Use the standard authentication approach supported by the Contacts API (scope: contacts.readonly). This typically involves OAuth2 or an API key, depending on your setup.
Configure Timeero to securely store and reuse the credentials for the GHL Contacts API, enabling smooth data syncing for contacts, notes, and tasks.
1) GET /contacts/:contactId — retrieve a specific contact. 2) GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks — fetch tasks for a contact. 3) GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — fetch a specific task. 4) GET /contacts/:contactId/notes — fetch notes for a contact. 5) GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id — fetch a specific note. 6) GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments — fetch related appointments. 7) GET /contacts/ — list all contacts. 8) GET /contacts/business/:businessId — list contacts for a business. 9) POST /contacts/ — create a contact. 10) PUT /contacts/:contactId — update a contact. 11) DELETE /contacts/:contactId — delete a contact. 12) POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks — create a task for a contact. 13) PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — update a task. 14) PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed — mark task complete. 15) DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — delete a task. 16) POST /contacts/:contactId/tags — apply tags to a contact.
Trigger on new or updated contacts in Timeero and pull in related tasks and notes from the Contacts API.
Actions: GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes.
GET /contacts/:contactId; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
contactId, businessId, noteId, taskId
Trigger when a new contact is created or existing contact is updated.
Actions: POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, POST /contacts/:contactId/notes.
POST /contacts/; PUT /contacts/:contactId; POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; POST /contacts/:contactId/notes
contactId, taskId, noteId, businessId
Trigger when a contact is removed in Timeero or GHL.
Actions: DELETE /contacts/:contactId; DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; DELETE /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id.
DELETE /contacts/:contactId; DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; DELETE /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id
contactId, noteId, taskId
Build end-to-end automations without writing a line of code using Zapier-like triggers and actions.
Real-time data sync between Timeero and the Contacts API keeps records up-to-date.
Reusable workflow templates speed up onboarding and scale your processes.
Key elements and processes you’ll encounter when integrating GHL APIs with Timeero.
A specific URL pattern that performs an action on a resource, e.g., GET /contacts/:contactId.
The method used to verify identity and authorize API access, commonly OAuth2 or API keys.
An event in Timeero or GHL that starts an automation or workflow.
An operation executed by an automation, such as creating or updating a contact.
Capture time entries in Timeero and automatically attach notes to the corresponding contact in GHL.
When a task is completed in GHL, push a status update to Timeero to reflect completion.
Leverage GET /contacts/ to pull latest contacts and push bulk updates via PUT /contacts/:contactId.
Register Timeero in GHL and obtain client credentials (client_id and client_secret).
Select and enable endpoints you will use (e.g., GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks).
Run tests, review logs, and deploy the integration to production.
The Contacts API exposes a broad set of endpoints to manage contacts, their tasks, notes, and appointments, including: GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, and more. You can also list all contacts with GET /contacts/ and manage them with POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE where supported. Review the endpoint list for details. To get started, enable the endpoints you plan to use and test with a sample contact. For best results, map your Timeero data fields to the corresponding GHL fields and build automations that reflect your workflow, such as creating a contact when a new Timeero client is added and linking related tasks and notes.
No heavy code is required. You can connect Timeero to the GHL Contacts API using an integration platform (like Zapier) or a custom connector. The provided endpoints allow you to perform standard CRUD operations and trigger automations. If you need more complex logic, you can layer conditions and branches in your automation workflow. For developers, the API is RESTful and uses standard HTTP verbs, making it easy to prototype quickly and extend with additional endpoints as needed.
Yes. You can read and fetch notes and tasks for a contact using endpoints such as GET /contacts/:contactId/notes and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks. You can also query for related data like appointments using GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments. Build automations that fetch these details to populate Timeero records or to drive notifications.
Authentication typically uses OAuth2 or API keys, depending on how your GHL tenant is configured. Your Timeero app will store and refresh tokens as needed and pass the access token in request headers. If you’re using OAuth2, you’ll exchange a code for a token and refresh as tokens expire.
You’ll need permissions aligned with the endpoints you intend to call, for example contacts.readonly to view contacts. If you plan to write data (like creating or updating contacts), request additional scopes such as contacts.write. Consider least privilege and secure storage of credentials.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan and endpoint usage. Plan for bursts and implement retries with exponential backoff. If you approach the quota, consider caching common data and using webhooks to minimize poll-based requests.
Common issues include invalid tokens, mismatched scopes, and endpoint path mistakes. Verify your base URL, ensure the correct API version, refresh tokens when needed, and check your app’s permissions. Logging requests and responses helps diagnose where the failure occurs.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
