Access to the GHL Contacts API requires a secure OAuth 2.0 flow with scope such as contacts.readonly to view contact data.
TickTick will authorize with the GHL API using OAuth 2.0. Create an OAuth client in the TickTick developer portal and exchange tokens to access contact data.
– GET /contacts/:contactId – Retrieve a specific contact – GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks – List tasks for a contact – GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId – Retrieve a single task – GET /contacts/:contactId/notes – List notes for a contact – GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id – Retrieve a note – GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments – List appointments for a contact – GET /contacts/ – List all contacts – GET /contacts/business/:businessId – Retrieve business contact data – contacts.write – Write access to contacts (permission) – 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 a tag to a contact
Trigger when a contact is created or updated in GHL to keep TickTick contacts current.
Create or update the matching contact in TickTick and refresh core fields like name, email and phone.
GET /contacts/:contactId
contactId, name, email, phone
Trigger when a contact task is created or updated in GHL.
Create a corresponding TickTick task and keep status aligned with GHL task data.
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
taskId, title, dueDate, status
Trigger when a note or appointment is added or updated in GHL.
Create a corresponding TickTick note or appointment and keep fields in sync.
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
noteId, content, date
No code automation lets you connect apps visually with drag and drop actions.
Faster onboarding with ready made templates and endpoint mappings.
Scalable automation for teams with centralized logs and audit trails.
Key elements include endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, data mapping and error handling. This glossary explains terms used in the TickTick and GHL integration.
Application Programming Interface. A set of rules that lets software applications communicate with each other.
Authorization framework that grants access to resources without sharing passwords.
A specific URL in an API that performs an action or returns data.
Permissions assigned to an access token that define what resources or actions are allowed.
Create tasks in TickTick automatically based on contact attributes like upcoming follow ups or renewal dates.
Generate brief notes in TickTick from contact notes and activity history for quick reference.
Suggest appointment times in TickTick based on contact availability and past interactions.
Register your GHL and TickTick apps in their developer portals and obtain client credentials.
Choose scopes like contacts.readonly and map the endpoints to TickTick actions.
Run integration tests, review data mappings, and deploy to production with logging enabled.
No coding is required for basic use. You can set up no code automations that map data between GHL and TickTick using prebuilt templates. For advanced scenarios, you may add custom triggers and actions using your own workflow rules. This makes the setup accessible to non developers while still offering power users flexibility. If you do decide to customize beyond templates, you can leverage webhooks and API calls to tailor how data moves between GHL and TickTick, including field mappings and conditional logic.
The integration uses a range of endpoints from the GHL Contacts API. Key endpoints include fetching contacts, their tasks and notes, and managing appointments. You will often utilize GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes to drive TickTick data. Write operations use POST, PUT, and DELETE endpoints to ensure TickTick mirrors GHL data when needed. Refer to the endpoint list in the section above for a complete mapping and examples.
Real time syncing is possible with event driven or polling approaches. Webhooks can push updates from GHL to TickTick, while scheduled syncs keep data fresh when webhooks are not available. For critical data such as contact updates, enabling near real time syncing provides the best user experience.
Security is managed via OAuth 2.0 with scoped access tokens. Data in transit uses TLS, and access tokens can be scoped to minimize exposure. Regular token rotation and proper secret management are recommended practices. Audit logs help monitor who accessed which data and when.
Rate limits depend on your GHL API plan and the endpoint type. Typical limits apply per minute and per user. To avoid hitting limits, implement backoff strategies, batch requests when possible, and cache responses for read heavy operations. High volume workflows should monitor usage and consider tiered limits.
Logs are accessible in your API dashboard and the integration console. Look for request/response payloads, error messages, and success tallies. Use the logs to identify mapping mismatches, authentication failures or rate limit issues and adjust your workflow accordingly.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
