Use your GHL API key with the required scope (contacts.readonly) to securely authorize requests to the Contacts API from SignalWire.
In SignalWire, configure a client app or integration key to securely call the GHL API endpoints. Store credentials securely and rotate keys periodically.
– 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 updated in GHL, push changes to SignalWire to update contact records and related tasks and notes.
Actions: fetch current data with GET /contacts/:contactId, update with PUT /contacts/:contactId, create tasks via POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, and sync notes with GET/PUT /contacts/:contactId/notes.
Key methods include GET /contacts/:contactId, PUT /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes.
Key fields: contactId, taskId, noteId, businessId
Trigger: creation of a new task in GHL triggers a corresponding task in SignalWire using POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks.
Actions: create, update, and complete tasks; fetch status with GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks.
Methods: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId.
Key fields: contactId, taskId
Trigger: adding or updating notes in GHL creates or updates notes in SignalWire via the Notes endpoints.
Actions: sync notes and manage tags using GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, POST /contacts/:contactId/notes, and POST /contacts/:contactId/tags.
Methods: GET /contacts/:contactId/notes; POST /contacts/:contactId/notes; POST /contacts/:contactId/tags.
Key fields: contactId, noteId, tagName
Automate data flow without writing code.
Move data between platforms instantly, reducing manual updates.
Create unified contact records with notes, tasks, and tags across systems.
Core elements include endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, and data mapping between GHL Contacts API and SignalWire.
A URL path and HTTP method used to perform a specific action in an API (e.g., GET /contacts/:contactId).
The process of proving identity to access API resources, typically via API keys or OAuth tokens.
A callback URL that the API calls when a specified event occurs, enabling real-time updates.
The permissions granted for API access (e.g., contacts.readonly).
Set up a real-time trigger in SignalWire to push contact changes to GHL via the Contacts API.
Automatically create and sync tasks when events occur in SignalWire.
Aggregate notes and tags for a unified contact view across both platforms.
Create a GHL API key with the required scope (contacts.readonly) and store securely.
In SignalWire, set up the connector to call GHL endpoints and map fields.
Test all endpoints, verify data consistency, and set up alerts.
The Contacts API scope dictates what data you can read or modify; for this guide, use contacts.readonly for viewing and basic syncing. For write operations, use appropriate write scopes. Use least-privilege credentials and rotate keys regularly.
Common endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, and POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to push tasks to SignalWire. Field mapping ensures consistent data.
Yes. A developer is not strictly required, but having one can help with complex mappings and error handling. The setup can be done via guided connectors and well-documented APIs.
Yes. Use a sandbox or staging environment to validate authentication flows, data mapping, and webhooks before going live.
Store credentials securely in a secret manager, use short-lived tokens when possible, and rotate keys on a schedule. Prefer OAuth or token-based auth with scopes.
Yes. You can map fields such as name, email, phone, notes, tasks, and tags between GHL and SignalWire using a field-mapping step in the integration.
If a contact is deleted in one system, decide whether to archive or delete in the other. Implement a sync policy to maintain data integrity and avoid orphaned records.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
