How to connect Trumpet to Contacts API

Integrate Trumpet with the Contacts API to access and synchronize contact data securely.

Steps to connect Trumpet with Contacts API

This guide covers authentication, endpoint selection, and no‑code automations to connect Trumpet to the GHL Contacts API.

Authentication for Trumpet to Contacts API

Use OAuth 2.0 or an API key to authorize Trumpet to access your Contacts data. Ensure the app requests the contacts.readonly scope and store tokens securely.

Auth for Trumpet App

Trumpet uses standard OAuth 2.0 flow or API tokens to authenticate. After granting permission, tokens refresh automatically to maintain a seamless connection.

OAuth 2.0

OAuth 2.0 is a standard authorization framework that lets apps access data on behalf of users with tokens that expire.

Endpoint

A specific URL and method pair (like GET /contacts/:contactId) that exposes a piece of functionality in an API.

Webhook

Frequently Asked Questions

What authentication methods are supported?

Trumpet supports OAuth 2.0 and API keys. For most use cases, OAuth 2.0 provides a secure, token-based flow that avoids embedding passwords in workflows. Use the Zapier App Connector to authorize Trumpet to access your Contacts API data and grant the minimum scope required, such as contacts.readonly. Keep tokens secure and rotate credentials periodically. Tip: Store credentials in a secret manager and review permissions regularly.

The integration exposes endpoints for reading contacts, their tasks, notes, and appointments, as well as creating and updating records as permitted by scope. You can view and test endpoints in the API docs and configure Zapier steps to map fields between Trumpet and the Contacts API. Note: Some endpoints may require elevated permissions; ensure your app scope aligns with the actions you intend to perform.

No heavy coding is required for basic data retrieval and automations; Zapier handles the orchestration using triggers and actions. For advanced logic, you can add simple transformations or filters within Zapier steps. If you need custom server-side logic, consider lightweight scripting or webhooks. Overall, most users can implement typical flows with no-code configuration.

Yes. You can update contact data via PUT or POST endpoints if your scope includes write access. For example, PUT /contacts/:contactId can update contact fields, and POST /contacts/ can create new records. Validate payloads and respect existing data schemas. Always test changes in a safe environment before production.

Rate limits vary by plan and endpoint. If you hit quotas, requests may be throttled or return 429 responses. To mitigate, space out calls, batch updates where possible, and implement retries with exponential backoff in your automations.

OAuth tokens expire and require refreshing. Zapier can refresh tokens automatically if supported by the app configuration. For API keys, rotate keys periodically and update the connected apps. Monitor token lifecycles to prevent interruptions.

API keys or OAuth credentials are generated in the GHL developer portal or your app settings. For OAuth, create an app to receive client ID and client secret; for API keys, generate and copy the key from your Trumpet app settings. Store credentials securely and grant only necessary permissions.
