Authenticate requests using OAuth 2.0 tokens granted to your app. Include the access token in the Authorization header as Bearer, and apply the scopes you need (for example: contacts.readonly for read access and contacts.write for updates).
Spark Hire authentication uses API keys or OAuth. Generate credentials from Spark Hire’s developer portal and attach them to your integration. Use these credentials to obtain access tokens and include them in your requests with the proper scope.
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
When a new contact is created in Spark Hire, automatically create or update the corresponding contact in GHL.
Create or update the contact in GHL using POST /contacts/ and keep fields like name, email, and phone in sync.
POST /contacts/
email, fullName, phone
When Spark Hire tasks or notes are updated, push changes to the GHL contact and reflect updates in Spark Hire.
Create/update tasks and notes in GHL (PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId and PUT /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id) and mirror updates back to Spark Hire.
PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId and PUT /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id
taskId, noteId
Import all Spark Hire contacts for a given business in GHL and keep them up to date with changes in Spark Hire.
Use GET /contacts/business/:businessId to fetch, then POST /contacts/ for new entries or PUT /contacts/:contactId for updates; map fields accordingly.
GET /contacts/business/:businessId and POST /contacts/ or PUT /contacts/:contactId
businessId, email, fullName
Automate contact creation and updates so your team can focus on engaging candidates rather than data entry.
Keep contact data synchronized across Spark Hire and GHL to ensure consistency in outreach and scheduling.
Leverage event-driven workflows to trigger tasks, notes, and updates automatically.
This glossary covers API concepts (endpoints, triggers, actions, key fields) used to connect Spark Hire with the GHL Contacts API.
API: A set of endpoints and protocols that allows Spark Hire and the GHL Contacts API to exchange data securely.
OAuth 2.0 is the standard authorization framework used to obtain access tokens for API calls.
A short-lived token used to authorize API requests.
A specific URL path for a particular action within an API.
Trigger status updates and notes when candidates move through Spark Hire pipelines, keeping GHL contact records current.
Sync batch hiring data from Spark Hire to GHL via the Contacts API to coordinate outreach and scheduling.
Create a single source of truth by syncing notes, tasks, and contact data across both systems.
Generate a client ID/secret or Spark Hire API key from the developer portal and authorize your GHL app.
Grant scopes such as contacts.readonly and contacts.write as required by your use case.
Perform a dry run to verify data mapping and error handling before going live.
Spark Hire and GHL keep your candidate data aligned as changes occur. The integration pulls contact fields such as name, email, and phone, plus any custom fields you map, so outreach and scheduling stay consistent. Depending on your plan, you may see near real-time updates or batched sync intervals.
Yes. To update a contact, ensure your API credentials include write access (contacts.write). Then use PUT /contacts/:contactId with the updated fields. If you only need read access, use GET endpoints.
Authenticate using OAuth 2.0 tokens or Spark Hire API keys. Pass the token in the Authorization header as Bearer {token} and include the appropriate scope (for example, contacts.readonly or contacts.write) with your request.
Yes. Map fields between systems in your integration workflow. You can map standard fields (name, email, phone) and custom fields. Some fields may require formatting adjustments to match each system’s schema.
Rate limits depend on your Spark Hire and GHL plan. If you exceed limits, you’ll receive HTTP 429 responses. Implement exponential backoff and retries in your app.
Enable detailed logging for syncs, review error messages, and verify your field mappings. Start with a small test record to reproduce the failure and adjust your workflow accordingly.
Yes. Webhooks or polling can provide real-time updates to Spark Hire or GHL; configure the integration to push changes to the other system as they occur.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
