Authenticate with OAuth 2.0 credentials to securely access the Contacts API using the defined scope. Store tokens securely and refresh as needed.
Configure Superthread to authorize with GHL, request necessary permissions, and securely store access tokens for API calls.

Visual workflow building with drag‑and‑drop blocks for rapid integration
Unified contact data across apps without writing code
Faster time‑to‑value with ready‑to‑use endpoints and templates
Understand the building blocks: endpoints, triggers, actions, and fields used in the GHL Contacts API when integrating with Superthread.
A specific URL path and HTTP method used to access a resource in a web API.
An event that starts an automation or workflow.
An operation executed by the integration in response to a trigger.
A data attribute stored for a resource, such as name or email.
Demonstrate live sync of contact changes from GHL into Superthread’s activity timeline.
Automatically create tasks in Superthread when a new contact is added in GHL.
Attach notes and appointment history from GHL to the contact timeline in Superthread.
Obtain OAuth credentials and set the scope to contacts.readonly for read access.
Select endpoints 1-17 and map fields between GHL and Superthread.
Run tests, verify data sync, and enable automated monitoring.
Yes. A developer account or a connected app with OAuth credentials is typically required to securely access GHL endpoints. This ensures you can request tokens and manage scopes for safe data access. In most setups, you will configure the app in the GHL developer portal, generate client credentials, and exchange them for access tokens that authorize API calls from Superthread.
The primary permission is contacts.readonly to fetch contact data without modifying the source. If you need write capabilities, you would request additional scopes (such as contacts.write) and ensure your app handles write operations securely. Always follow least-privilege principles.
Read access is possible with the default scope. Write access requires elevated permissions and explicit consent. Use careful field mapping to avoid unintended data changes. Implement retries and conflict resolution for data integrity.
There are typical API rate limits and quotas that vary by plan. Plan accordingly with batching, exponential backoff, and caching where appropriate. Monitor usage in the app to avoid hitting limits during peak times.
Test endpoints in a sandbox or staging environment first. Use synthetic data, validate responses, and verify error handling paths. Then move to production with careful rollout and monitoring.
Yes. The integration supports no‑code configurations via the Zapier App Connector and builder blocks. For advanced needs, you can extend with custom fields and precise mappings without writing code.
Errors are surfaced with standard HTTP status codes and descriptive messages. Retries follow a backoff policy. Logs and dashboards help you identify root causes and ensure reliable retries.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
