Access to the Contacts API requires a valid GHL token with the appropriate scope (e.g., contacts.readonly for reads and full access for writes). Include an Authorization header: Bearer {your_token}. Keep tokens secure and rotate them regularly.
Authenticate ShippyPro to the GHL Contacts API using your ShippyPro API key or OAuth flow as configured in your workspace. Store credentials securely and renew credentials before they expire.
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 new contact is created in ShippyPro to create a corresponding contact in GHL.
Create or update the GHL contact with mapped fields such as name, email, phone, and address; initialize related tasks as needed.
POST /contacts/
Key fields: email, name, phone, address
Trigger when a task is created or updated in ShippyPro to reflect changes in GHL.
Update GHL task attributes (title, status, due date) and link to the related contact.
PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId
Key fields: contactId, taskId, status, dueDate
Trigger when a new note is added in ShippyPro to create a note in GHL.
Post notes to the GHL contact, including content, author, and timestamp.
POST /contacts/:contactId/notes
Key fields: contactId, noteId, content
Rapid setup with no-code connectors lets you start automating in days, not weeks.
Visual workflow builders enable drag-and-drop data mappings and trigger rules.
Reusable templates and shared workflows speed onboarding across teams.
Overview of elements and processes: endpoints, authentication, data mapping, error handling, and best practices for reliable integrations.
Application Programming Interface — a set of endpoints and methods to interact with software services.
A real-time event notification sent from one system to another when a defined action occurs.
The process of verifying identity and permissions to access an API, typically via tokens or keys.
The maximum number of API calls allowed in a given time window to protect the service from abuse.
When a new contact is added in GHL, automatically create a corresponding contact in ShippyPro and assign initial shipping tasks.
Push shipment status changes from ShippyPro into GHL notes and contact history for complete visibility.
Schedule a nightly reconciliation to keep contacts, tasks, and notes aligned across systems.
Register ShippyPro in GHL to obtain API keys and set permission scopes for read/write access.
Add your API keys to the Zapier app, configure the Authorization header, and verify the connection with a test call.
Define field mappings for contacts, tasks, and notes, then run test flows to confirm data accuracy.
No coding is required when using no-code connectors like Zapier. You can set up triggers, actions, and field mappings visually. If you need custom logic, you can add webhooks or small scripts to handle exceptions and advanced routing.
You authenticate with a Bearer token in the Authorization header. Use the token with appropriate scope (read or write). Keep tokens secure and rotate them regularly.
Start with GET /contacts/:contactId to read a contact, then POST /contacts/ to create new contacts. For updates, use PUT /contacts/:contactId and for related data use the tasks and notes endpoints.
Implement retries with exponential backoff and respect API rate limits. Use status codes and error messages to trigger retries or alert your team when quotas are reached.
Yes. You can sync tasks and notes by triggering updates from each system and mapping fields accordingly to maintain parity.
API rate limits apply. The exact limits depend on your plan; monitor usage and implement backoff to avoid hitting caps.
Official API documentation is available in your GHL developer hub and the ShippyPro integration guide. You’ll find details on endpoints, authentication, and data mapping.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
