Establish secure access to the Contacts API using OAuth 2.0 with the scope contacts.readonly to protect data while enabling read access for workflows between GHL and Starshipit.
Authorize Starshipit to access your GHL Contacts data from the GHL dashboard, generating client credentials and configuring the redirect URI for a smooth connection.
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

Key fields: contactId, firstName, lastName, email, phone
Trigger: a new or updated task for a contact in GHL
Actions: create or update tasks in Starshipit and reflect status and due dates
METHOD PATH: GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: taskId, title, dueDate, status, assignedTo
Trigger: notes or appointments updated for a contact in GHL
Actions: capture notes and appointments into the Starshipit contact record for a complete history
METHOD PATH: GET /contacts/:contactId/notes and GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments
Key fields: notes, noteId, appointmentTime, appointmentId
Automate data sync without writing code, ensuring Starshipit always has up-to-date contact data and activity history.
Reduce manual data entry by syncing contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments across systems in real time.
Scale workflows with consistent data mapping, error handling, and easy reconfiguration in the Zapier App Connector.
A concise glossary of terms used in this integration and how data flows between GHL, the Contacts API, and Starshipit.
The REST API provided by GHL to access contact data, tasks, notes, and more for the Contacts scope.
The standard protocol used to authorize Starshipit to access your GHL data securely.
Specific URL paths used to fetch or modify resources, such as /contacts/:contactId and /contacts/:contactId/tasks.
Real-time event notifications that trigger your automations when data changes in GHL.
Create a flow that creates a new Starshipit contact when a new contact is added in GHL, and automatically pulls related tasks and notes for a complete profile.
Trigger reminders in Starshipit when tasks are due or updated, keeping teams aligned across platforms.
Aggregate notes and appointments into a single Starshipit view to improve customer history and context.
Create or locate your GHL API credentials and ensure the Contacts scope is enabled for read access.
Map GHL contact fields to Starshipit fields, including tasks, notes, and appointments mappings.
Run tests, verify data flow end-to-end, and enable live automation for your team.
The Contacts API scope provides access to core contact records, their tasks, notes, and appointments. This enables read-only retrieval of data needed to populate Starshipit workflows and dashboards while protecting sensitive write actions. You can use these endpoints to surface up-to-date context for customer interactions. In practice, you’ll pull essential fields such as names, emails, and associated activities to keep your teams aligned. The read-only nature reduces risk while delivering powerful visibility.
No heavy coding is required. The integration uses a Zapier App Connector along with OAuth 2.0 authentication to connect GHL and Starshipit. You configure field mappings and trigger filters in the connector UI, then enable the automation. For more complex transformations, light scripting or built-in formatter steps can handle simple data shaping without coding.
Critical endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch profiles, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks for task context, and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes for notes. For a richer view, you’ll also pull appointments with GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments. These paths give you the core data surfaces needed to build reliable, cross-system workflows.
Authentication uses OAuth 2.0 with a scoped access token, paired with best-practice credential handling. Access is restricted to read-only actions per the scope, and tokens can be rotated or revoked from your GHL or app dashboard. All data transfer follows standard encryption and industry best practices to protect sensitive customer data.
Yes. You can customize which fields are mapped and surfaced in Starshipit by editing the mapper in the app connector. If you need to ignore certain fields or rename mappings for clarity, you can adjust them in the UI without touching code. Advanced users can also add simple data transforms to format values during sync.
If a mismatch occurs, the system will log the discrepancy and attempt to re-sync on the next cycle. You can set up conflict resolution rules in the mapping layer. Regular monitoring and alerting help ensure data parity across GHL and Starshipit.
API credentials are issued by the GHL developer console when you create an app integration. You can revoke access at any time from the same console. If you notice unauthorized activity, rotate the client secret and reauthorize the connection to maintain security.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
