Authenticate using OAuth 2.0 with your GHL developer credentials and securely store tokens. Use an API key if your setup requires it.
To connect SkedPal to the GHL Contacts API, grant permissions for contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments. Use OAuth scopes configured in SkedPal’s app settings.
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 SkedPal contact is created or updated
Actions: create or update the corresponding contact in Contacts API; attach notes and tasks as needed
METHOD PATH: POST /contacts/ and PUT /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, name, email, phone, notes, and tasks
Trigger: new or updated appointment in SkedPal
Actions: update related tasks and reflect status in Contacts API
METHOD PATH: PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId
Key fields: contactId, taskId, status
Trigger: note added or updated in SkedPal
Actions: attach notes to Contacts API; manage tags
METHOD PATH: POST /contacts/:contactId/notes
Key fields: contactId, noteId, content
Fast setup with no coding required
Drag-and-drop workflow automation between SkedPal and Contacts API
Centralized data sync reducing manual data entry
This section defines essential elements like endpoints, triggers, actions, and data fields used to connect SkedPal with the Contacts API via GHL.
A specific URL path used to access a particular resource or collection in an API.
The process of proving identity and granting access to an API.
An authorization framework that allows third-party apps to obtain limited access to a service.
A method for real-time notification when an event occurs in a service.
Set up a workflow where creating a contact in SkedPal pushes updates to Contacts API and keeps records aligned.
Attach SkedPal notes to Contacts API to create a complete activity history.
Tag contacts in Contacts API based on SkedPal engagement to power segmentation.
Collect your GHL API credentials and your SkedPal app credentials in a secure vault.
Map the Contacts API endpoints to SkedPal events and set the required OAuth scopes.
Test all flows in a staging environment and monitor logs after deployment.
The GHL Contacts API supports OAuth 2.0-based authentication for secure access. You will authenticate your app and obtain tokens that must be included in API requests. For certain scenarios, an API key can also be used if your account permits it; always keep credentials secure and rotate tokens regularly.
Yes. The API provides endpoints to read and fetch contact data, including GET /contacts/:contactId and related endpoints. To create or update, use POST /contacts/ and PUT /contacts/:contactId. Ensure you handle idempotency and data validation.
Notes are accessed via GET /contacts/:contactId/notes and can be attached to a contact. For syncing notes with SkedPal, use POST /contacts/:contactId/notes to add and update as needed. This enables a complete activity history.
Rate limits apply per API key or OAuth token; plan requests to avoid bursts and implement exponential backoff. If you exceed limits, resume with a backoff and retry, and consider batching requests where possible.
Yes. Use a sandbox or staging environment to simulate endpoints and test flows without impacting real data. Validate responses and use test data to ensure reliability.
Deleting contacts via API is destructive; ensure you have backups before issuing DELETE requests. You can soft-delete if supported or use an archive endpoint, and confirm permissions before action.
Webhooks are supported for real-time notifications from GHL; configure to push events to SkedPal. Verify signatures and test with sample events to validate flows.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
