Authenticate requests securely using an API key and OAuth-style tokens. The integration uses the Contacts API with the scope: contacts.readonly.
Authorize Tumblr in your GHL developer console, grant permissions for reading Contacts data, tasks, notes, and tags, and store the credentials securely.
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 API Endpoint9: contacts.write 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
Trigger: when a contact’s tasks are created or updated in GHL, mirror changes in Tumblr.
Actions: create or update Tumblr tasks to reflect the GHL state; map status, due dates, and descriptions.
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
contactId, taskId, status, dueDate
Trigger: new or updated notes in Tumblr sync to GHL contact notes.
Actions: create or update notes in GHL from Tumblr notes.
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
contactId, id
Trigger: new or updated tags in Tumblr trigger tag updates in GHL.
Actions: apply tags to the GHL contact; maintain mapping between Tumblr tags and GHL tags.
POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
contactId, tags
Automate data flow between Tumblr and GHL without writing code.
Centralize contact data for easier engagement and reporting.
Create scalable, repeatable workflows using built-in endpoints and triggers.
This glossary defines API endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, and data flow terms used in the Tumblr-to-GHL integration.
A specific URL in the GHL API used to perform a single operation.
The process of proving identity and obtaining access to the GHL API (e.g., API keys, OAuth tokens).
An event that starts an automated workflow in response to activity in Tumblr or GHL.
An operation performed as a result of a trigger, such as creating a note or updating a task.
Pull Tumblr conversations, notes, and tasks into a single GHL view for faster follow-ups.
Automatically create tasks and notes in GHL from Tumblr activity to automate outreach.
Tag and segment contacts based on Tumblr activity for targeted campaigns.
Register the Tumblr app in GHL and obtain API key and client secret.
Select endpoints like /contacts and /notes; set scopes to read-only and write access as needed.
Run test requests, verify data sync, monitor logs, and deploy automation.
Tumblr can access contact data, tasks, notes, and tags defined by the Contacts API permissions. This includes reading contact records, retrieving tasks and notes, and applying tags as needed. Access is governed by the OAuth/API key scopes you grant during setup. Always follow least-privilege principles to minimize exposure. If you need more data fields, you can request additional scopes or endpoints from your GHL admin panel and adjust your Tumblr app configuration accordingly.
You don’t need to code to set up a basic integration—it’s designed as a no-code workflow using endpoints and triggers. You configure authentication, pick the endpoints you want to sync, and map fields between Tumblr and GHL using the built-in connectors. For more complex logic, you can extend with custom webhooks if your plan supports it.
For a basic sync, start with GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch core contact data and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to pull tasks. These endpoints cover core object relationships and provide a solid foundation for syncing basic engagement data between Tumblr and GHL.
Field mapping involves aligning Tumblr fields with GHL contact fields (e.g., name, email, tags) and similarly for tasks and notes. Use the endpoint responses as a reference, then configure field mappings in your integration platform or connector to ensure data lands in the correct GHL fields.
Security is handled via OAuth and API keys with scoped permissions. Use secure storage for credentials, rotate keys regularly, and monitor access logs. Limit write operations to trusted endpoints and apply IP restrictions where possible.
Yes. Triggers can be customized based on Tumblr or GHL events (e.g., new notes, new tasks). You can create multi-step workflows to chain actions, such as creating a task after a note is added, or tagging a contact when certain criteria are met.
View logs and errors in your integration platform and in GHL’s API access dashboard. Enable verbose logging during setup, then reduce verbosity to essential events once the flow is stable. Use error notifications to stay informed of any issues.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
