The Contacts API requires a valid API token with at least read access (scope: contacts.readonly). Use your GHL developer credentials to obtain tokens and rotate them regularly.
To securely connect The Flybook to GHL, store credentials securely, use encrypted storage, and apply least-privilege access. If supported, use OAuth or API keys for ongoing authentication.
GET /contacts/:contactId — Retrieve a single contact GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks — List tasks for a contact GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Retrieve a specific task GET /contacts/:contactId/notes — List notes for a contact GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id — Retrieve a specific note GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments — List appointments GET /contacts/ — List contacts GET /contacts/business/:businessId — Retrieve business context contacts.write — Token scope for write operations POST /contacts/ — Create a contact PUT /contacts/:contactId — Update a contact DELETE /contacts/:contactId — Delete a contact POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks — Create a task PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Update a task PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed — Mark a task complete DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Delete a task POST /contacts/:contactId/tags — Tag a contact
Trigger: a new contact is created in The Flybook
Actions: POST /contacts/ to create the contact in GHL; map fields like name, email, phone; optionally add a default tag or note
POST /contacts/
name, email, phone, company
Trigger: a Flybook contact is updated
Actions: PUT /contacts/:contactId to update in GHL; map updated fields; keep id mappings intact
PUT /contacts/:contactId
contactId, name, email, phone
Trigger: a new task is created in GHL for a contact
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks in The Flybook to mirror the task
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
contactId, taskTitle, dueDate, status
Automate data sync without writing code using built-in triggers and actions.
Keep notes, tasks, and contacts aligned across systems in real-time.
Leverage no-code automation templates for common workflows (create, update, complete tasks).
Key elements include endpoints, actions, triggers, data fields, and authentication processes involved in connecting The Flybook with the GHL Contacts API.
GHL API is the programmatic interface that lets apps read and write data in GHL, including contacts, tasks, notes, and more, using RESTful calls.
An endpoint is a URL in the API that performs a specific action, such as retrieving a contact or creating a task.
Authentication verifies identity and grants access to API resources via tokens or OAuth.
Payload is the data sent to or from the API in a request or response.
Set up a trigger to create a GHL contact whenever The Flybook records a new lead, including name, email, and company.
Mirror task updates from GHL to The Flybook or vice versa to keep teams aligned.
Apply and sync tags for precise segmentation across Flybook and GHL.
Obtain and authorize access tokens for both platforms, respecting scope.
Create a mapping of contact fields between The Flybook and GHL (name, email, phone, tags).
Run tests to ensure data sync is accurate and set up monitoring before going live.
You can start with no-code tools like Zapier App Connector to link The Flybook and GHL. Use webhooks to trigger actions and avoid server code. If you do code, you can write small scripts to transform and route data between systems.
Begin with retrieving contact lists and tasks to understand data structure. Then expand to update and create operations as you confirm field mappings.
Yes. Use PUT /contacts/:contactId to update in GHL when changes occur in The Flybook. Maintain id mappings to ensure correct records.
Yes, the GHL API enforces rate limits. Plan backoff strategies and batch requests where possible. Monitor requests with logs.
Check token validity, refresh expiration, and scope. Verify the endpoint URL and ensure the correct contactId is used. Review error codes in the API response.
Yes, Zapier App Connector can simplify this integration without code. You can map fields and set triggers for common workflows.
In the app settings, you can define field mappings, triggers, and test data. Use sample payloads to validate.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
