Authenticate requests using your GHL API key or OAuth token to securely access contacts, notes, tasks, and appointments from Textla.
Textla uses your provided credentials to authorize API calls, store tokens securely, and refresh access as needed.
– 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 GHL, Textla fetches the latest data.
Actions: pull the contact record and sync key fields (name, email, phone); also pull related notes, tasks, and appointments if required.
GET /contacts/:contactId
id, name, email, phone, lastModified
Trigger: scheduled nightly pull or on-demand sync to refresh all contacts in Textla.
Actions: GET /contacts/ to pull all records; create or update local Textla contacts; sync metadata like status and tags.
GET /contacts/
id, name, email, phone, status
Trigger: new contact in Textla pushes to GHL to create a corresponding record.
Actions: POST /contacts/ to create; POST /contacts/:contactId/tags to apply tags; POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to add initial follow-ups.
POST /contacts/; POST /contacts/:contactId/tags; POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
id, name, email, createdAt, tags

Secure authentication and scalable endpoints let your integration grow with your business.
This glossary defines API, endpoint, authentication, and data flow terms used in the Textla to Contacts API integration.
Application Programming Interface: a defined set of endpoints that enable software components to communicate.
The process of verifying identity and granting access to the API (e.g., API keys, OAuth tokens).
A specific URL path used to perform an action in the API.
A label attached to a contact to categorize or segment records.
Automatically enrich contact records in Textla using data from the GHL Contacts API.
Route leads to different Textla pipelines based on tags.
Create reminders in Textla when appointments are scheduled in GHL.
Obtain your API key or OAuth token from GHL and configure in Textla.
Select the endpoints you need (e.g., GET /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts/, GET /contacts/) and map fields.
Run test scenarios, confirm data sync, set up alerts and logging.
The GHL Contacts API supports key authentication methods, including API keys and OAuth tokens. Choose the method your organization uses, and ensure your Textla setup securely stores and refreshes credentials. The API requires proper scopes to access contacts data, so verify that your credentials have at least contacts.readonly access for viewing data. The recommended practice is to rotate credentials regularly and implement secure storage with encryption. The combination of appropriate scopes and secure handling helps minimize risk while enabling productive automations.
Common endpoints used with Textla include GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch a contact, GET /contacts/ to list contacts, and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to retrieve tasks. For creating or updating records, use POST /contacts/ and PUT /contacts/:contactId. You can also retrieve notes and appointments with GET endpoints to provide richer context for automation and follow-ups.
No-code integration is supported within Textla’s interface; you can map fields, set triggers, and configure actions without writing code. For more advanced workflows, you can extend capabilities with Zapier or custom automations. If needed, you can also implement lightweight scripts to handle special data transformations.
To fetch a single contact, call GET /contacts/:contactId and pass the contact’s unique ID. The response will include core fields such as id, name, email, and phone, along with any linked data that your GHL account exposes.
Yes, Textla can create new contacts via POST /contacts/ when a trigger occurs. You can also update existing contacts using PUT /contacts/:contactId to reflect changes from Textla into GHL.
You can manage tasks, notes, and appointments by using POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, and GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments. Include IDs and statuses to keep records synchronized across systems.
Rate limits vary by GHL plan; check your API usage limits in your GHL account and documentation. Best practices include using pagination for large lists, implementing exponential backoff on failures, caching frequently requested data, and logging all integration activity for auditing.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
