Authenticate requests with your GHL API key and ensure the scope is set to contacts.readonly for read access. Store keys securely and rotate them regularly.
Grant Saleshandy access to your GHL data using a secure OAuth flow or API key based method. Define the minimum scopes needed to read and update contacts as required by your workflow.
GET /contacts/:contactId — Retrieve a single contact\nGET /contacts/:contactId/tasks — List tasks for a contact\nGET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Retrieve a specific task\nGET /contacts/:contactId/notes — List notes for a contact\nGET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id — Retrieve a specific note\nGET /contacts/:contactId/appointments — List appointments for a contact\nGET /contacts/ — List all contacts\nGET /contacts/business/:businessId — List contacts for a business\ncontacts.write — Scope for write access to contacts\nPOST /contacts/ — Create a new contact\nPUT /contacts/:contactId — Update a contact\nDELETE /contacts/:contactId — Delete a contact\nPOST /contacts/:contactId/tasks — Create a task\nPUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Update a task\nPUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed — Mark a task completed\nDELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Delete a task\nPOST /contacts/:contactId/tags — Tag a contact
Trigger: when a contact is created or updated in GHL, immediately sync the changes to Saleshandy
Actions: create or update the contact in Saleshandy and map fields such as name, email, phone, and tags
Use GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch current data before syncing
Key fields: contactId, name, email, phone, company, tags
Trigger: a contact task is created or updated in GHL
Actions: create or update tasks in Saleshandy, attach to the related contact, and propagate status and due dates
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: taskId, title, dueDate, status, contactId
Trigger: notes or appointments are added or updated in GHL
Actions: sync notes and appointments in Saleshandy and maintain linkage to the associated contact
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes and GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments
Notes: id, content, date; Appointments: id, date, time, location

The GHL Contacts API is a collection of endpoints that let you read and manage contact data from GHL. By connecting Saleshandy to these endpoints you can automatically pull contact details into Saleshandy for outreach sequences and activity tracking. Start with authentication, request the appropriate contact read scope, and then enable syncing for contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments. This foundation ensures data stays aligned across both systems without manual imports.\nOnce connected, you can build no code workflows that react to GHL events such as new contacts or updated tasks, enabling seamless automation across your teams.
Endpoints provide the actions you can perform on contacts and their related items. Typical needs include retrieving a contact, listing their tasks and notes, and creating or updating tasks. Not every endpoint is required for every page, but knowing the available options helps you tailor your integration. Begin with GET /contacts/:contactId for data retrieval and POST /contacts/ to create new records, then extend with tasks notes and appointments as your workflow demands.\nFor teams that want deeper automation, consider using the tags endpoint to categorize records and trigger downstream actions.
Authentication is typically done with a GHL API key or OAuth flow. Apply the proper scope, such as contacts.readonly for read access, and store credentials securely. Rotate keys periodically and use environment-based secrets to minimize risk. If you need write access, request additional scopes like contacts.write and map changes carefully to avoid data conflicts.\nAlways follow your security policy when storing credentials and consider implementing dedicated service accounts for automation.
No extensive coding is required for basic integrations. The two main tasks are enabling the API access in GHL and configuring field mappings in Saleshandy. If you want advanced automation, you may add simple no-code middleware or use webhooks to trigger actions. For complex transformations, light scripting or a low-code tool can help map fields and handle data normalization.
Start with a test environment or sandbox if available. Validate each endpoint with sample data, verify that contacts/tasks/notes sync correctly, and confirm timestamps and fields align. Set up alerting for failed requests and monitor logs to quickly identify and fix mismatches. Once green, roll out to production in phases to minimize disruption.
Yes. You can map standard fields like name, email, and phone, and you can extend to custom fields as needed. Ensure field mappings are consistent between GHL and Saleshandy so data flows correctly. If a field is missing, create a corresponding field in Saleshandy or use a default value during sync.
Sync status is typically visible in the integration logs within your app or in the connected service dashboard. You can also build alerts that notify you of failed syncs or retries. Regularly review logs to ensure ongoing reliability and address any data gaps promptly.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
