Authenticate API calls to the Contacts API using your GHL credentials. Scope: contacts.readonly ensures you can view contact data securely and in compliance with permission settings.
Text Request connections use standard OAuth2 flows or API keys. Store credentials securely, rotate keys regularly, and verify scopes align with your integration needs.
Primary endpoints used in this integration 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: When a contact is needed in Text Request, pull the record from the Contacts API using the contactId.
Actions: Retrieve core fields (name, email, phone) and map them into Text Request. Keep the contact record synchronized on changes.
GET /contacts/:contactId
contactId, name, email, phone
Trigger: On contact update in Text Request, fetch the list of tasks for that contact.
Actions: Retrieve tasks data, map status and dueDate, and update task records in Text Request as needed.
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
contactId, taskId, status, dueDate
Trigger: When a detailed task is requested in Text Request, pull the task from the API.
Actions: Retrieve task details and map fields such as description, status, and dueDate into Text Request.
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId
contactId, taskId, description, status, dueDate
No‑code setup lets you connect Contacts API and Text Request without writing code, delivering faster time to value.
Real‑time data synchronization reduces manual data entry and minimizes errors across systems.
Scalable architecture supports additional endpoints and workflows as needs grow.
This section defines essential terms, data flow concepts, and how the endpoints map to Text Request workflows.
API stands for Application Programming Interface — a defined set of rules that lets applications talk to each other.
An endpoint is a specific URL path in an API used to perform an action or retrieve data.
OAuth is an authorization framework that issues access tokens to securely authorize API requests.
A webhook is a callback URL that receives real-time event notifications from another service.
Automatically fill missing contact fields in Text Request by pulling data from Contacts API when a new contact is added.
Create and synchronize tasks across both apps to keep teams aligned without manual updates.
Trigger notifications in Text Request whenever relevant contact changes occur in Contacts API.
List the contact fields you want to sync (name, phone, email) and decide how tasks and notes should flow between apps.
Create and store API credentials securely, then run tests to verify endpoints return expected data.
Turn on automation, monitor logs, and adjust mappings as your data requirements evolve.
In most cases you can set up basic connectivity without custom code by using the built‑in integration options. If you need to handle simple mappings, you can configure them via the UI. For complex workflows, you may extend functionality with lightweight scripts or automations. You still control the data that is synchronized and how often it updates.
You can typically sync core contact data (name, email, phone), notes, and tasks, depending on the endpoints enabled. You can also map custom fields and define when data should be created, updated, or read from either system.
Rate limits depend on your API plan. Use efficient queries and implement retries with backoff. If you anticipate high volume, consider batching requests and caching common data where appropriate.
Yes. You can choose which fields are pulled or pushed, and configure when to create, update, or delete records to keep both systems in sync with your business rules.
Test using a dedicated sandbox or development environment. Validate each endpoint’s response, verify data mappings, and simulate real user flows before enabling production automation.
The setup includes basic error codes and retry logic. If a call fails, the system can retry with exponential backoff and log failures for debugging. You can also add alerting on persistent errors.
API credentials are available in your account’s developer section. Renewals typically occur on a fixed schedule or when you rotate keys. Store credentials securely and restrict access to authorized users.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
