Authentication uses your API credentials and scopes. Ensure your token has the contacts.readonly scope before requesting data.
Create and save a secure connection between Sunsama and the GHL Contacts API in your app dashboard. Use the APP credentials and never share secrets.
Core endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId, DELETE /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id, GET /contacts/business/:businessId, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed, POST /contacts/:contactId/tags.
Trigger: whenever a contact is updated in the Contacts API, create or update a Sunsama task to reflect the change.
Actions: GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks and POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; update tasks as needed.
GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
contactId, taskId, status, dueDate
Trigger: new contact created triggers a corresponding Sunsama task or contact record.
Actions: POST /contacts/, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
POST /contacts/, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
contactId, taskId, createdAt
Trigger: note or appointment updated in the Contacts API triggers a note or calendar entry in Sunsama.
Actions: GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments
noteId, appointmentId, contactId
Build automations using templates and triggers without writing code.
Automations run in the background to keep data in sync.
Scale from simple tasks to complex multi-step flows.
Definitions for the terms used in this integration guide, including API authentication, endpoints, and data mapping.
A method to verify identity and authorize requests to the API using keys or OAuth tokens.
A URL path in an API that corresponds to a specific data operation, such as retrieving a contact or creating a task.
Permissions granted to an access token that determine what data can be read or written.
Limits on how many requests you can make in a given time window to protect the API.
Automatically sync contact changes to Sunsama tasks and pull task updates back into GHL.
Spawn a Sunsama task for every new contact to ensure follow-ups.
Consolidate contact notes and appointments into a Sunsama note or calendar entry.
Register your app credentials in the GHL dashboard and secure them for Sunsama.
Authorize Sunsama to access Contacts data and run a test request to verify connectivity.
Create a sample workflow that syncs a contact to a Sunsama task and validates mapping.
The Sunsama Contacts API exposes endpoints to read contact data, tasks, notes, and more. You can fetch a single contact with GET /contacts/:contactId or retrieve a list of contacts with GET /contacts/. Typical use cases include syncing contact details to Sunsama tasks and pulling related notes. This helps you keep both systems aligned without manual entry. The API supports a range of read operations suited for no-code automation builders.
You authenticate using API keys or OAuth tokens. Create a secure connection in your GHL or Sunsama dashboard, request the contacts.readonly scope (and additional scopes as needed), and store tokens securely. Test the connection with a simple GET request to confirm access before building automations.
Yes. The Contacts API allows data creation and updates via endpoints like POST /contacts/ and PUT /contacts/:contactId. When enabled, you can map changes from Sunsama back into GHL to keep records up to date. Always start with a test environment and ensure proper permissions.
Required scopes vary by operation but typically include read and write permissions for contacts, tasks, and notes. For safe read-only use cases, contacts.readonly is sufficient. For write-backed automations, you will need the appropriate write scopes such as contacts.write.
Field mapping involves aligning Sunsama task fields with GHL contact fields (e.g., contactId, taskId, dueDate, status). Use consistent identifiers and test mappings with sample data to ensure data flows correctly between systems.
API rate limits exist to protect endpoints. Plan for bursts by scheduling batched calls or respecting min intervals between requests. If you hit limits, implement exponential backoff in your automation logic and stagger calls.
Sample requests and templates are available in the API documentation and starter templates within both Sunsama and GHL dashboards. Use these as starting points to build your first automation, then customize mappings and triggers for your workflow.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
