Use your GHL credentials to authorize access to the Contacts API with the scope: contacts.readonly. Ensure your GHL account is linked to SEMrush.
SEMrush connects to GHL via OAuth 2.0. After you approve the connection, SEMrush can read and manage your Contacts data within the defined scope.

Automate data flow without writing code.
Improve data consistency across SEMrush and your CRM.
Speed up campaigns with real-time data sync.
This glossary defines terms and processes used by the SEMrush-Contacts API integration.
Application Programming Interface: a set of rules that enable apps to talk to each other.
The process of verifying identity and authorizing access, typically via OAuth 2.0.
A specific URL in an API that performs an action or returns data.
A callback URL that an app calls to send real-time data updates.
Combine fields to create a single source of truth for each contact.
Automatically generate and assign tasks in Contacts from SEMrush insights.
Attach notes and tags from SEMrush to segment audiences in your CRM.
In your app connections, select SEMrush and grant access to Contacts API.
Match SEMrush fields to Contacts API fields (name, email, phone, notes, businessId).
Run test sync and verify data accuracy.
Yes, you can synchronize data in both directions between SEMrush and Contacts API when the app is configured for full access. In practice, you can set up bidirectional sync for key fields and tasks. To avoid conflicts, define clear rules for field precedence and update direction per field.
You can sync core contact data like name, email, phone, notes, and tags. Additionally, you can sync tasks and business associations to give a complete view.
No custom code is required; the connector provides a no-code interface. You may need to configure mappings and triggers within the app.
Data is transmitted over OAuth-protected channels. SEMrush and GHL ensure secure transfers with encryption.
The available endpoints include reading contacts, tasks, notes, appointments, and business associations. The exact list is shown in the ENDPOINT LIST section.
Test the connection via the app’s test feature or by running a small data sync. Check logs for errors and adjust mappings as needed.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan and API tier. If you hit limits, stagger requests or upgrade your plan.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
