Authenticate requests using your GHL API credentials with the scope: contacts.readonly. Store credentials securely and rotate regularly.
APPNAME authenticates to GHL via a secure API key or OAuth flow with the correct scopes to access contact data.
Endpoints 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, propagate changes to APPNAME so records stay aligned.
Actions: upsert contact in APPNAME using PUT /contacts/:contactId and ensure key fields sync (name, email, phone, tags).
PUT /contacts/:contactId
id, name, email, phone, tags
Trigger: a new or updated task in GHL triggers the creation or update of the corresponding task in APPNAME.
Actions: create/update APPNAME task via POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks and keep status in sync.
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
taskId, title, dueDate, status
Trigger: add or update a contact note in GHL to reflect in APPNAME.
Actions: post or update notes via POST /contacts/:contactId/notes and related endpoints as needed.
POST /contacts/:contactId/notes
id, content, date

Use contact creation and notes endpoints to auto-enroll new contacts into onboarding sequences in APPNAME.
Trigger follow-up tasks in APPNAME when GHL assigns a lead score.
Tag contacts in GHL based on note content and sync to APPNAME segments.
Register your APPNAME app in GHL and obtain API keys with the scope contacts.readonly.
Match GHL endpoints to APPNAME fields for upsert and retrieval.
Test in a staging environment, validate data integrity, and go live.
The GHL Contacts API scope controls access to contact data. Use the scope to grant read-only access during exploration, then request higher privileges if needed. Always follow security best practices and limit access to essential endpoints.
Coding is not strictly required if you use no-code automations and built-in connectors. For advanced custom mappings, you may write small scripts or use middleware.
Yes, you can connect multiple endpoints by building separate flows for each endpoint. Start with GET /contacts/:contactId and POST /contacts/ for initial synchronization.
The integration relies on secure tokens and HTTPS. Rotate credentials regularly and apply least-privilege access. Consider IP restrictions where available.
Begin with core endpoints like GET /contacts/:contactId and POST /contacts/. Then expand to tasks, notes, and appointments as your workflow matures.
Test in a staging environment, use mock data, and monitor logs. Validate data schemas and mappings before going live.
API docs are available on the GHL developer portal and APPNAME’s docs. Refer to endpoint references and authentication guides.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
