Use OAuth 2.0 to authorize SendJim to access your Contacts data. The required scope shown here is contacts.readonly, which enables read access for verification and experimentation before broader permissions are granted.
In SendJim, create a connected app and complete the OAuth flow to obtain access and refresh tokens. This securely links SendJim to the Contacts API for automated actions.

No‑code automation: Build powerful workflows with a visual editor to connect SendJim and the GHL Contacts API without writing code.
Real‑time data sync across apps means up‑to‑date contact records, tasks, notes, and tags without manual updates.
Centralized contact data across platforms improves collaboration and reduces duplicate records.
This glossary clarifies terms used in the SendJim to Contacts API integration, including Contact, Endpoint, Task, Note, Tag, OAuth, and Webhook.
A person or company record stored in the Contacts API with identifiable fields such as email, name, phone, and custom attributes.
An action item linked to a contact, with fields like task description, due date, and completion status.
A text entry attached to a contact for history, context, or internal notes.
A label assigned to a contact to categorize, filter, or segment records.
Automatically generate a new contact in the GHL Contacts API when a new lead enters SendJim, with mapped fields like email, name, and company.
Push interaction notes from SendJim to the corresponding contact in the Contacts API to maintain a complete activity history.
Create and assign tasks in the Contacts API when key events occur in SendJim to ensure timely follow-ups.
Authenticate and grant permissions to enable SendJim to access your Contacts data via OAuth 2.0.
Select the endpoints you want to integrate and set up triggers to automate data flow between SendJim and the Contacts API.
Create end-to-end workflows that automatically push data, update records, and keep teams in sync without writing code.
The Contacts API provides programmatic access to contacts, notes, tasks, and tags stored in GHL. It enables automation, data enrichment, and synchronized workflows between SendJim and your CRM. Use standard REST endpoints to create, read, update, and delete records. Best practices include mapping fields consistently, validating data before requests, and logging API responses for troubleshooting.
No deep development work is required for many common use cases thanks to the no-code automation features. However, a basic understanding of webhooks, endpoints, and field mapping helps you design robust workflows. If you run into edge cases, a developer can help with custom mappings or complex error handling.
For read access, the scopes include at least contacts.readonly. If you need write capabilities, your app will need additional scopes and approval. Always start with read access to validate data flows before requesting write permissions.
Yes. You can perform write operations via endpoints like POST /contacts/ and POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks as part of your automation. Ensure your OAuth token has the necessary scopes and that your triggers align with your use case.
Common automation targets include creating/updating contacts, syncing notes, and scheduling tasks. Start with creating a contact when a new lead is created, then extend to tasks and notes as needed for your workflow.
Implement exponential backoff retries and log all errors. Validate responses, handle rate limits, and provide human-readable error messages in logs to simplify debugging.
Consult the official API docs for endpoint details, examples, and best practices. You can also review the no-code automation tutorials and community examples for quick-start patterns.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
