Authenticate using your GHL API credentials to grant Slack access to contact data, tasks, notes, and appointments. Use secure keys or OAuth with the least-privilege scopes needed for your workflow.
Authorize the Slack app to call the GHL Contacts API, ensuring the correct scopes are granted for read and write operations and that tokens are stored securely.
The Contacts API exposes endpoints to read, create, update, and delete contacts, tasks, notes, and related resources. The following endpoints are commonly used in Slack-driven workflows.
Trigger: when a Slack message references a contact or a new contact is added in Slack.
Actions: create or update a contact in GHL, attach notes, and schedule tasks.
Methods: POST /contacts/ to create, PUT /contacts/:contactId to update, GET /contacts/:contactId to verify.
Slack user ID, contact email, contact name, and optional notes.
Trigger: updates in GHL trigger Slack notifications in real time.
Actions: post a message to a channel, update a Slack contact field if supported, or create a task.
GET /contacts/:contactId; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
contactId, Slack channel, data mappings.
Trigger: new or overdue tasks in GHL trigger Slack tasks.
Actions: create Slack tasks or reminders, update statuses.
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId
contactId, taskId, dueDate, description
Zero-code setup lets you configure the integration with a simple UI, no developers required.
Real-time syncing ensures your team always sees up-to-date contact data in Slack.
Centralized workflows automate tasks, notes, and updates from Slack into GHL.
This glossary defines core elements and processes used in the Slack-Contacts API integration.
A defined URL path used to perform a specific function against the GHL Contacts API.
The method by which the integration proves identity (API keys or OAuth) to access data securely.
A person or record stored in GHL’s Contacts database, including names, emails, and phone numbers.
A callback URL that the API can call when data changes, enabling real-time updates.
Send a friendly welcome in Slack when a new contact is created in GHL and create an onboarding task in GHL.
Push contact status changes to Slack channels and DMs for immediate awareness.
Route updates to the right Slack channel based on contact tags; automate alerts.
Install the Slack app, authorize the GHL integration, and select the Contacts API scopes you need.
Map Slack fields to GHL contact data (name, email, notes) to ensure accurate syncing.
Run end-to-end tests, verify data flows, and enable production automation.
No coding is required. The Slack app and GHL Contacts API connector provide a guided setup with field mappings and tested templates. You can configure mapping rules via a visual UI and test the flow in a sandbox environment. If you prefer, you can export a sample configuration to reuse elsewhere.
You can sync contact names, emails, phone numbers, notes, and related tasks. The integration supports reading, creating, updating, and associating items like notes and tasks with contacts for a complete picture.
Credentials are stored securely in your account and transmitted over encrypted channels. API keys or OAuth tokens are used with least-privilege scopes to minimize access. Regular rotations and audit logs help maintain security.
Yes. You can designate specific Slack channels or DMs to receive updates. Channel mappings are configurable in the Slack app settings and can be customized per contact or per workflow.
If syncs fail, check the error logs in the app, verify endpoint paths and credentials, and confirm the required scopes are granted. Re-run the test after correcting issues and monitor a short grace period to confirm stability.
Webhooks are supported for real-time updates from GHL to Slack. Ensure the webhook URL is reachable, the correct events are subscribed, and the receiving endpoint handles retries.
Yes. You can use Zapier as a connector by configuring a Zap that calls the GHL Contacts API and posts updates to Slack. This is an option if you prefer a different automation layer.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
