To access the Contacts API, generate a GHL API key and include it in your requests. Treat credentials as sensitive and rotate them periodically to maintain security.
In TalentLMS, obtain an API token or use OAuth as supported to authorize calls to the GHL Contacts API. Store tokens securely and limit their scope to the required endpoints.
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; contacts.write; 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

No-code automations via webhooks and pull/push workflows to keep data in sync without custom development.
Real-time data updates reduce manual reconciliation and improve accuracy.
Centralized contact data, tasks, and notes streamline campaigns and reporting.
Key elements and processes described below help you architect the integration between TalentLMS and the GHL Contacts API.
A specific URL for performing an action in an API, such as reading, creating, updating, or deleting a resource.
The process of proving identity to access the API, typically via API keys or OAuth tokens.
A callback mechanism where the server notifies your app about events in real time.
The portion of the URL that identifies the resource and action to perform.
Automatically push TalentLMS progress to the Contacts API to track learner journeys and tailor campaigns.
Create tasks in the Contacts API when learners hit milestones, enabling timely reminders for instructors.
Attach notes to learner profiles to segment audiences for targeted campaigns and follow-ups.
Collect your GHL API key and TalentLMS API token from their dashboards and store securely.
Map fields between TalentLMS and the Contacts API using the endpoints listed above.
Run tests in a sandbox, verify data flow, and deploy to production with monitoring.
You can use API keys or OAuth tokens. For GHL, generate an API key from your account settings and include it in the Authorization header. For TalentLMS, use its token system or OAuth as supported. Ensure secure storage and rotation.
The endpoints listed include reading, creating, updating, and deleting contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments. Use the endpoints corresponding to the actions you need (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE).
Yes. Use a sandbox or test environment provided by both platforms, and/or mock data to validate workflows before going live.
Implement retry logic, error handling, and logging. Check status codes and error messages in responses, then adjust your mappings.
Some no-code options exist via automation platforms, but this page focuses on the direct API integration; you can still build automations with Zapier-like tools if supported.
Typically contact fields (name, email, phone), task details, notes, and dates. Custom fields can be mapped as needed.
Look for API documentation on the GHL site and TalentLMS docs, plus any integration guides provided here or in your account.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
