Use your GHL API credentials to securely access endpoints like reading and writing contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments.
Connect Salescaptain to GHL by configuring OAuth keys and API credentials in the App Connector settings, enabling secure data flow between both systems.
GET /contacts/:contactId — Retrieve a single contact GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks — Retrieve tasks for a contact GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Retrieve a specific task GET /contacts/:contactId/notes — Retrieve notes for a contact GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id — Retrieve a specific note GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments — Retrieve appointments for a contact GET /contacts/ — List all contacts GET /contacts/business/:businessId — List contacts for a business contacts.write — Create or modify contact permissions POST /contacts/ — Create a new contact PUT /contacts/:contactId — Update a contact DELETE /contacts/:contactId — Delete a contact POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks — Create a task for a contact PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Update a task PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed — Mark a task as completed DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Delete a task POST /contacts/:contactId/tags — Add tags to a contact
Trigger: a contact is updated in Salescaptain, or a related field changes, which prompts a fetch from the Contacts API.
Actions: upsert the contact in Contacts API, pull related tasks and notes, and refresh tags.
GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, email, and status
Trigger: new contact created in Salescaptain.
Actions: POST /contacts/ to create in Contacts API; return new contactId for downstream steps.
POST /contacts/
Key fields: email, firstName, lastName
Trigger: a task is created or updated for a contact in Salescaptain.
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed.
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed
Key fields: contactId, taskId, status
No‑code setup with drag‑and‑drop builders lets you map fields and automate data flows without writing code.
Visual triggers and actions enable rapid rollout across teams.
Error handling and retries keep data in sync even when APIs experience temporary issues.
This glossary defines API, endpoint, trigger, action, and workflow concepts used to connect Salescaptain with the Contacts API.
Application programming interface that enables data exchange between systems. In this guide, API refers to the GHL Contacts API you use to read and write contact data.
An event in one system that starts an automation in another, such as a contact update prompting a sync.
A specific URL that represents an action or data fetch in the API.
A sequence of steps that connect triggers and actions across apps to achieve a business outcome.
Trigger: when a new contact is added in Salescaptain, automatically create the contact in Contacts API and enroll them in an onboarding task.
Link updates to tasks to ensure timely follow-ups between systems.
Sync notes from Contacts API into Salescaptain to enrich client context and meeting prep.
Obtain GHL API credentials and set up app credentials in Salescaptain to establish a trusted connection.
Define mappings between Contacts API fields and Salescaptain fields (email, name, phone, notes).
Create test runs, verify triggers and actions, and enable error handling.
Short answer: The Contacts API provides read and write access to contact data, tasks, notes, and appointments. It powers automated sync and data-driven workflows between Salescaptain and your GHL setup. In practice, you’ll use endpoints like GET /contacts/:contactId to read data and POST /contacts/ to create new records, all without leaving your automation builder.
No deep coding is required if you’re using a no-code integration platform. Setup involves authenticating both systems, mapping fields, and selecting triggers and actions. If you need specialized logic, lightweight scripting can be added, but most common flows are achievable with built-in actions.
Common endpoints for core sync include reading contacts (GET /contacts/:contactId), creating (POST /contacts/), updating (PUT /contacts/:contactId), and task and note operations. Filter by business or attributes is supported via query parameters in the API or in the integration mapping.
Yes. You can filter by businessId or contact attributes when fetching lists, and you can apply field-level constraints during mapping. Use search parameters and tag-based filtering to refine data flows.
Pagination is handled via standard page size and next page tokens. Respect rate limits by batching requests and using retries with backoff.
Real-time triggers are possible with webhooks or polling depending on the platform. The integration can push updates when data changes or pull on a schedule.
API credentials are created in your GHL developer account and added to the Salescaptain app. Look for Client ID, Client Secret, and redirect URLs in the app settings.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
