Authenticate with OAuth2 to obtain a token scoped to Contacts data. Store and refresh securely to maintain uninterrupted access.
In Sympla, establish a GHL connection by selecting the Contacts API and granting the required permissions for data access and updates.
Key endpoints include: 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, 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: New contact created in Sympla
Actions: POST /contacts/ to create a contact in GHL, then map core fields (name, email, phone) and link related tasks/notes.
POST /contacts/
name, email, phone, company
Trigger: Sympla contact updated
Actions: PUT /contacts/:contactId to mirror updates; optionally update linked tasks/notes.
PUT /contacts/:contactId
contactId, name, email, phone
Trigger: Tag added or updated in Sympla
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/tags to apply tags; pull related data to maintain segmentation.
POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
contactId, tags
Seamless data syncing between Sympla and GHL without manual imports, thanks to built-in connectors.
Automated workflows and trigger-based actions reduce repetitive admin tasks.
Unified contact history across platforms improves segmentation and follow-ups.
This glossary defines endpoints, triggers, actions, workflows, and field mappings used in Sympla to GHL data flows.
An event in Sympla or GHL that starts an automation or workflow.
An operation performed in response to a trigger, such as creating or updating a record.
A specific API URL and HTTP method used to access data.
The correspondence between a source data field in Sympla and a destination field in GHL.
Automatically create or update GHL contacts when new Sympla attendees register, and attach event tasks.
Tag contacts in GHL based on Sympla form responses to enable targeted follow-ups.
Batch sync and update large contact lists from Sympla to GHL to maintain consistency.
In the GHL developer portal, create a new connection for the Contacts API and authorize Sympla access.
Map Sympla fields (name, email, phone) to corresponding GHL contact fields for accurate syncing.
Create test triggers, verify endpoints, and enable automated workflows in a safe sandbox.
The Contacts API primarily provides access to contact records, their tasks, notes, and appointments. You can read contact data and related details to surface it in Sympla workflows. For write operations, you’ll need appropriate permissions and scopes granted by your GHL app configuration. Always validate data before updates to avoid conflicts.
Yes, creating or updating contacts generally requires a write or higher scope. If your integration is configured with read-only scope, you will be limited to retrieval operations. Review your app permissions in the GHL developer console to enable write access as needed.
Requests are authenticated using OAuth2 tokens issued by the GHL developer platform. Include the access token in the Authorization header of each API call. Tokens should be refreshed before expiration to maintain uninterrupted access.
Yes. The API supports filtering by identifiers like businessId and provides endpoints to fetch contacts in a business context. You can combine query parameters with endpoint paths to narrow results to your needs.
Field mapping is done by pairing Sympla fields (name, email, phone, etc.) with GHL contact fields. Establish a mapping plan in your app configuration and test with a small data set to ensure accurate transfers.
Core endpoints include: GET /contacts/:contactId to retrieve a contact, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to fetch tasks, POST /contacts/ to create a contact, PUT /contacts/:contactId to update, and POST /contacts/:contactId/tags to apply tags.
Yes. You can build no-code automations using your Zapier app connector and GHL integration. It’s possible to create triggers and actions that run without writing code, ideal for quick setup and testing.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
