To authorize SiteCapture to call the Contacts API you will use OAuth 2.0 and provide an API key with the scope contacts.readonly. Keep credentials secure and rotate regularly.
In SiteCapture connect to Contacts API by entering the API credentials from GHL. Ensure the redirect URI is approved and scopes include read access.
Endpoints covered include: 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, SiteCapture fetches the latest data.
Actions: update SiteCapture records, attach tags, and propagate changes to tasks and notes.
GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, email, name
Trigger: updates to tasks or notes in Contacts API trigger actions in SiteCapture.
Actions: create or update tasks in SiteCapture from Contacts tasks; sync notes.
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: contactId, taskId, status
Trigger: notes or appointments updated in Contacts API.
Actions: push notes to SiteCapture and log appointments.
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
Key fields: contactId, noteId, appointmentId
Benefit: Fast setup without writing code.
Benefit: Automate data flows across platforms.
Benefit: Scale your contact workflows with confidence.
This section defines the core elements and processes used in the SiteCapture and Contacts API integration including endpoints, triggers, actions, and common data fields.
A unique identifier for a contact in the Contacts API used to fetch and update records.
A scheduled event linked to a contact in the Contacts API.
A text entry attached to a contact in the Contacts API for context.
A to do item associated with a contact in the Contacts API.
Pull fresh contact data into SiteCapture to enrich campaigns and tasks.
Automatically create tasks in SiteCapture when contacts reach milestones in the API.
Sync notes between SiteCapture projects and Contacts API for richer context.
In GHL generate an API key and grant the Contacts API scope for SiteCapture.
Use the credentials in SiteCapture to authorize and verify endpoint responses.
Configure the endpoint mappings for the 17 endpoints and set up triggers and actions.
SiteCapture can access contact records, tasks, notes, and appointments through the Contacts API. This enables you to pull essential data for campaigns, reports, and automation. The connection uses secure OAuth 2.0 authentication and honors the scope you grant. If you need access to additional fields or endpoints, you can request scope adjustments from your GHL administrator and reauthorize the connection.
No heavy coding is required thanks to the no code connector. You will configure credentials, map endpoints, and set triggers using the UI. If custom logic is needed, you can add small scripts or use webhooks.
The most commonly used endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch a contact, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks for tasks, POST /contacts/ to create a contact, and PUT or DELETE variants for updating or removing records. Endpoints for notes and appointments support quick context and scheduling.
OAuth 2.0 is used to authorize SiteCapture to access the Contacts API. You will register SiteCapture as a client, obtain client_id and client_secret, and use the authorization code flow. Refresh tokens keep the connection active.
Yes. Triggers can be set for changes in contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments. When a relevant event happens in the Contacts API, SiteCapture can react by updating data or starting automations.
Rate limits depend on your plan and the API. In most setups you can make multiple calls per minute. If you hit limits, implement retries with backoff or batch requests.
If a connection fails, check credentials, scopes, and redirect URI. Review endpoint paths and network connectivity. Logs in SiteCapture will guide you to the cause and suggested fixes.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
