Access to the Contacts API is controlled via OAuth 2.0 with a scoped token. Use the credentials you generate in the GHL dashboard to authorize SalesQL and request at least the contacts.readonly scope for reading data.
SalesQL authenticates to the Contacts API using the OAuth client created in the GHL developer console. Keep credentials secure and rotate tokens regularly.

This glossary defines core terms used throughout the integration guide, including endpoints, triggers, and actions.
A specific URL path and HTTP method used to interact with the GHL API.
An event that starts a workflow or action in your integration.
An operation performed in response to a trigger.
The method used to verify identity (e.g., OAuth, API keys).
Pull contact data via GET endpoints and enrich CRM records automatically.
Create tasks in SalesQL when specific contact events occur.
Push alerts to Slack, email, or webhook when a contact changes.
In GHL, register a new OAuth app or API key for Contacts API access and authorize SalesQL.
Enter endpoint paths and ensure the scope is set to contacts.readonly for read access.
Run test calls, verify responses, then go live with monitoring.
To connect, you will need OAuth credentials or an API key from GHL for the Contacts API and authorization for SalesQL. Ensure you grant at least the contacts.readonly scope and use the provided client ID and secret to authenticate requests from SalesQL.
For syncing contacts, start with GET /contacts/:contactId to pull individual records, and GET /contacts/ to list. Use GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes to fetch related data; you can extend to POST, PUT, and DELETE as needed for write access, like POST /contacts/ and PUT /contacts/:contactId.
Yes. You can configure triggers to fire on create or update events and map actions to API calls (e.g., create a task when a contact is updated). This enables flexible automation without code.
Yes. This integration supports no-code automation through a visual builder that wires endpoints to triggers and actions. You can connect data flows without writing code.
Use OAuth tokens with short lifespans and a refresh token flow, rotate credentials regularly, and limit scopes to the minimum required. Store tokens securely and monitor for suspicious activity.
Test connections in a sandbox or staging environment, inspect responses, and validate that data maps align with your CRM structure before going live. Review error codes and adjust mappings as needed.
Endpoint documentation is available in the GHL developer portal and in this page’s Endpoint List section with sample requests for each endpoint. Keep a reference handy for quick integration checks.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
