Authenticate with your GHL account to authorize Scrive to read contact data (scope: readonly).
Authorize Scrive to access your GHL Contacts data by selecting the necessary scopes and securely storing tokens.
GET /contacts/:contactId — Retrieve a single contact; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks — List tasks for a contact; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Get a specific task; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes — List notes; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id — Get a note; GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments — List appointments; GET /contacts/ — List all contacts; GET /contacts/business/:businessId — List contacts by business; POST /contacts/ — Create a contact; PUT /contacts/:contactId — Update a contact; DELETE /contacts/:contactId — Delete a contact; POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks — Create a task; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Update a task; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed — Mark a task complete; DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Delete a task; POST /contacts/:contactId/tags — Add tags to a contact
Trigger: when a new contact is created in GHL or when a Scrive action requires task creation, pull the contact and its tasks to keep both systems in sync.
Actions: read contact data (GET /contacts/:contactId) and its tasks (GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks); create or update corresponding tasks in Scrive or GHL to reflect the latest state.
Example paths: GET /contacts/:contactId and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to fetch details.
Key fields: contactId, taskId, status
Trigger: updates to notes or tags in either app trigger a sync.
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/notes to create notes; POST /contacts/:contactId/tags to assign tags; keep notes in sync across Scrive and the Contacts API.
Paths: POST /contacts/:contactId/notes; POST /contacts/:contactId/tags.
Key fields: contactId, id (note), tag
Trigger: scheduled daily sync to refresh contacts and attach business context.
Actions: GET /contacts/ to pull the full list; GET /contacts/business/:businessId to fetch business-scoped contacts.
Methods include GET /contacts/ and GET /contacts/business/:businessId.
Key fields: businessId, contactId
No-code setup with Zapier: connect, map fields, and automate tasks without writing code.
Automations trigger on Scrive events to create or update GHL contacts and tasks.
Consolidated data flow reduces manual data entry and speeds up workflows.
A quick glossary of API terms, endpoints, and how data flows between Scrive and the GHL Contacts API.
An API is a set of endpoints that allow apps to read and update data programmatically.
A URL path and HTTP method used to access a specific resource.
The process of proving identity to grant access to a system.
A mechanism for receiving real-time notifications from another app.
When Scrive finalizes a contract, automatically create a related task in GHL or Scrive to trigger follow up and keep stakeholders informed.
Automatically apply tags in GHL based on the Scrive document type to enable targeted workflows and segmentation.
Keep a complete history by archiving finished tasks and syncing notes back to GHL for a centralized timeline.
Authorize Scrive to access your GHL Contacts data by granting permissions and selecting the scope readonly.
Choose which endpoints you will use such as GET /contacts/:contactId and POST /contacts/.
Create automation rules to sync data between Scrive and GHL such as creating tasks when a contact is updated.
GHL supports API keys and OAuth tokens for authentication. Use the method recommended by your GHL account admin and secure storage of tokens. Ensure the token has the proper scope (readonly for browsing data) and rotate credentials regularly. For best results, test authentication in a staging environment before going live. In practice, store tokens securely and restrict access to only trusted services.
No code is not a limitation here. You can use Zapier or other no-code automation platforms to connect Scrive and the GHL Contacts API with prebuilt actions. If you need custom logic or complex data transformations, you can also write lightweight scripts or use webhooks. The combination of endpoints provided makes this integration approachable for non-developers while offering power for developers.
Start with GET /contacts/:contactId to retrieve a contact, then pull related data like tasks and notes with GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes. For listings, GET /contacts/ and GET /contacts/business/:businessId are useful. These endpoints give a solid foundation for most CRM-style workflows. Always validate response structures in your app and handle missing data gracefully.
Yes. You can create or update notes and tags from Scrive to GHL using POST /contacts/:contactId/notes and POST /contacts/:contactId/tags. Updates propagate through the connected data flow so both systems reflect the latest information. Consider implementing idempotent operations to avoid duplicate notes or tags in case of replays.
API providers commonly enforce rate limits. To manage this, implement exponential backoff and retry logic, stagger requests, and batch updates when possible. If you hit limits, review which endpoints are essential for your workflow and consider caching non-volatile data locally where appropriate.
There is a no-code pathway using Zapier and similar tools to connect Scrive with the GHL Contacts API. For teams needing more control, you can add code-based logic or custom webhooks. The endpoints are designed to be friendly to both no-code and low-code approaches, enabling rapid setup without deep development work.
You can monitor data flows and logs in the integration platform you choose (Zapier, webhooks, or your own middleware). Consider setting up dashboards that show recent syncs, errors, and data volumes. If available, enable audit trails in GHL and Scrive to trace changes over time.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
