Authenticate to the Contacts API using the credentials you obtain from the GHL developer portal. Use the scope contacts.readonly for read operations, and generate a token for secure API calls.
Tellephant authenticates with GHL using OAuth 2.0 client credentials or an API key, depending on your setup. Store credentials securely and rotate them regularly.

Automations can be built without writing code, using the endpoints to drive actions.
Fast setup with visual workflows and mindfully mapped data fields.
Consistent data across systems with automated updates and sync.
This glossary covers API terms, endpoints, triggers, actions, and data fields used when connecting GHL Contacts API with Tellephant.
A defined URL path that exposes a specific operation in the API.
Industry standard for authorizing access to APIs without sharing user credentials.
Permissions granted to an access token to limit actions.
A URL endpoint that receives real-time event data from the API.
Pull external data into contact records to enrich profiles in Tellephant.
Create tasks when a new contact enters the system and guide onboarding.
Use webhooks and endpoints to keep records in sync across apps.
Create a GHL API key or OAuth client in the GHL developer portal and note the credentials.
Configure the connection in Tellephant and set the scope to contacts.readonly.
Test API calls, map contact fields, and set up automated workflows.
You authenticate using OAuth 2.0 or API keys provided in the GHL developer portal. Your token should be included in API requests. Keep credentials secure and rotate them regularly.
The endpoints cover read and write operations such as retrieving contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments, as well as creating, updating, and deleting records. Specifically you can GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE resources like /contacts, /contacts/:contactId, /contacts/:contactId/tasks and related endpoints, depending on your workflow.
Yes, you can update and delete contacts via PUT /contacts/:contactId and DELETE /contacts/:contactId. Ensure your access token has the required permissions for write operations. Always test changes in a sandbox before going live.
Map fields between systems by aligning GHL contact fields such as name, email, and phone with Tellephant fields. Use the mapping options in your integration to ensure data consistency and format compatibility.
Rate limits exist for API calls. If your workload is high, implement retry logic and backoff. Review your GHL plan for quotas and consider batching requests where possible.
Yes, webhooks can be used to trigger actions in Tellephant when events occur in GHL, such as contact updates or new tasks. Configure your webhook endpoints in GHL and map the events to Tellephant workflows.
No deep coding is required for standard setups. The integration is designed to be visual and no-code, with optional advanced steps for developers who want custom mappings and automation.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
