Authenticate requests to GHL by using your API credentials. Store your OAuth or access token securely and include it in the Authorization header for each call (Example: Authorization: Bearer
Text-Em-All uses your connected app credentials in Zapier to access GHL data. Set up the connection once, then map fields to your Text-Em-All workflows.

Leverage Zapier to manage triggers, actions, and data mapping
Keep contact data synchronized across GHL and Text-Em-All
This glossary explains endpoints, triggers, actions, authentication, and data fields involved in connecting GHL Contacts API to Text-Em-All.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to interact with the GHL API and perform operations on your data.
An event that starts an automation, such as a contact update or new task created.
An operation the API performs in response to a trigger, such as reading or updating a contact.
The process of proving identity to access GHL data, typically via tokens in headers.
Pull notes and task history to enrich contact records and trigger campaigns in Text-Em-All.
Send timely Text-Em-All alerts when a contact’s status or notes change in GHL.
Sync multiple contacts to business records to unify campaigns across platforms.
Create or refresh an OAuth token for GHL API access and paste it into the Zapier connection settings.
Select Text-Em-All in Zapier, authorize, and choose the desired account.
Run test interactions, verify data mapping, and enable automation.
The GHL Contacts API scope for this integration is typically contacts.readonly, which allows reading contact data, tasks, and notes. For write-enabled actions, the app will request elevated permissions when needed. Ensure tokens are kept secure and rotated regularly. Always verify token scope before performing write operations and only request additional permissions when your workflow requires them.
Typical workflows rely on endpoints such as GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch a contact, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to retrieve tasks, and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes to pull notes. For updates, PUT /contacts/:contactId and POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks are common actions. Combine these calls in Zapier to build efficient, no-code automations between GHL and Text-Em-All.
Authentication is done via tokens passed in the Authorization header (Bearer token). Store tokens securely, rotate them regularly, and avoid embedding credentials in logs or shared spaces. Use Zapier’s built-in authentication flow to manage token refreshes automatically whenever possible.
Yes. You can modify contact fields with endpoints like PUT /contacts/:contactId and create or update related tasks with POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks. Ensure your app has the correct permissions before performing write operations. Always test changes in a staging environment before going live to protect data integrity.
The GHL API enforces rate limits that can result in 429 responses if you exceed them. Plan your calls with batching or queuing where possible, and implement exponential backoff in your automation. If you hit limits frequently, consider staggering requests or upgrading your API plan to increase quotas.
Yes. In addition to the Contacts API endpoints, you can explore related endpoints such as /contacts/business/:businessId and other supported resources. Map these into your Text-Em-All workflows to extend automation across business data. Always consult the latest API docs for endpoint availability and permission requirements.
API documentation for GHL is available on the GHL developer portal. It includes endpoint references, authentication guidance, and examples. Bookmark the docs to stay updated as endpoints and scopes evolve. For practical steps, refer to the integration tutorials and example workflows in the portal.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
