Obtain an access token with the contacts.readonly scope from the GHL developer portal. Store credentials securely and rotate keys regularly.
Grant Salesmap the necessary permissions to read and manage contacts, tasks, notes, and related data through the GHL API. Create a client credential pair for ongoing access.
Available endpoints include: 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; API Endpoint9: contacts.write; 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 updated in GHL to refresh related tasks in Salesmap.
Fetch contact data and all associated tasks, then create or update records in Salesmap.
GET /contacts/:contactId
contactId, firstName, lastName, email, phone, tasks[].taskId, tasks[].status
Note creation or updates in GHL triggers note sync to Salesmap.
Retrieve notes for the contact and push to Salesmap; update on changes.
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
noteId, noteText, createdAt, updatedAt, contactId
On new contact creation or business assignment, trigger Sync.
Pull /contacts/ and /contacts/business/:businessId data into Salesmap.
GET /contacts/; GET /contacts/business/:businessId
contactId, businessId, name, email
No code integration lets you connect the GHL Contacts API to Salesmap without custom development.
Automations run on triggers or schedules, keeping data in sync automatically.
Centralized data access across contacts, notes, tasks, and appointments.
This glossary defines terms used in the integration, including GHL, API endpoints, triggers, actions, and data mapping.
GHL refers to the GHL platform’s API used to access contacts, notes, tasks, and more within this integration.
A specific URL and HTTP method that enables a data operation against the GHL API.
The process of proving identity and granting permissions to access protected API resources.
A notification URL registered with GHL to receive event updates in real time.
Set up a workflow that detects duplicates and merges records in Salesmap.
Link note updates to task reminders and follow-up sequences in Salesmap.
Create dashboards that visualize activity from endpoints like /contacts and /notes.
Generate OAuth tokens or API keys in GHL; grant Salesmap necessary scopes.
Choose endpoints like contacts, notes, tasks to sync; set update frequency.
Run tests, review logs, and flip the switch to production.
The Contacts API gives access to core CRM data such as contacts, their tasks, notes, and appointments, enabling powerful automations in Salesmap. Use combinations of endpoints to assemble a complete view of a contact’s activity. Two common patterns are pulling a contact with their tasks, or gathering notes for context before a follow-up.
No heavy coding is required for basic setups—many no-code workflow tools can map fields and trigger actions. You may still need some API knowledge to handle authentication, scopes, and field mappings. We provide templates to help you get started quickly.
Authenticate by obtaining an access token from GHL via OAuth or an API key and including it in the Authorization header. Ensure the token has the proper scopes (for example, contacts.readonly). Rotate credentials regularly and store them securely.
The best endpoints depend on your goal: use GET /contacts/:contactId for core data, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks for task context, and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes for notes. For business data, use GET /contacts/business/:businessId. Map endpoints to your reports and automations in Salesmap.
Yes. You can trigger actions in Salesmap from GHL events using webhooks or scheduled checks. This enables real-time updates to tasks, notes, or contact records in your CRM.
The GHL API enforces rate limits per token. Plan requests, batch operations when possible, and implement retry/backoff logic. Caching frequently requested data also helps.
Test in a development or sandbox environment when available. Use sample data, monitor API responses, check error logs, and validate mappings before going live.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
