Authenticate with OAuth2 tokens that include scopes such as contacts.readonly and contacts.write. Store tokens securely, rotate credentials regularly, and limit access to the integration only.
Authenticate Salesloft with OAuth2 and grant the integration access to contacts, tasks, notes, and tags. Use least-privilege scopes and monitor token health routinely.
– GET /contacts/:contactId — Retrieve a contact by ID – GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks — List all tasks for a contact – GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Get a specific task – GET /contacts/:contactId/notes — List notes for a contact – GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id — Get a note by ID – GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments — List appointments for a contact – GET /contacts/ — List all contacts – GET /contacts/business/:businessId — List contacts by business – contacts.write — Authorization scope for writing contacts – 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 created or updated in GHL; push changes to Salesloft immediately.
Actions: upsert contact data in Salesloft, create or update related tasks and notes, and log the event for auditing.
Method/path: use POST /contacts/ to create or PUT /contacts/:contactId to update; map fields directly between systems.
Key fields: id, email, fullName, phone, company, title
Trigger: daily/hourly delta fetch of changed records since the last sync.
Actions: pull changes from GHL, upsert in Salesloft, and reconcile conflicts with versioning.
Method/path: GET /contacts/ and GET /contacts/:contactId with since=params to pull updates.
Key fields: lastModified, id, email
Trigger: tag updates in either system propagate to the other.
Actions: map core fields and tags; keep tag-based triggers in sync across platforms.
Method/path: POST /contacts/:contactId/tags to sync tag data.
Key fields: id, tags, lastUpdated
Fast setup with no coding required using pre-built endpoints and webhook triggers.
Visual automation options via Zapier App Connector for rapid workflow creation.
Scalable data sync reduces manual data entry and minimizes errors.
This glossary defines essential terms and processes used in the GHL Contacts API to Salesloft integration.
Application Programming Interface: a set of rules that lets two apps talk to each other and exchange data.
OAuth 2.0 is an authorization framework that allows apps to obtain limited access tokens to perform actions on behalf of a user.
A webhook is a push-based callback used to notify another system when an event occurs.
Automatically enrich GHL contact records with key fields drawn from Salesloft profiles to keep data consistent across platforms.
Trigger Salesloft tasks when GHL contact status changes, ensuring timely outreach and follow-ups.
Use tags to route records to different sequences in Salesloft and build dashboards showing cross-system performance.
Grant OAuth2 access to both systems with the required scopes for contacts, tasks, notes, and tags.
Create a field mapping so that contact ID, email, and name lines up between GHL and Salesloft.
Run test syncs, verify data integrity, and enable monitoring alerts for failures.
No heavy coding is required for a basic integration; you can use webhook triggers and standard endpoints to sync core contact data. For complex mappings or custom workflows, light scripting can extend functionality. Start with out-of-the-box actions and progressively enrich the integration as needed. In all cases, ensure proper error handling and logging so you can troubleshoot quickly if data mismatches occur.
A basic sync typically requires GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, and POST /contacts/ to create data. As you scale, include PUT /contacts/:contactId and POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to handle updates and task creation. Always map key fields like id, email, and name.
Data is transmitted over secure channels (HTTPS) and OAuth2 tokens guard access. Scope-based permissions limit what the integration can read or write. Rotate tokens regularly and monitor for unusual activity via audit logs.
Yes. You can map custom fields from GHL to equivalent fields in Salesloft and create tags to drive automation rules. Maintain a central field glossary to avoid drift between systems.
Yes. No-code options are available via connectors and app platforms. Use Zapier or similar tools to set up triggers on contact updates and automate actions in Salesloft without writing code.
Support includes documentation, setup checklists, and expert guidance for mapping fields and automations. If you run into issues, you can request advanced help for complex workflows and data validation.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
