Begin by obtaining an access token with the scopes you need, such as contacts.readonly. Use OAuth 2.0 or an API key according to your security policy, and store credentials securely in TRIGGERcmd.
Grant TRIGGERcmd permissions to read and write contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments via your GHL account. Use the principle of least privilege and rotate credentials regularly.

Trigger: When a predefined TRIGGERcmd command runs
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to create; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId to update; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed to mark completed
Paths: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed
Key fields: contactId, task title, due date, status
Trigger: A note is added or updated in TRIGGERcmd
Actions: GET /contacts/:contactId/notes to fetch notes; POST /contacts/:contactId/notes to add a new note
Paths: GET /contacts/:contactId/notes; POST /contacts/:contactId/notes
Key fields: contactId, notes content, noteId
Trigger: An event in TRIGGERcmd requires a calendar appointment
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/appointments to create; GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments to read
PATHS: POST /contacts/:contactId/appointments; GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments
Key fields: contactId, appointmentTime, subject, location
Build powerful automations without writing code thanks to visual triggers and prebuilt actions
Rapidly deploy CRM automations across teams with drag-and-drop configuration
Secure, token-based authentication keeps credentials safe and auditable
Understand endpoints, triggers, actions, authentication, and data fields used in this integration between TRIGGERcmd and the Contacts API
A specific URL path in the Contacts API that performs an action or returns data
The method used to verify identity and grant access to the API, typically tokens or OAuth
An event in TRIGGERcmd that starts an automation workflow
A to-do item linked to a contact with status and due date
Trigger a new task when a contact advances to a new stage, using POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Whenever a note is added or updated in TRIGGERcmd, store it under the contact in the Notes API
Create appointments in the Contacts API when key events occur to keep calendars aligned
Obtain access tokens or API keys with the required scopes and authorize TRIGGERcmd to access Contacts data
Set up endpoint calls and field mappings between TRIGGERcmd and the Contacts API
Run tests, verify data integrity, and deploy automation in production
You can create, read, update, and delete contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments from TRIGGERcmd using the Contacts API. This enables automated CRM workflows without manual data entry. By combining triggers with actions, you can keep records synchronized and remind team members of upcoming tasks.
TRIGGERcmd supports OAuth-based tokens and API keys depending on your setup. Use the method your organization approves, and rotate credentials regularly. Always align scopes to the minimum required for your automation.
Common CRM tasks include managing contact records, tasks, notes, and appointments via endpoints listed in the Endpoint Overview. You can create tasks, fetch notes, and schedule appointments to streamline CRM workflows.
Yes, you can schedule appointments by sending POST /contacts/:contactId/appointments from TRIGGERcmd triggers. You can also read and update appointments as needed to keep calendars in sync.
Store credentials securely in TRIGGERcmd and use token rotation. Follow best practices, limit token scope to required permissions, and monitor access logs.
No heavy coding is required if you use the built-in action templates and field mappings. You can configure triggers and actions with point-and-click setup.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan and API usage. Check your account’s quota in the Developer Console and implement retries with backoff to avoid saturation.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
