Authenticate requests using your GHL API credentials. Store keys securely and rotate them regularly. In Zapier you can connect the Contacts API as a private app and use the provided OAuth2 flow or API keys when available.
Your SimpleTexting connection uses the standard app authentication flow to access GHL data. Ensure you have valid credentials with the required scopes such as contacts.readonly.
Endpoint list includes GET and POST endpoints for contacts, tasks, and notes. For example GET /contacts/:contactId to read a contact, POST /contacts/ to create, PUT /contacts/:contactId to update, and endpoints for tasks and notes such as GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks and POST /contacts/:contactId/notes.
Trigger: when a contact is created or updated in Contacts API and push the data to SimpleTexting to start a SMS workflow.
Actions: create or update a contact, assign tags, or set custom fields from incoming SMS or events.
Common methods: POST to /contacts/ to create and PUT /contacts/:contactId to update.
Key fields: contactId, email, phone, status, tags
Trigger: creation or update of tasks in Contacts API from SMS or automation.
Actions: create tasks (POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks), update tasks (PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId), or mark completed (PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed).
Methods include POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks and PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId and PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed.
Key fields: contactId, taskId, title, dueDate, status
Trigger: when a note is added or updated in Contacts API to reflect in SimpleTexting workflows.
Actions: create notes (POST /contacts/:contactId/notes), update notes (PUT /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id), or fetch notes (GET /contacts/:contactId/notes).
Methods: POST /contacts/:contactId/notes to add, PUT /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id to edit.
Key fields: contactId, id, content, createdAt
No coding is required to build robust automations via triggers, actions, and mappings.
Faster time to value with drag and drop workflows and reusable templates.
Reliable, scalable data sync across Contacts, tasks, and notes.
This glossary covers core elements such as endpoints triggers actions and field mappings that power the integration.
GHL Contacts API enables programmatic access to contact records for reading, creating, updating and deleting data.
A URL path used to access a specific resource in the API.
A mechanism to automatically send real time data from one system to another when a defined event occurs.
The process of linking fields between Contacts API and SimpleTexting so data flows correctly.
Automatically enroll new contacts into an onboarding SMS sequence using the Contacts API for trigger data.
Parse SMS replies to create or update tasks in the Contacts API and keep your team aligned.
Capture customer notes via SMS and push them to the Contacts API for a complete history.
No coding is required. The integration is built with a no code interface that lets you create triggers, actions, and mappings. You can set up common flows in minutes and reuse templates. If you ever need advanced customization, you can add optional scripts or use webhooks, but it is not necessary for standard use.
Basic sync requires endpoints for creating and updating contacts, and reading contact data. Start with POST /contacts/ and PUT /contacts/:contactId, then pull in related endpoints like GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes to surface context. You can progressively enable additional endpoints as your workflow grows.
Yes. Field mappings let you decide which data from Contacts API goes to SimpleTexting and vice versa. Use simple key-value mappings and built-in data transforms to ensure data quality. Templates can be saved and reused for consistency across campaigns.
Security uses OAuth2 and token-based access with scoped permissions. Secrets are stored securely, and you can rotate credentials regularly. Audit logs show who accessed what data. Always follow your organization’s security policies when connecting apps.
Yes. You can create and update tasks and notes directly from GHL and push those changes to SimpleTexting. The mapping ensures actions trigger updates across systems in near real time. Be mindful of rate limits and consider batching updates for high traffic accounts.
To test, use the built in test mode and review the activity logs. Start with a test contact, perform sample actions, and verify data appears in SimpleTexting as expected. If errors occur, consult endpoint responses and re-map fields as needed.
Logs and audit trails are available in both systems. In GHL check the API activity section; in SimpleTexting review the app’s activity or integration logs for a full picture. Regular monitoring helps spot issues before they impact campaigns.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
