Authenticate using an OAuth2 token or a dedicated API key, then include the credentials in the Authorization header for every request.
Thinkific authenticates when connected to the GHL API with app-scoped credentials. Ensure your app has the required scopes and securely store tokens.
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; contacts.write; 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 Thinkific student is created or updated to sync their contact in GHL.
Actions: create or update a GHL contact; link related tasks and notes as needed.
HTTP GET to /contacts/:contactId to fetch a single contact by ID.
Key fields: id, email, firstName, lastName, phone
Trigger when a new task is created or updated in Thinkific to reflect in GHL.
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed; DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId
HTTP POST to /contacts/:contactId/tasks to create a new task for a contact.
Fields: taskId, title, dueDate, status
Trigger when notes or tags are added or updated in Thinkific to mirror in GHL.
HTTP PUT to /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id to update a note.
Fields: noteId, note, updatedAt
Automates data sync without writing code, using templates and presets.
Centralizes student data for marketing, support, and onboarding.
Delivers fast time-to-value with reusable automation blocks.
This section defines the core elements of the integration: data mapping, authentication, endpoints, error handling, and monitoring.
Application Programming Interface: a set of rules that allows software to communicate with another service.
A specific URL in an API that performs a defined operation.
Authorization framework used to grant a third-party app access to a user’s resources with tokens.
A callback URL used for real-time data delivery between apps.
Create a workflow that auto-fetches new Thinkific students and creates a corresponding contact record in GHL with onboarding tasks.
Automatically apply tags in GHL based on Thinkific course enrollments or completion status.
Send real-time progress updates to a CRM feed when a student completes a milestone.
Gather your API key or OAuth client credentials from GHL and register Thinkific as an app with the required scopes.
Define how Thinkific fields map to GHL contact fields and select the endpoints you will use.
Run tests in a sandbox, verify data sync, then deploy to production with monitoring.
You can sync core contact fields like name, email, and phone between Thinkific and GHL to keep marketing, support, and onboarding aligned. You can also map enrollment status or course progress to custom fields for richer automation.
No coding is required if you use a no-code setup or templates. For advanced mappings, a developer can extend the workflow with custom endpoints, but most scenarios are covered by the standard connector.
For basic sync, focus on GET /contacts/:contactId and POST /contacts/. Other endpoints like notes and tasks enable deeper synchronization as your needs grow.
Security is delivered via OAuth2 or API keys, TLS transport, and least-privilege scopes. Store credentials securely and rotate them regularly; monitor for unusual activity.
Include retry logic with exponential backoff and clear error messages. Log failures and re-run failed tasks automatically or on-demand.
Yes. You can map Thinkific fields to GHL contact fields and use custom fields. For complex mappings, a developer can add or adapt endpoints.
View a real-time activity dashboard in GHL showing sync status, errors, and throughput. Enable alerts to be notified of failed syncs.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
