Use a secure API key with the Contacts API scope (for example, contacts.readonly) and follow best practices for access tokens; OAuth flows are supported where available.
Use Shippo’s API key and proper token management; store credentials securely and rotate keys periodically as part of your no-code workflow.
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; 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, push data to Shippo to create or refresh the customer record.
Actions: map name, email, phone, and address to the Shippo customer fields; assign tags and status; handle duplicates gracefully.
POST /contacts/
contactId, email, fullName, phone, address
Trigger: when a task is created or updated for a contact, create or update the corresponding Shippo task.
Actions: create or update Shippo tasks linked to the customer; update status as completed when appropriate.
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
contactId, taskId, title, dueDate, status
Trigger: a new or updated contact note in the Contacts API should appear in Shippo as a note.
Actions: create or append Shippo notes to the customer profile and keep content synchronized.
POST /contacts/:contactId/notes
contactId, noteId, content
Build powerful automations without writing code using drag-and-drop triggers and actions.
Keep data synchronized across systems in real time, reducing manual data entry and errors.
Easily audit data flows with centralized logs and dashboards for quick troubleshooting.
This section defines the endpoints, triggers, actions, and data mappings used to connect the Contacts API with Shippo in a no-code workflow.
Application Programming Interface: a set of rules that lets apps talk to each other.
A specific URL path in an API used to access a resource or perform an action.
A callback mechanism that notifies your app when something changes in another service.
The method by which an app proves its identity to access an API (keys, tokens, OAuth).
Use Contacts API data to pre-fill Shippo shipping details and verify customer identity before creating a shipment.
Segment customers by tags and purchase history to trigger targeted Shippo promos and upsell opportunities.
Log all creates/updates between Contacts API and Shippo for compliance and troubleshooting.
Add your Contacts API credentials and Shippo API key in the connector setup.
Map contact fields to Shippo fields and set up triggers for updates.
Run a test, review logs, and adjust mappings as needed.
No custom code is required—this is a no-code integration using the GHL App Connector. You can set up triggers and actions visually to move data between Contacts API and Shippo. If you need more advanced logic, you can extend with simple scripts in your connector. The goal is to empower non-developers to automate everyday workflows.
At minimum you will use endpoints that read and write contacts and related data: GET /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts/, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, POST /contacts/:contactId/notes, and GET /contacts/ to fetch lists of contacts. Additional endpoints support tasks, notes, and tags as needed.
Yes. You can sync notes and tasks using the related endpoints. Set up triggers for creation or update of notes and tasks, and map fields to Shippo structures. This keeps your records aligned across systems in real time.
Authentication is handled via API keys or tokens. Keep keys secure, rotate regularly, and apply least-privilege scopes (for example, contacts.readonly for reading). Some flows may use OAuth if supported by the service.
Use a test mode or sandbox if available, then run a live test with a known contact. Check the action logs in the GHL app to verify payloads, mappings, and success status.
Rate limits depend on the APIs involved. Plan for burst capacity and implement retry logic in your app connector. The GHL App Connector typically handles retries and backoff.
Error logs, audit trails, and webhook delivery reports can be viewed in the connector’s monitoring area within your GHL dashboard or the Shippo API dashboard, depending on where the integration runs.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
