3 steps to connect Skipio with the GHL Contacts API

Step 1: Gather API credentials

In GHL, create or locate your API credentials and note the client ID/secret. In Skipio, prepare your API key or OAuth details to authorize calls.

Step 2: Configure permissions and scopes

Grant the necessary scopes (e.g., contacts.readonly and contacts.write) to allow Skipio to read and update contact data as needed.

Step 3: Test and go live

Run test API calls to verify data flow, mapping fields correctly, and then enable live syncing with monitoring in place.

Frequently Asked Questions

What authentication method is required for the GHL API?

You typically authenticate with OAuth 2.0 or API keys issued by GHL. Skipio will use the credentials to obtain access tokens with the required scopes. Store these tokens securely and rotate credentials regularly to maintain access. Ensure your app requests only the permissions it needs to minimize risk.

The most common endpoints are GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch contact data, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks for tasks, and POST /contacts/ to create new contacts. These allow you to sync core contact information and related activities like tasks, notes, and tags between GHL and Skipio.

Write access is required if you intend to create or update contacts from Skipio into GHL. If you only need to read data, readonly access is sufficient. Align permissions with your automation goals and security policies.

Begin with a dry run using test contacts and a staging environment. Validate field mappings, data formats, and error handling. Once you confirm data flows correctly, switch to live mode with monitoring and alerting.

Yes. GHL enforces rate limits on API calls. Plan bulk operations cautiously, implement exponential backoff for retries, and batch requests when possible to avoid hitting limits.

Deleting a contact in GHL from Skipio is possible if you have write permissions. Consider soft deletes or archiving depending on your data retention policy and ensure downstream systems are aware of the change.

When an error occurs, the integration should log the issue and retry after a backoff period. If repeated failures occur, notify your team and review credentials, mappings, and endpoint availability to restore syncing.
