasks, and logging notes.
Yes. You can set up most integrations without writing code using the RSS Ground visual workflow builder and Zapier. For complex data mappings or custom logic, you may add small conditional steps or formulas, but no full coding is required.
You can authenticate with an API key or OAuth tokens, depending on your setup and security requirements. When using RSS Ground, store credentials securely and limit scopes to what’s needed (like contacts.readonly) to minimize risk.
Common endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, POST /contacts/, and PUT /contacts/:contactId. Review the Endpoint List on this page for full references and ensure mappings align with your data model.
Test the integration by running sample triggers in RSS Ground and observing the resulting actions in GHL. Use test data to verify fields map correctly. Check Zapier task history and RSS Ground logs to confirm success and adjust mappings as needed.
Notes and tasks are typically synced from GHL to RSS Ground. Two-way syncing is possible but may require webhooks and careful conflict resolution. Always test conflict behavior and define clear rules to avoid duplicates.
Endpoint references are available in this page under Endpoint List, and in the GHL API documentation. Use the Endpoint List section to locate paths and required fields quickly, and export references for your team as templates.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
