Obtain your GHL API credentials and grant Selar the necessary read permissions to access contacts data.
In Selar, configure OAuth or an API key flow to securely authenticate requests to GHL and store tokens safely.
Key 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; GET /contacts/:contactId/tags; 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: select a contact in Selar to pull the contact’s details and related tasks from the GHL Contacts API.
Actions: GET /contacts/:contactId and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to assemble a full view of the contact.
GET /contacts/:contactId
contactId, name, email, status
Trigger: when tasks update in GHL, reflect changes in Selar.
Actions: GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed
contactId, taskId, status, dueDate
Trigger: new or updated notes for a contact.
Actions: GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
contactId, noteId, content
Easy data visibility: read-only access lets you surface contact data in Selar without writing code.
Faster workflows: automate data retrieval for contacts, tasks, and notes to improve outreach.
Safer management: centralized credentials with rotation and least-privilege scopes.
Overview of elements and processes for integrating Selar with the GHL Contacts API, including authentication, endpoints, and data mapping.
Application Programming Interface; a set of rules that enables Selar to communicate with the GHL Contacts API.
Process of verifying identity to access GHL resources; typically OAuth tokens or API keys.
A specific URL in the API that performs a function like retrieving a contact.
Permission level granted to an application to access certain GHL resources.
Pull contact details, tasks, and notes into a single view in Selar to guide outreach.
Automatically fetch and display due tasks to prompt timely follow ups.
Sync contact notes to provide historical context before outreach.
Create an API credential in GHL and authorize Selar to access your Contacts data.
Set scope to contacts.readonly to limit exposure while enabling reading data.
In Selar, map API endpoints to actions like fetch contact, tasks, notes.
If you’re using the Contacts API with Selar, you’ll grant read-only access to essential contact data. This keeps your data safe while enabling rich, real-time insights in Selar. In practice, you’ll pull basic contact information and related items to inform outreach without writing code.
No heavy coding is required. We provide clear endpoint mappings and step-by-step setup that you can implement with standard API calls and your favorite automation tool.
Start with the core endpoints for a single contact: GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch basic details, then GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to pull related tasks.
Test using a staging API key and a test contact. Validate responses, then monitor for rate limits and error codes to ensure smooth automation.
Yes. You can pull notes with GET /contacts/:contactId/notes and fetch individual notes with GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id to provide context in outreach.
Rotate API keys via the GHL developer settings and update Selar configurations. Use short-lived tokens where possible for added security.
API endpoint details and examples are available in the GHL API documentation and within Selar’s integration setup guide.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
