All calls to the Contacts API require a valid API key and Bearer token. Keep credentials secret and rotate keys regularly.
In TidyCal, create credentials or connect an OAuth flow to authorize requests to GHL. Use the minimum scope required (contacts.readonly).
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
When a new contact is created in TidyCal, push it to GHL using the Contacts API.
Create or update a contact in GHL; attach initial tasks or notes as needed; link to recent appointments.
POST /contacts/ or PUT /contacts/:contactId
Required: email, firstName; optional: phone, tags; map to GHL contact fields.
When a task is created or updated in GHL, reflect it as a task in TidyCal.
Create or update tasks in GHL from TidyCal; mark completion when finished in either system.
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId
Fields: contactId, taskId, title, dueDate, status
Notes and appointments updates in GHL trigger corresponding updates in TidyCal.
Sync notes to contact notes in TidyCal and sync appointments to the calendar; ensure references align with contacts.
POST /contacts/:contactId/notes, POST /contacts/:contactId/appointments
Fields: contactId, noteId, appointmentId, date, time
No-code automation lets you connect apps and automate flows without writing code.
Faster data synchronization across contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments.
Improved data accuracy and centralized customer data management.
This section defines the core elements and processes used to connect GHL and TidyCal, including endpoints, authentication, triggers, and data mapping.
A specific URL that performs a function in the API, such as retrieving a contact or creating a task.
An authorization framework enabling apps to obtain limited access via access tokens.
A security token sent in the Authorization header to validate API requests.
A method for receiving real-time updates from another service into your app.
When a lead signs up in TidyCal, auto-create a contact in GHL and assign initial tasks.
Keep dates and contact data in sync in real time between GHL and TidyCal.
Automatically tag contacts by activity and appointment history for targeted campaigns.
Register your app in GHL, obtain an API key, and confirm the required scopes (contacts.readonly).
Set up authentication, map fields, and specify endpoints to use in TidyCal actions.
Run test syncs, verify data, and enable alerts for failed runs.
No coding required. Use a visual connector or built-in integration to link GHL Contacts API with TidyCal. Map fields like email and name to ensure accurate records. If your workflow uses webhooks, you can add basic automation without code.
Endpoints commonly used include GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch contact data, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to pull tasks, and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes to retrieve notes. For creating or updating, use POST /contacts/ and PUT /contacts/:contactId. Review the available endpoints to map your data flows.
Use API key with Bearer token in the Authorization header and set the scope to contacts.readonly. OAuth can also be used if your app supports it. Keep credentials secure and rotate them regularly.
Test with a sandbox or development environment. Create sample contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments in a staging workspace. Validate data mappings and error handling before going live, and use test logs to verify outcomes.
Yes. Use field mapping to align GHL contact fields with TidyCal data. Many platforms support custom fields and tags; keep a consistent schema for easier maintenance.
Rate limits exist. Plan for batching or queuing to avoid throttling. If you hit limits, implement backoff strategies and retries.
Check the TidyCal and GHL dashboards for error logs. Look for HTTP status codes, missing fields, and permission errors. Enable alerts and review mapping to resolve issues quickly.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
