Obtain your GHL API credentials and securely authorize requests from Stackby using an API key or OAuth token.
In Stackby, configure a connection to the GHL Contacts API with your credentials and set scope to contacts.readonly for safe read access (adjust as needed).
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; 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: a contact is created or updated in GHL, then the corresponding record in Stackby is created or updated.

Key fields: contactId, name, email, phone, status, lastUpdated
Trigger: a new or updated GHL task triggers a corresponding task in Stackby.
Actions: create or update a task row in Stackby; link to the related contact; set due dates and status.
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId
Key fields: taskId, contactId, taskName, dueDate, status
Trigger: notes and appointments added in GHL propagate to Stackby.
Actions: create notes and appointments records in Stackby; attach to the correct contact; include timestamps.
POST /contacts/:contactId/notes; POST /contacts/:contactId/appointments; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes; GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments
Key fields: noteId, appointmentId, contactId, note, startTime, endTime
Launch integrations quickly without writing code using Stackby’s visual workflow tools.
Easily map fields between GHL and Stackby to keep data aligned across systems.
Automate data syncing in real time to maintain up-to-date contact records.
Understand API basics, endpoints, authentication, and data mapping for connecting Stackby to the GHL Contacts API.
Application Programming Interface — a set of rules and endpoints that let software applications talk to each other.
A specific URL path in an API used to perform an operation, such as retrieving a contact or updating a task.
Process of proving identity and obtaining access to an API, typically via API keys or OAuth tokens.
The process of aligning data fields between Stackby and GHL so data flows correctly.
Pull additional GHL fields into Stackby to build richer, actionable contact records.
Automatically create Stackby tasks when GHL tasks are created, keeping teams aligned.
Centralize notes and appointments in Stackby for quick reference and planning.
Obtain API credentials (API key or OAuth) and set scope to read-only for safe access.
Add the GHL Contacts API as a data source in Stackby and map the endpoints you need.
Define triggers, frequency, and field mappings to keep Stackby up to date with GHL data.
The GHL Contacts API provides a programmatic way to access and manage contact data, including tasks, notes, and appointments. It enables you to read and interact with contact records from external apps without using the official UI. This makes it ideal for building no-code or low-code automations with Stackby.
Endpoints cover common operations like retrieving individual contacts, their tasks, notes, and appointments, as well as creating and updating these items. Use these endpoints to assemble the data you need in Stackby and to push updates back when appropriate. Not all endpoints are required for every page—pick the ones that fit your workflow.
No coding is required to connect Stackby to the GHL Contacts API. Use Stackby’s connectors and field-mapping capabilities to set up data flows, triggers, and actions between Stackby and GHL. This guide is designed for no-code users and lightweight developers alike.
Authenticate using a API key or OAuth token issued by your GHL account. Keep credentials secure, rotate keys periodically, and grant only the minimum required scope (e.g., contacts.readonly) if you do not need write access. Use securely stored credentials in Stackby’s connection settings.
Yes. Field mappings let you specify exactly which GHL data fields map to which Stackby columns. You can rename fields for clarity, transform values, and handle optional fields to ensure data integrity across systems.
You can sync core contact data, related tasks, notes, and appointments. The integration supports creating, updating, and linking records across both platforms, so you can build a unified view of each contact.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan. Plan for typical request bursts and implement simple retries with backoff in Stackby to avoid hitting limits. If you anticipate high traffic, consider staggering synchronization schedules.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
