To access the Contacts API, use your GHL API credentials. The connection typically requires API keys or OAuth 2.0 tokens with the scope contacts.readonly. Keep credentials secure and test the connection after setup. Scope: contacts.readonly.
Spotio authentication uses OAuth tokens or API keys provided by Spotio. After authorizing, validate the connection to confirm you can read contact data from GHL via the Zapier App Connector.
The endpoints below are available for syncing data between GHL’s Contacts API and Spotio. Primary read operations 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, and a broader list including GET /contacts/, GET /contacts/business/:businessId. Write operations are available via 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, and POST /contacts/:contactId/tags. Use these endpoints to design robust, no-code automations in Zapier.
Trigger: when a contact is created or updated in GHL, fetch the contact data with GET /contacts/:contactId to sync to Spotio.
Actions: Create or update the Spotio contact, then create or update related tasks using GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks as needed.
GET /contacts/:contactId
contactId, name, email, phone
Trigger: when a task is updated or created for a contact in GHL, retrieve tasks via GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks.
Actions: Create or update Spotio tasks and link them to the associated contact.
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
contactId, taskId, status, dueDate
Trigger: when notes for a contact are updated, fetch notes via GET /contacts/:contactId/notes.
Actions: Create or update Spotio notes and attach to the contact record.
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
contactId, noteId, content, createdDate
Automate data flow between GHL and Spotio without writing a line of code.
Reduce manual data entry and keep contact records synchronized across platforms.
Leverage Zapier App Connector to speed setup and maintenance of integrations.
This glossary defines API endpoint, trigger, action, method path, and field mapping as used throughout this guide.
A specific URL in the API used to request data or perform an action.
An event that starts an automation, such as a new contact or updated task.
An operation performed by the automation, such as creating or updating a record.
The process of aligning data fields between GHL and Spotio.
Set up a daily synchronized pull of changed contacts, updating Spotio records and related tasks and notes.
Whenever a contact changes, create a work item in Spotio to track follow‑ups and activities.
Aggregate contacts, tasks, and notes into a Spotio dashboard for at‑a‑glance activity trends.
Obtain credentials for GHL and Spotio, then authorize via the Zapier App Connector.
Map GET /contacts/:contactId and related endpoints to triggers and actions in Zapier.
Run tests, validate data flow, and deploy to production.
The primary endpoint for reading a contact is GET /contacts/:contactId. Use this to pull up-to-date contact details. For related data, you can call GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes to assemble a complete profile. Ensure you have the correct authorization and scope to access these resources. Tip: start with a single contact to validate the data flow before scaling to multiple contacts.
Authenticate with GHL using your API credentials or OAuth2, and authenticate Spotio through the Zapier App Connector. The connection should explicitly request the necessary scope (e.g., contacts.readonly) and be tested after setup. Tip: keep credentials secure and rotate them periodically.
Yes. You can create or update a contact using the provided endpoints (POST /contacts/ and PUT /contacts/:contactId). In Zapier, map these actions to create or update steps in your workflow and handle conflicts with id and updatedAt fields. Note: Ensure write permissions are granted in GHL as needed.
Map fields by aligning GHL contact fields to Spotio fields (name, email, phone, etc.). Use Zapier’s field mapping to translate data types and handle required fields with defaults when missing. Keep field mappings synchronized if either platform schema changes.
GHL and Spotio APIs may have rate limits. If you hit limits, implement batching, exponential backoff, and spaced retries in your Zapier workflows to avoid failures. Monitor quotas via your API dashboards and adjust polling frequency accordingly.
Yes. Use a test drive in Zapier’s testing tools, validate a few records, and review debug logs. Start with GET endpoints to confirm read access before attempting writes. Then progressively enable live runs once you’re confident in the data integrity.
Find example mappings, templates, and starter workflows in the Zapier App Connector docs or our Content Hub. You can adapt these templates to your Spotio workflow and GHL data model. If you need tailored templates, contact support for a guided onboarding.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
