Authenticate requests using OAuth 2.0 with a connected GHL app. By default the integration uses the contacts.readonly scope; if you need write access for creating or updating records, ensure your app is granted the appropriate permissions.
Storylane authenticates to the GHL API on behalf of your account via OAuth tokens issued to the Storylane app. Store tokens securely and refresh them before they expire.
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; API Endpoint9: 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 updated in GHL, push the changes to Storylane to keep records in sync.
Actions: update contact in GHL, refresh Storylane’s contact profile, and propagate changes to related tasks and notes.
Method: PATCH /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, name, email
Trigger: a new or updated task in GHL creates or updates a corresponding Storylane task.
Actions: create or update Storylane tasks, adjust status, due dates, and assignees.
Method: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: contactId, taskId, status
Trigger: notes added or updated in Storylane push to GHL notes.
Actions: create or update GHL notes linked to the contact, with timestamps and author.
Method: POST /contacts/:contactId/notes
Key fields: contactId, noteId, content
Benefit: fast, code-free data flow between Storylane and GHL for core CRM records.
Benefit: a centralized view of contacts, tasks, and notes that supports streamlined campaigns and follow-ups.
Benefit: scalable collaboration with role-based access and reusable templates.
This section covers API endpoints, authentication flows, data fields, and the data movement between Storylane and the GHL Contacts API, including mapping common fields like name, email, notes, and tasks.
Definition: A specific URL and HTTP method used to interact with the GHL API.
Definition: The process used to prove identity and authorize actions (OAuth tokens).
Definition: The standard authorization framework to obtain access tokens for API calls.
Definition: The maximum number of API requests allowed in a given time window.
Automatically generate follow-up tasks in Storylane when a new contact is added in GHL, ensuring timely outreach.
Push notes from GHL into Storylane to keep all context in one place.
Show core contact data, tasks, and notes in a single Storylane view for quick insights.
Enable API access, register your Storylane app, and obtain client credentials.
Enter your GHL app credentials in Storylane and select the endpoints to sync.
Run test flows, review logs, and deploy the integration to production.
Answer: Generally no dedicated coding is required; Storylane provides a no-code connector that uses the GHL API. If you need to tailor fields or behaviors, you can customize mappings and triggers in the Storylane settings. For advanced use, you may add small automation rules or webhooks to extend functionality.
Answer: The most common endpoints are GET /contacts/:contactId for retrieving people, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks for related tasks, and POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks for creating tasks. Many users also pull notes via GET /contacts/:contactId/notes and push updates with PUT or POST variants depending on permissions.
Answer: Data often updates within minutes, depending on your poll rate and GHL rate limits. Real-time or near real-time syncing is achievable with properly configured webhooks and polling intervals.
Answer: Yes. You can map which fields sync (name, email, company, last activity) and choose directionality (Storylane to GHL, or GHL to Storylane). Field mappings can be adjusted in the integration panel.
Answer: Typically you authenticate per GHL account; you do not need separate keys for read-only vs write unless you operate across multiple accounts. Each connected app has its own credentials and token lifecycle.
Answer: Rate limits apply per account and endpoint. Plan for bursts by staggering requests and using exponential backoff in case of errors.
Answer: Debug logs, request traces, and error messages are available in the Storylane integration panel. You can export logs for review or share them with support for faster troubleshooting.
