To use the GHL Contacts API in this integration, you’ll need proper authentication with the required scope: contacts.readonly. Prepare your GHL credentials and ensure your app has the necessary permissions to read contact data.
Textlocal authentication relies on its own API token or credentials. Store and rotate these securely, and grant the integration access to manage contacts and related resources.
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: A new or updated contact in GHL starts the data flow to Textlocal.
Actions: Create or update the contact in Textlocal; create initial tasks; attach notes as needed.
METHOD PATH: GET /contacts/:contactId and POST /contacts/ to reflect reading and creating.
Key fields: contactId, name, email, phone, language, tags
Trigger: Changes to a contact’s tasks or notes in GHL trigger updates in Textlocal.
Actions: Create tasks and notes in Textlocal; update task completion status as they change in GHL.
METHOD PATH: GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
Key fields: contactId, taskId, noteId, title, content
Trigger: Contact metadata or tag changes in GHL feed updates to Textlocal.
Actions: Update contact in Textlocal with new tags and metadata; synchronize status.
METHOD PATH: PUT /contacts/:contactId and POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
Fields: contactId, tags, status, lifecycleStage
Automate routine data sync without writing custom code, reducing manual work.
Centralize contact data across GHL and Textlocal for a single source of truth.
Speed up onboarding and updates with automated workflows and real-time sync.
This section defines the core data elements (contacts, tasks, notes, appointments, tags) and the processes (auth, mapping, sync, error handling) used by this integration.
GHL API refers to the RESTful endpoints provided by GHL to manage contacts, tasks, notes, appointments, and more within the GHL platform.
A note attached to a contact in GHL; stored in the Notes resource.
A to-do item associated with a contact in GHL; can be updated as completed.
A label assigned to a contact in GHL for segmentation and routing.
Trigger new contact creation in Textlocal when a lead enters GHL, and route them to the right campaign.
Automatically generate follow-up tasks in Textlocal when a contact moves through stages in GHL.
Consolidate notes and activity into a single timeline for each contact across GHL and Textlocal.
Obtain credentials for both GHL and Textlocal and set the correct scopes (contacts.readonly for GHL).
Map GHL contact fields to Textlocal contact fields such as name, email, phone, and notes.
Test in a sandbox, verify data sync, then deploy to production.
Answer: No-code options exist via connectors like Zapier, but some setup is required to authorize both apps and map fields. The process is designed to be approachable for non-developers while still providing flexibility for advanced users.
Answer: For a basic sync, use endpoints like GET /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts/, and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to pull and push essential data such as contact details and tasks.
Answer: You authenticate with GHL using API credentials and with Textlocal using its token. Ensure scopes cover the data you need and securely store credentials.
Answer: Yes. Tasks and notes can be synchronized automatically as triggers and actions in your integration workflow run.
Answer: By default, the integration maps common fields like name, email, phone, and notes; you can customize mappings per your needs.
Answer: Implement retry logic, handle rate limits, log errors, and provide fallback flows to ensure reliability.
Answer: Test in a sandbox or staging environment, then monitor live runs through the Zapier/connector dashboard and logs.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
