Access to the Contacts API requires a secure API token with the scope: contacts.readonly. Include the token in the Authorization header as Bearer
In Tweet Hunter, configure your GHL credentials or OAuth token, select the needed scopes, and authorize the integration. This enables requests to endpoints such as GET /contacts/:contactId and POST /contacts/ on your behalf.
Common endpoints include: GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed, DELETE /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/, GET /contacts/business/:businessId, PUT /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts/:contactId/notes, POST /contacts/:contactId/tags.
Trigger: a new lead is captured in Tweet Hunter
Actions: upsert contact data using POST /contacts/ and PUT /contacts/:contactId, map email, first_name, last_name, and company, and apply initial tags.
Method paths: POST /contacts/ for creating; PUT /contacts/:contactId for updates.
Key fields: email (required and unique), first_name, last_name, phone, company.
Trigger: a task is created or updated in Tweet Hunter
Actions: create or update tasks in GHL using endpoints for tasks; set status, due date, title, and completion as needed.
Method paths: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed
Fields: taskId, title, status, dueDate, completed
Trigger: a note is added or tags are updated in Tweet Hunter
Actions: post notes to /contacts/:contactId/notes; apply or sync tags via /contacts/:contactId/tags
Method paths: POST /contacts/:contactId/notes; PUT /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id
Fields: noteId, content, created_at, tags

Define mappings for email, name, and phone; run test calls to confirm data flows correctly between Tweet Hunter and GHL.
No coding is required to get started. Tweet Hunter and the GHL API provide built-in actions and triggers that handle the basics of data flow. You configure the connection in your app settings and map fields such as email, name, and phone to ensure core records sync correctly. If you have developer resources, you can extend mappings or add custom transforms, but it’s not necessary for the core workflow.
For core sync, you’ll typically interact with endpoints that read and write contacts, tasks, and notes. Examples include GET /contacts/:contactId to read a contact, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to fetch tasks, POST /contacts/ to create a contact, PUT /contacts/:contactId to update, and endpoints for notes and tags. You can also retrieve broader lists with GET /contacts/ and related endpoints like GET /contacts/business/:businessId to enrich data.
Authentication relies on secure tokens. Tokens should be rotated regularly and stored securely. If a token expires, your app should refresh it and retry the request. Implement proper error handling for 401/403 responses and avoid exposing tokens in client-side code.
If fields don’t line up perfectly, use mapping rules to align data. You can map key identifiers (like email) to ensure upserts work, and provide fallback fields (name, phone) when needed. Validation checks before sending requests help prevent failed syncs when required data is missing.
Yes. You can customize mappings for notes and tasks, including which fields to sync and how to format note content. Use field transformers and templates to control how data appears in GHL and Tweet Hunter.
There are rate limits and best practices to consider. Space out requests, use pagination where supported, and prefer batched operations when available. Monitor error responses and implement exponential backoff on retries to minimize throttling.
If a sync fails, check the API response codes and messages, verify endpoint paths and credentials, and review your field mappings. Use test calls in a staging environment to reproduce issues before applying fixes in production.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
