Authenticate calls from Speak4 to the Contacts API using your GHL credentials. Store tokens securely and rotate keys regularly.
Speak4 authenticates with the GHL Contacts API using OAuth2 tokens or API keys provided by your GHL account. Keep credentials confidential.
Available 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; scope: contacts.write; 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 opened or updated in Speak4, fetch the contact data and its tasks from the Contacts API to keep your view in sync.
Actions: Call GET /contacts/:contactId and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to pull data into Speak4 and reflect changes back.
GET /contacts/:contactId and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
contactId, taskId
Trigger: When a new or updated contact is created in Speak4, push changes to the Contacts API and attach notes.
Actions: POST /contacts/ to create, PUT /contacts/:contactId to update, POST /contacts/:contactId/notes to add notes.
POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts/:contactId/notes
contactId, noteId
Trigger: When a task is created or updated in Speak4, propagate to the Contacts API.
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed; DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId.
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed; DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:contactId
taskId, contactId
Build powerful automations without writing code, using triggers and actions to move data between Speak4 and the Contacts API.
Accelerate deployment with prebuilt endpoints and secure integration, reducing development time.
Maintain security with centralized credentials and audit trails for every API call.
Definitions for authentication, endpoints, triggers, actions, fields, and glossary terms used in this guide.
The process of verifying identity and establishing a trusted session between Speak4 and the GHL Contacts API.
A specific URL path and HTTP method used to perform an operation in an API.
An event in Speak4 that starts a workflow to call the API.
An operation performed by the integration, such as creating or updating a contact, task, or note.
Set a trigger on new Speak4 leads to create or update a contact in GHL and pull related tasks for quick follow-up.
Automatically create calendar reminders in Speak4 when a contact has an appointment in Contacts API.
Use tags from Contacts API to route contacts to specific workflows in Speak4.
Obtain GHL API credentials and configure OAuth or API keys between Speak4 and the Contacts API.
Decide which endpoints to use (read, write, notes, tasks) and map fields like contactId, taskId, notesId.
Test thoroughly, monitor logs, and enable live operation with retries and error handling.
No, you can use the built in connectors and triggers to link Speak4 with the Contacts API without writing code. The interface guides you through mapping fields and selecting endpoints. For more complex workflows you can extend with webhooks, but the essentials are no code.
You will use OAuth 2.0 tokens or API keys issued by GHL to authorize requests. Keep credentials secure, rotate keys regularly, and apply least privilege scopes such as contacts.readonly to limit access.
Common operations include reading a contact (GET /contacts/:contactId), listing a contact’s tasks (GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks), creating or updating a contact (POST /contacts/ and PUT /contacts/:contactId), and managing tasks (POST/PUT/DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks…).
Yes. With a Speak4 trigger you can automatically create or update Contacts API records when leads enter Speak4, and you can also sync notes and tags to enrich contact data.
Implement retries with exponential backoff and monitor logs. Use the API status codes and Speak4 error handling to adjust flows and notify your team when needed.
API rate limits depend on your GHL plan. Plan for bursts and implement backoff or batching where possible. If limits are reached, slow down requests or queue updates.
View logs in Speak4’s integration console and in the GHL API dashboard. Enable webhooks for real time event monitoring and error alerts.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
