To call the Contacts API from GHL, obtain an access token and include it in the Authorization header as a Bearer token. Ensure scopes are set to read-only for view-only use, or add write permissions for updates.
Sendblue requires secure API access. Use your Sendblue API key or OAuth token in the Authorization header when making requests to the endpoints you’ve enabled for this page.
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 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 created or updated in the Contacts API, create a corresponding task in Sendblue to drive follow-ups.
Actions: Create a task in Sendblue using POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; update task status as it changes in the Contacts API.
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
contactId, title, description, dueDate, status
Trigger: When a new note is added to a contact in the Contacts API, push or mirror that note into Sendblue as a note.
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/notes to Create notes in Sendblue; update notes as changes occur.
POST /contacts/:contactId/notes
contactId, content, noteId, createdAt
Trigger: When a contact’s appointment data is added or updated in the Contacts API, create or update an appointment in Sendblue.
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/appointments to mirror appointments in Sendblue; keep times and locations aligned.
POST /contacts/:contactId/appointments
contactId, appointmentId, startTime, endTime, location
Fast setup with no-code automation between the Contacts API and Sendblue, reducing manual data entry.
Reliable, real-time data sync across CRM and task management to improve response times.
Scalability as you add more endpoints and workflows without writing a single line of code.
Key elements include endpoints, triggers, actions, and data fields. Understanding these helps map data accurately between GHL and Sendblue.
Application Programming Interface — a defined set of rules that lets apps talk to each other, exchanging data via endpoints.
Specific URL paths and HTTP methods that expose resources like contacts, notes, tasks, and appointments.
The method used to securely authorize API calls, typically with OAuth or API tokens in the Authorization header.
Customer Relationship Management system where contact, task, note, and appointment data is stored and managed.
Automatically generate tasks in Sendblue when a new contact enters the GHL system, ensuring follow-ups start immediately.
Sync notes from Contacts to Sendblue to maintain a complete history in one place.
Push appointment data from Contacts to Sendblue calendars to coordinate with teammates.
Obtain an access token for the Contacts API and configure your Sendblue app to accept it.
Define how contact fields map to Sendblue tasks, notes, and appointments, and select the endpoints you’ll use.
Run test calls, verify data sync, and monitor logs to ensure smooth operation.
The Contacts API lets you access and manage contact data within GHL. It exposes endpoints for reading and updating contacts, notes, tasks, and appointments. By wiring this into Sendblue, you can automate CRM workflows without writing code. You’ll configure triggers and actions to sync data between systems and keep records up to date.
Authentication involves securing requests with an access token or API key. For GHL, obtain a token with the proper scopes, then include it in the Authorization header as Bearer. For Sendblue, use its API key or OAuth token in the same manner. Keep tokens confidential and rotate regularly. Ensure each system only has the permissions it needs to minimize risk.
A typical setup lists endpoints you’ll use (GET /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts/, etc.) and defines triggers such as contact creation or update to drive actions like tasks or notes in Sendblue. Start with the core endpoints and expand as your workflow grows. Consult the API docs for exact parameter requirements and response schemas.
Yes. You can create new tasks in Sendblue when a contact is updated or created in GHL using the provided endpoints (e.g., POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks). You can also update task status to reflect progress.
Rate limits depend on your GHL and Sendblue plans. If you hit limits, implement retry logic with exponential backoff and consider spreading calls or caching results where practical. Use webhooks where available to reduce polling and improve efficiency.
Map contact fields from GHL (e.g., name, email) to corresponding Sendblue fields (e.g., task title, notes content). Use consistent data types and formats, and validate on both sides to avoid mismatches. Document field mappings for maintenance.
Test with a small subset of contacts and verify that data creates corresponding tasks, notes, and appointments in Sendblue. Check logs, error messages, and success responses. Once confirmed, monitor performance after going live.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
