This glossary defines core terms and processes used to connect the GHL Contacts API with StreetFair, including authentication, endpoints, data mapping, and sync workflows.
A contact is a person in your CRM with data such as name, email, phone, and notes.
An API endpoint is a specific URL path that performs a defined operation against the API.
A task is an action item linked to a contact used to track follow-ups or activities.

Answer: The GHL Contacts API lets StreetFair read contact data and linked items like tasks and notes. This page explains how to authenticate, call endpoints, and map fields for a smooth, no-code-like integration. You can fetch, create, update, and delete contacts as needed. The goal is reliable data flow between StreetFair and GHL while staying within the given scope (contacts.readonly).
Answer: Basic setup does not require heavy coding if you use the Zapier App Connector and the provided endpoints. However, you may need to configure app authentication, field mappings, and trigger/audit steps. For advanced workflows, light scripting or a middleware can help, but most teams can start with no-code steps.
Answer: For basic syncing, you’ll typically use GET /contacts/:contactId to read a contact, plus POST /contacts/ to create, and PUT /contacts/:contactId to update. Tasks and notes endpoints are optional but common for richer data sync.
Answer: Security is ensured by using OAuth or API keys with scoped permissions, secure storage, and regular credential rotation. Use HTTPS for all requests and enable retry/error handling features in your integration platform.
Answer: Yes. You can map fields like name, email, phone, notes, and custom fields between StreetFair and GHL. Use data validation and transformation steps to maintain consistency.
Answer: Plan for transient errors with retries, exponential backoff, and clear error logs. Implement dead-letter queues or alerting for persistent failures.
Answer: Sync status is typically shown in the integration dashboard, with logs for each call, timestamps, and error details. You can set alerts for failures and retrial attempts.
