Authenticate all requests to the Contacts API with your GHL credentials. Use OAuth 2.0 bearer tokens or API keys as provided in your developer portal.
Authorize SuiteDash to access your Contacts data by completing the OAuth flow or providing an API token generated in the SuiteDash app environment.
Key endpoints for managing contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments are described below. Use the ones that fit your workflow: GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/, POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId, DELETE /contacts/:contactId, and related subresources.
Trigger: When a new contact is created or updated in SuiteDash to sync with Contacts API.
Actions: Create or update the corresponding contact in Contacts API; optionally attach initial tasks or notes.
POST /contacts/ and PUT /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: email (required), firstName, lastName, phone, and any unique identifier.
Trigger: when a task is created or updated for a contact in Contacts API to reflect in SuiteDash.
Actions: Create or update a task under the related contact; sync due dates and status.
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks and PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId
contactId, taskId, title, dueDate, status
Trigger: new notes or appointments for a contact.
Actions: create notes and appointments entries in both systems.
POST /contacts/:contactId/notes and POST /contacts/:contactId/appointments
contactId, noteId, appointmentId, content, date
No-code setup to connect the APIs and automate workflows without writing code.
Centralized contact data across apps, reducing duplication and manual entry.
Automated synchronization of tasks, notes, and appointments to keep teams in sync.
Overview of data elements and processes involved in a typical SuiteDash to Contacts API integration.
Application Programming Interface: a set of rules that allows your app to communicate with the GHL Contacts API.
OAuth 2.0 is an authorization framework that enables secure access tokens for API calls.
A specific URL path in an API that performs a defined action, such as /contacts/:contactId.
A mechanism for real-time notifications from the API when data changes occur.
When a new lead is captured in SuiteDash, automatically create or update a contact in the Contacts API with essential fields.
Sync tasks across SuiteDash and Contacts API to track task status and due dates from a single place.
Attach and sync notes between SuiteDash and Contacts API to build a rich customer history.
Log into the GHL developer portal and generate API keys or OAuth credentials for the Contacts API, then add them to SuiteDash.
Specify the required endpoints and scopes such as contacts.readonly and contacts.write in your integration settings.
Test the connection with sample data, verify field mappings, and deploy the workflow to production.
Answer: The Contacts API in SuiteDash allows read and write access to contact records, tasks, notes, and appointments. You can pull contact details, update statuses, and attach tasks or notes to a contact. This enables a unified view of each contact across your tools. Two-way sync ensures changes in either system reflect in the other, reducing manual data entry.
Answer: No heavy coding is required. Use the built-in connectors in SuiteDash to map fields and set up triggers and actions. If you need custom logic, you can extend with lightweight automation or Zapier as a bridge. For most teams, no-code configuration is sufficient to get started quickly.
Answer: Common endpoints include GET /contacts, GET /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts, PUT /contacts/:contactId, and endpoints for tasks, notes, and appointments. At minimum, you’ll wire read/write access on contacts and the related subresources to enable core sync. Review the endpoint list to tailor to your workflow.
Answer: Data security is protected by OAuth 2.0 tokens or API keys, encrypted transmission, and granular scopes. You control who can access which endpoints, and you can rotate credentials regularly. Always adhere to your organization’s security policies when configuring credentials.
Answer: Yes. Field mappings between SuiteDash and Contacts API can be customized in the integration settings. Map typical fields like email, firstName, lastName, and phone, and add custom fields as needed. You can also set default values for missing data.
Answer: Implement retry logic and error handling in your workflow. Use built-in retry rules, monitor webhook delivery statuses, and log failures. If a transient error occurs, the system will retry; for persistent issues, review endpoint mappings and permissions.
Answer: Comprehensive API docs and support are available in the GHL developer portal and SuiteDash documentation. If you need help beyond the docs, contact support or your account manager for assistance with advanced configurations.
