Authenticate via OAuth 2.0 and request the scope ‘contacts.readonly’ to view contact data. For write actions, request ‘contacts.write’ with proper permissions.
In Textiful, configure OAuth credentials from your GHL developer console and exchange tokens to establish trusted sessions for API calls to the Contacts API.
GET /contacts/:contactId — Retrieve a single contact GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks — List tasks for a contact GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Get a specific task GET /contacts/:contactId/notes — List notes for a contact GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id — Get a specific note GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments — List appointments for a contact GET /contacts/ — List contacts GET /contacts/business/:businessId — Retrieve contacts by business contacts.write — Write permissions scope for contacts POST /contacts/ — Create a new contact PUT /contacts/:contactId — Update a contact DELETE /contacts/:contactId — Delete a contact POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks — Create a task for a contact PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Update a task PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed — Mark a task as completed DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Delete a task POST /contacts/:contactId/tags — Add tags to a contact
Trigger when a contact is created or updated in GHL and pull data into Textiful.
Actions: fetch the full contact profile, then update the Textiful record and trigger subsequent automations.
GET /contacts/:contactId
id, name, email, phone, status
Trigger when a new contact is created in Textiful or a field is updated.
Actions: create or update a contact in GHL via POST /contacts/ or PUT /contacts/:contactId
POST /contacts/ and PUT /contacts/:contactId
name, email, phone, tags
Trigger on tag changes or note updates for a contact.
Actions: update tags via POST /contacts/:contactId/tags; pull notes via GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
POST /contacts/:contactId/tags and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
tags, notes
Automate repetitive workflows without writing a line of code
Keep data synchronized across GHL and Textiful with reliable webhooks
Build custom automations and dashboards in minutes
Key concepts explained to help you design, implement, and troubleshoot the Textiful + GHL integration.
A standard authorization framework used to obtain access tokens for API requests.
A specific URL where an API can be accessed to perform a function.
A token used to authenticate API calls on behalf of a user or app.
A mechanism for real-time data updates triggered by events in an app.
Sync updated contacts instantly to Textiful and start tailored follow-up sequences.
Use tags and notes to route leads to the right teams or sequences.
Pull contact data into reports and dashboards for insights and SLA tracking.
Obtain OAuth tokens and authorize Textiful to access your Contacts data in GHL.
Connect endpoint paths in Textiful to the GHL Contacts API (e.g., GET /contacts/:contactId).
Run test requests, verify data flow, and monitor logs to ensure reliable syncing.
The scope ‘contacts.readonly’ grants read access to your contacts and related resources. For write operations, you may need ‘contacts.write’ permission. Always follow the principle of least privilege.
Authenticate via OAuth 2.0 with client credentials from your GHL developer dashboard. Exchange tokens in Textiful to authorize API calls and protect data in transit.
This integration supports standard REST endpoints listed in the page. Use GET for reads, POST for creates, PUT for updates, and DELETE for removals. Endpoints are exposed under /contacts and related resources.
Yes. You can create and update contacts with POST and PUT requests. Deleting a contact uses DELETE /contacts/:contactId. Ensure you have the correct permissions.
If you hit rate limits, implement exponential backoff, space requests, and review your quota. Check the response headers for rate limit details.
A sandbox or test API environment helps validate changes before production. Use test data and monitor logs to confirm expected behavior.
Refer to the official API docs and the Textiful integration guide for developer resources, sample code, and best practices.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
