Authenticate requests using your GHL credentials. Prefer OAuth 2.0 client credentials flow and token rotation for security. For Skilljar integrations, keep scopes restricted to read-only access unless you explicitly need write permissions.
In Skilljar, configure a secure connection that stores the GHL access token and passes it in the Authorization header. Implement token refresh and rotate secrets regularly to maintain a secure link between Skilljar and GHL.

In Skilljar, create or update the learner profile, map fields (email, firstName, lastName, phone), and apply relevant tags.
GET /contacts/:contactId
contactId, email, firstName, lastName, phone
Trigger on a daily batch fetch to sync notes and tasks.
Update Skilljar learner notes and task statuses, map key fields, and refresh learner data.
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
contactId, taskId, status, dueDate, noteId, noteContent
Trigger when a contact is tagged in GHL to update Skilljar learner tags.
POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
contactId, tags
Fast setup without custom development work.
Automated data synchronization between GHL and Skilljar for accurate learner records.
Secure token-based authentication to protect data in transit.
This glossary explains endpoints, triggers, actions, and field mappings used to connect the GHL Contacts API with Skilljar.
A specific URL you call to access a resource in the GHL API.
An operation performed in Skilljar in response to a trigger.
An event in GHL that starts a workflow or action.
Authorization framework used to obtain access tokens securely.
When a new contact is created in GHL, automatically create a learner in Skilljar and enroll them in a default course.
Use contact tasks to trigger reminders about course completion in Skilljar.
Sync notes to Skilljar tags to group learners by interest or status.
Obtain client ID, client secret, and set up OAuth 2.0 credentials in GHL and Skilljar.
Map GHL contact fields (email, name, phone) to Skilljar learner fields (email, firstName, lastName).
Run tests, verify data sync, monitor logs, and enable webhooks.
The Contacts API provides read-only access to contact data, including basic profile fields, notes, tasks, and appointments. You can fetch a single contact with GET /contacts/:contactId and pull related records like tasks and notes for rich learner profiles. Use the data to populate Skilljar learner records and course progress. In Skilljar, this enables automated learner creation, enrollment, and tagging based on GHL data while keeping your systems decoupled and secure.
No heavy coding is required if you use the built-in integration builder and API mappings. You can connect GHL to Skilljar with point-and-click configuration, mapping standard fields like email, first name, and last name. For advanced workflows, you may add lightweight automation rules or webhooks.
Authenticate using OAuth 2.0 between GHL and Skilljar, exchanging client credentials for access tokens. Store tokens securely and refresh before expiry. If you prefer simpler authentication, you can use a restricted API key with the appropriate scopes, but tokens are generally safer for long-term integrations.
Endpoints that support learner data include GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments, and GET /contacts/ for lists. For creating or tagging learners, use POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks and POST /contacts/:contactId/tags. Map these fields to Skilljar learner data accordingly.
Respect API rate limits by polling at modest intervals and using pagination where provided. Prefer webhooks or event-driven updates where available to minimize polling. Implement exponential backoff in retries to handle temporary errors gracefully.
If a request returns an error, inspect the HTTP status code and message. Refresh tokens on 401 Unauthorized, retry with backoff, and log the incident. Keep a retry budget and alert on persistent failures to maintain reliability.
Yes. The same GHL Contacts API endpoints can connect with other apps via Zapier, Integromat, or custom HTTP integrations. You can reuse the same field mappings and endpoint patterns to push or pull data into other platforms beyond Skilljar.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
