Obtain an access token with the scope contacts.readonly and include it in the Authorization header for every request to the GHL API.
TeamUp uses secure tokens to call the GHL API on behalf of a user. Keep tokens secret, refresh them as needed, and pass them with each request.

Trigger: when a contact is opened or created in TeamUp
Actions: fetch the contact profile using GET /contacts/:contactId, then pull related tasks and notes with endpoints 2–5
GET /contacts/:contactId
contactId, name, email, phone, owner, tags
Trigger: when a task is created or updated in GHL
Actions: retrieve tasks with GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks and update status with PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId and mark completed with PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
taskId, contactId, title, status, dueDate
Trigger: when notes are added or updated for a contact
Actions: read notes with GET /contacts/:contactId/notes and optionally create notes with POST /contacts/:contactId/notes
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
noteId, contactId, content, createdAt, updatedAt
No code integration lets you connect the Contacts API to TeamUp without writing server-side code.
Rely on REST endpoints to build flexible, scalable workflows inside TeamUp.
Easily extend with additional endpoints for richer data and automation across systems.
This glossary explains common terms used in this page: endpoint, trigger, action, token, scope, and related concepts.
A token used to authorize API requests to GHL.
A person entry in GHL with data like name, email, and notes.
A URL that exposes a specific function of the API.
Permissions granted for an API token, such as readonly or write access.
Automatically create a contact in TeamUp when a new lead is added in GHL using POST /contacts.
Create and update tasks based on contact activity using endpoints 2, 3 and 15.
Sync notes to TeamUp for quick context on each contact.
Register your app in GHL and obtain your API key or OAuth tokens. Ensure scope includes contacts.readonly.
Map the endpoints you will use, such as 1, 2, 4, and 10, into your TeamUp workflow.
Test calls in a sandbox, validate data, handle errors, and deploy to production.
The Contacts API scope shown as contacts.readonly limits read access to contact data. To create or modify records you would need write permissions and a token with the appropriate scope. Use the access token in the Authorization header for each request. Always follow the least-privilege principle and request only the permissions you need. The endpoint responses will include status codes and messages to help you troubleshoot.
You can read contact details, tasks, notes, and basic related data with endpoints 1–7 and 4–6. Structure your calls to minimize round-trips, and consider batching where supported. Use GET /contacts for lists and GET /contacts/:contactId for a single contact, then fetch related data as needed.
Write endpoints exist for creating and updating contacts, tasks, and notes. To modify data you must have a token with write scope. Validate input data on your side and handle server errors gracefully with retries and backoff. Always confirm changes with the API response.
Requests must include an Authorization header with a valid access token. Use HTTPS, rotate tokens regularly, and store credentials securely. If a token expires, refresh it using your app’s OAuth flow and retry the request.
Test calls in a sandbox environment before going live. Use sample contact IDs and tasks, inspect responses, and log errors. Validate rate limits and handle retries to ensure a smooth user experience in TeamUp.
Common errors include invalid tokens, insufficient scope, missing required fields, and not found errors for non-existent resources. Check the HTTP status codes, read the response body for error messages, and adjust your requests accordingly.
Official endpoint documentation is available in your GHL developer portal. The docs cover endpoint paths, required parameters, response schemas, and examples. Use the glossary to understand terms and ensure consistent terminology in your app.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
