Authenticate with OAuth 2.0 to access the Contacts API and request a token with the scope contacts.readonly.
Todoist uses OAuth 2.0 or API tokens. Store credentials securely and grant permissions to access projects and tasks.
Key endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId to read a contact, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to fetch tasks for a contact, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId to retrieve a specific task, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes to read notes, GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments to retrieve appointments, GET /contacts/ to list all contacts, POST /contacts/ to create a contact, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to create a task, PUT /contacts/:contactId to update a contact, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId to update a task, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed to mark a task complete, DELETE /contacts/:contactId to delete a contact, DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId to delete a task, and POST /contacts/:contactId/tags to add tags
Trigger: A new contact is created in GHL and a corresponding Todoist task is created automatically.
Actions: Create a Todoist task, assign it to a project, set due date, and attach contact details.
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: contactId, taskId, taskName, dueDate
Trigger: When notes are added or updated on a GHL contact, a corresponding note is created or updated on the related Todoist task.
Actions: Create or update a Todoist task comment with the note content.
POST /contacts/:contactId/notes
Key fields: contactId, noteId, content
Trigger: Updates to a GHL contact trigger updates to the linked Todoist task.
Actions: Update Todoist task title, due date, or status to match the contact.
PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId
Key fields: contactId, taskId, updatedFields
Automate workflows without writing code.
Keep CRM and Todoist data in sync automatically.
Improve productivity by turning contacts into ready to act tasks.
This section defines endpoints, triggers, actions, and workflows used to connect the GHL Contacts API with Todoist.
A specific URL and HTTP method that performs an action in the GHL API.
An authorization framework that enables secure access to user data.
An event in one app that starts an automated workflow.
The operation performed in the second app as part of a workflow.
Turn every new contact into a working Todoist task with assigned due dates and related notes.
Automatically mirror notes added to a GHL contact as comments on the corresponding Todoist task.
Keep task titles and due dates aligned with the source contact data in real time.
Register both apps in your developer console and obtain client IDs and secrets.
Set scope to contacts.readonly for the GHL side and configure Todoist webhooks for task and note updates.
Create test scenarios in a sandbox, verify data mapping, and then deploy.
Yes. This no code friendly guide shows you how to connect Todoist with the GHL Contacts API using secure authentication and triggers. You can set up automated flows without writing code. It is designed for non developers and explains how triggers map to actions in Todoist. The second paragraph reiterates the end to end setup with examples.
You typically need endpoints to read contacts, read and create tasks, and manage notes. For example GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, and POST /contacts/:contactId/notes. Ensure the scope includes read and write as needed.
OAuth 2.0 tokens are used by both apps for secure access. You will authorize both sides and exchange tokens. Some setups support API tokens. Always keep tokens secure and rotate them regularly.
Yes, if a contact’s data updates, you can propagate changes to linked Todoist tasks by updating the task title, due date, or status. This keeps data consistent across systems and reduces manual edits.
If you revoke access, the integration will stop syncing and you may lose read or write capabilities until you reauthorize. Reconnect the apps to resume operations.
Check the API rate limits in the developer docs. Plan your workflows to avoid bursts that exceed quotas. Consider caching or batching requests where possible.
API documentation is available in the developer portal for both the Contacts API and Todoist API. Look for endpoints, scopes, payload samples, and authentication guidance.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
