Authenticate requests to the Contacts API using your GHL credentials and OAuth 2.0 tokens. Generate a token in your GHL developer console and include it in the Authorization header for each call.
Strava uses OAuth 2.0. You’ll authorize the Strava app to access athlete data and receive a refreshable access token to call endpoints like GET /athlete and GET /activities.
– 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: when a contact is created or updated, fetch latest Strava activity data and attach it to the contact timeline.
Actions: create notes with activity summaries, update StravaUserId in the contact, and queue follow-up tasks for milestones.
Use GET /contacts/:contactId to retrieve the contact, and POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to create follow-ups based on activity milestones.
contactId, StravaUserId, activityId, lastActivityDate
Trigger: when a Strava segment is completed or a new activity is logged, update the matching contact segments.
Actions: update contact segments, add notes, and create segment-specific follow-ups.
Use POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to create follow-ups; use PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId to update tasks.
contactId, StravaSegmentId, segmentName, activityId
Trigger: when a Strava user links their account to a contact.
Actions: populate contact fields with Strava profile data (username, city, country, totals) and create activity summaries.
contactId, StravaUserId, profileName, city, country, totalAthleteStats
Quick setup with drag-and-drop automations—no code required.
Automated data sync reduces manual data entry and errors.
Custom workflows adapt CRM outcomes to Strava activity milestones.
Familiarize yourself with endpoints, triggers, actions, and fields used to connect Strava to the Contacts API.
A specific URL path that performs a defined operation in the GHL API.
An event that starts an automation when certain conditions are met.
A set of steps that run automatically in response to a trigger.
A callback URL that lets apps push data into GHL in real-time.
Create tasks and notes when Strava athletes hit milestones (PR, 5k, 10k) to keep your CRM proactive.
Pull basic Strava profile data into CRM fields to enrich contacts automatically.
Score leads by their training volume and activity consistency pulled from Strava.
Authorize the Strava app in GHL, select the Contacts API, and grant necessary scopes.
Map Strava data fields to Contacts API fields and pick the endpoints you will use (e.g., GET /contacts/:contactId).
Run tests, verify data flow, and switch to live.
Setup time varies with your familiarity with GHL. Most teams complete basic connections in under an hour using drag-and-drop automations. If you’re configuring advanced field mappings, reserve extra time for testing. The no-code approach lets you visualize data flow before going live. These steps ensure a stable connection: authorize Strava in GHL, pick the Contacts API, and grant the required scopes, then map fields and endpoints and run a focused test suite.
You will typically rely on endpoints like GET /contacts/:contactId and POST /contacts/ to read and create records, plus GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks or POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to manage assignments. The ENDPOINTLIST can guide which calls power your workflows. If you’re archiving notes or tagging, include GET /contacts/:contactId/notes and POST /contacts/:contactId/tags as needed. Always test with a sample contact to confirm field mappings and permissions.
OAuth is the standard for both sides. GHL uses OAuth 2.0 access tokens to authorize API calls, while Strava also relies on OAuth 2.0 for athlete data. You’ll exchange codes for tokens during initial setup and refresh tokens as needed to keep data flowing. Keep tokens secure and scope-limited to protect sensitive athlete and contact data.
Yes. You can map any Strava field that is exposed in the API to a corresponding CRM field in Contacts. The key is a clear naming convention and a test plan to verify data formats (dates, IDs, and identifiers). If a field is missing, you can create a custom field in the CRM or use a tag as a placeholder until the source data is available.
If the Strava athlete isn’t in Contacts yet, the integration can create a new contact record when the trigger fires. You can configure fallback logic to fetch essential Strava data and populate minimal fields, then guide your team to complete missing CRM data. You can also require a match on a unique StravaUserId to prevent duplicates.
Common errors include missing scopes, expired tokens, and rate limits. Use retry logic with exponential backoff, log errors, and display a clear message in the CRM. Always validate inputs, and keep sensitive keys out of logs. A quick test plan with a sandbox Strava account helps catch issues before production.
Yes. You can connect multiple Strava accounts, but each one should map to distinct contacts or identifiable profiles to avoid data overlap. Use a separate client ID/secret per app and implement a routing rule so activities land in the correct contact path. Document which Strava accounts belong to which CRM records to maintain clarity.
