Authenticate requests to the GHL Contacts API using your API credentials. Use your API key and follow the recommended authentication flow to securely access endpoints such as GET /contacts/:contactId and POST /contacts/.
Connect SlickText to GHL by storing and rotating API keys securely in your integration. Use standard Authorization headers and token-based access to protect calls between SlickText and the GHL Contacts API.
Endpoint examples include: GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId, DELETE /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed, POST /contacts/:contactId/tags, GET /contacts/, GET /contacts/business/:businessId. Use these to build flows that keep contacts, tasks, notes, and tags in sync between SlickText and the GHL system.
Trigger: when a contact is created or updated in SlickText or in GHL, sync changes to the other system to keep records consistent in real time.
Actions: upsert contacts using GET /contacts/:contactId and POST /contacts/; attach notes with POST /contacts/:contactId/notes and tags with POST /contacts/:contactId/tags to reflect updates across platforms.
Method paths: GET /contacts/:contactId to read, POST /contacts/ to create, PUT /contacts/:contactId to update, DELETE /contacts/:contactId to remove.
Key fields: contactId, email, name, phone, status, tags
Trigger: a new task is created or updated for a contact, triggering a parallel task in SlickText or updating the GHL task in real time.
Actions: create, update, or complete tasks via POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, and PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed; monitor with GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks.
Method paths: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: contactId, taskId, title, status, dueDate
Trigger: a new note is added for a contact, prompting a synchronized note history in both systems.
Actions: add notes with POST /contacts/:contactId/notes and retrieve with GET /contacts/:contactId/notes; optionally mirror notes into SlickText campaigns.
Method paths: GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, POST /contacts/:contactId/notes
Key fields: contactId, noteId, content, createdAt
Benefit: build powerful automations without writing code — quick setup, visual flows, and zero-maintenance integrations.
Benefit: improve data accuracy by syncing records automatically and delivering timely messages to contacts.
Benefit: scale outreach with templates, segments, and triggers across both platforms for consistent campaigns.
Definitions of endpoints, terms like API, authentication, webhooks, and data fields to help you implement the integration.
A defined set of rules that enables two software systems to communicate and exchange data over HTTP.
The process of proving identity to access a service, typically via API keys or OAuth tokens.
A specific URL path in an API that performs a defined action (read, create, update, delete).
A URL that a service calls to notify your app about events in real time.
Send a friendly welcome SMS when a new contact is added, including a link to onboarding resources and a template for continued engagement.
Trigger reminder messages to contacts who showed interest but didn’t convert, using personalized SlickText templates.
Automatically send a recap SMS after sales calls and log outcomes in the Contacts API for future reference.
Obtain API keys for both the Contacts API and SlickText, then store them securely in your integration configuration.
Set up core endpoints (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) and build data flows binding SlickText events to GHL Contacts API actions.
Run tests, validate data integrity, and monitor automation performance before going live.
Yes. The integration uses industry-standard security practices, including API keys, token-based auth, and encrypted data in transit. Always follow your organization’s security policies when storing credentials. Regular audits and least-privilege access help keep your data safe. Additionally, you can test in a sandbox environment or with test data to ensure compliance before going live.
You can automate contact creation and updates, task creation and completion, and notes synchronization. This enables real-time messaging campaigns, proactive follow-ups, and consistent contact records across SlickText and the GHL Contacts API. Use cases include welcome SMS, post-call follow-ups, and ongoing engagement workflows.
No advanced coding is required. The integration is designed for no-code or low-code setups using API keys and visual workflows. For complex scenarios, you can add custom scripts or use webhooks to tailor behavior, but basic syncing and automation can be achieved without writing code.
Essential endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, POST /contacts/:contactId/notes, and POST /contacts/:contactId/tags. These provide core create/read/update/delete capabilities and the ability to drive tasks and notes from SlickText.
Use a secure flow to exchange tokens or API keys. Store credentials in a secure vault, rotate them regularly, and scope permissions to the minimum required. When making requests, include proper Authorization headers and verify responses. Consider using OAuth where supported for an added security layer.
Yes. You can run tests in a staging environment or with sample data. Verify that data maps correctly between systems, and monitor for any discrepancies. After successful validation, deploy to production with monitoring and alerting in place.
Resources include the official API docs, community tutorials, and support channels. You can also consult the integration’s best-practice guides and example flows to jump-start your setup. If you run into issues, reach out to support for assistance.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
