Authenticate requests with a GHL access token. Use the scope that matches your needs (contacts.readonly for reading). For write operations, request the appropriate scope such as contacts.write.
Include the access token in the Authorization header as Bearer {token}. Ensure your app’s OAuth flow returns a token with the required scopes for the endpoints you call.
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 created or updated in Textellent, fetch the corresponding contact from GHL to keep records in sync.
Actions: Retrieve core fields, display them in Textellent, and update the Textellent profile as needed.
GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, name, email
Trigger: Changes to a contact’s tasks in GHL should trigger updates in Textellent.
Actions: List, create, update, and mark tasks as completed.
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: taskId, contactId, status, dueDate
Trigger: Notes are added or updated on a contact in GHL.
Actions: Retrieve notes, create notes, and apply tags to the Textellent profile.
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
Key fields: id, content, author, createdAt
Faster automation between GHL and Textellent without custom code.
Unified data: keep contact records in sync across systems for accurate insights.
Extend with automations and webhooks for scalable workflows.
Definitions of essential terms and data processes used in this GHL-Textellent integration.
A URL path and HTTP method used to access a resource in an API.
The process of proving identity to access an API, typically via tokens or OAuth.
OAuth 2.0 is a standard for token-based authorization used by many APIs.
An object or data entity exposed by an API (for example, a contact, note, or task).
Automatically create a Textellent contact when a new GHL contact is added, reducing manual data entry.
Apply Textellent tags based on GHL attributes to enable precise audience segmentation.
Create GHL tasks from Textellent events to drive timely follow-ups and activity tracking.
Obtain an OAuth token with the required scopes (contacts.readonly for reading, contacts.write for changes) for GHL.
Create a connection in Textellent to call the Contacts API endpoints, and pass the token with requests.
Run tests with sample contacts, tasks, and notes to verify data sync and monitor logs.
Yes. For read operations you typically need the contacts.readonly scope. If you plan to create, update, or delete resources, request the appropriate write scopes (for example, contacts.write). Always follow your organization’s API access policy. Start with read-only tests to confirm connectivity, then request elevated permissions if needed. Ensure token handling and refresh flows are secure.
Read-only endpoints include listing and fetching contacts, notes, tasks, and appointments. These operations do not modify data. For write actions like creating or updating, you must hold a write scope and provide proper authorization. Always validate the response codes and error messages in your app.
Authentication is token-based. Obtain an OAuth 2.0 token with the required scopes, and include it in the Authorization header as Bearer {token}. Tokens should be stored securely and refreshed before expiry. Test token scopes against the endpoints you intend to call.
Yes. No-code tools can handle this integration using pre-built connectors, webhooks, and Zapier-style flows. You can connect Textellent to GHL using tokens and endpoints without writing code, though you may need to configure mappings and triggers carefully. Some familiarity with API concepts helps, but not required for basic setups.
Map core fields like contactId, name, email, and status between GHL and Textellent. Decide which fields are read from GHL and which are written back. Use tags or custom fields in Textellent to preserve critical attributes. Document data types and validation rules to prevent mismatches.
Tasks are synced by matching contactId. Use the tasks endpoints to fetch, create, or update tasks in one system based on the other. Ensure status, due dates, and completion flags stay consistent. Consider batching updates to minimize API calls.
Test endpoints in a staging environment, review request and response payloads, and check API rate limits. Use logs and dashboards to monitor activity. Most platforms provide a test mode or sandbox for safe validation.
