Authenticate with GHL by supplying an API key or OAuth credentials that include the required scope: contacts.readonly. This enables Zapier to read contact data during the flow.
Slite connects to GHL through Zapier. During setup, authorize the GHL account within the Zapier connector and grant the necessary permissions for read access to your contacts.
Key endpoints used in this integration include 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 contact is created or updated in GHL, create or update the corresponding entry in Slite.
Actions: create or update a Slite document, attach core contact details, and link related notes or tasks.
GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, name, email, phone, businessId
Trigger: when a batch of contacts is updated or created in GHL, reflect changes in a Slite collection or page.
Actions: bulk create or update in Slite, attach notes, and apply tags for organization.
GET /contacts/
Key fields: businessId, contactCount
Trigger: when a contact is deleted in GHL, remove or archive the corresponding Slite entry.
Actions: delete the Slite document or move it to an archive page; detach related notes and tasks if needed.
DELETE /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId
No-code integration via Zapier lets you connect GHL Contacts API to Slite without writing code.
Automate repetitive tasks and keep data synchronized across both tools for consistent workflows.
Centralized data improves team collaboration and speeds decision-making.
This glossary explains core elements: GHL (the API platform), API Endpoints, Authentication, Triggers, Actions, and Data Mapping.
GHL refers to the API platform powering CRM automation and integrations in this guide.
A specific URL path and HTTP method used to perform an action on a resource (e.g., GET, POST, PUT, DELETE).
The process of proving identity to access the API, typically via API keys or OAuth credentials.
A URL endpoint that receives real-time event notifications from the API.
Set up a Zapier workflow to append a concise summary of contact changes to a designated Slite page.
Publish a weekly Slite digest of recently added or updated GHL contacts for your team.
When new leads appear in GHL, automatically create follow-up tasks in Slite.
Log in to GHL and generate an API key or set up OAuth for secure access.
In Zapier, choose Slite as the action app and authorize the connection to your GHL-enabled workspace.
Map GHL contact fields to Slite fields and configure triggers for updates, notes, and tasks.
Answer 1 for FAQ1. You do not need to write code to connect GHL Contacts API to Slite; Zapier provides the no-code bridge. Simple triggers and actions let you move data between apps. Answer 2: Use the GHL API key or OAuth credentials with the readonly scope to safely authenticate and start reading contact data.
Answer 1 for FAQ2. Authentication typically uses API keys or OAuth. Ensure your credentials have the correct scope (contacts.readonly) so Zapier can access contact data. Answer 2: Keep credentials secure and rotate them periodically according to your security policy.
Answer 1 for FAQ3. Core endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/, POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId, DELETE /contacts/:contactId, and related sub-resources like tasks and notes. Answer 2: The exact endpoints you expose depend on what you need to sync with Slite.
Answer 1 for FAQ4. Map fields by selecting source GHL fields (e.g., name, email, phone) and destination Slite fields. Answer 2: Use Zapier’s built-in field mapping and test with sample data to verify accuracy.
Answer 1 for FAQ5. Rate limits depend on your GHL plan and API tier. Plan ahead for higher traffic and implement backoff retries. Answer 2: If you hit limits, stagger requests or batch updates where supported.
Answer 1 for FAQ6. Yes—notes, tasks, and appointments related to a contact can be synced to Slite depending on your workflow. Answer 2: Use endpoint calls for notes and tasks to maintain context in your Slite docs.
Answer 1 for FAQ7. In Zapier, create a test zap, run a test fetch from GHL, and verify the Slite result. Answer 2: Use the Test Data and Troubleshooting tips in Zapier to refine mappings.
