To use the Contacts API from Typefully, configure secure authentication (OAuth or API key) and request the scope required (contacts.readonly) to access contact data and related resources.
In Typefully, enable the GHL integration and authorize access, then safely store tokens and rotate credentials as recommended by security best practices.
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 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: A task on a contact is marked completed (taskId) via PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed.
Actions: Generate a Typefully post using contact name, task details, and completion date; optionally attach related notes.
PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed
Key fields: contactId, taskId, status, completedDate
Trigger: POST /contacts/ (new contact)
Actions: Publish a welcome post in Typefully with name, company, and notes; tag for segmentation.
POST /contacts/
Key fields: contactId, name, email, company
Trigger: PUT /contacts/:contactId is called
Actions: Update Typefully post summary or notes reflecting changes to the contact; refresh fields in templates.
PUT /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, updatedFields, timestamp
Automate Typefully post creation and sharing without writing code.
Consolidate contact data to personalize content at scale.
Prototype and iterate campaigns quickly with live data.
A concise glossary of terms used in this integration guide, including Contacts, Tasks, Notes, and Tags.
An individual record in the Contacts API containing basic details and metadata.
A unit of work assigned to a contact (e.g., follow-up or activity).
Additional information stored with a contact to provide context.
A label used to categorize contacts for segmentation and filtering.
Auto-generate a post that introduces the new contact, including name and role, for a welcome thread.
Publish a series of updates about a contact’s task progress to Typefully.
Summarize key changes to a contact and share a monthly or quarterly roundup in Typefully.
Authorize the Typefully app to access GHL Contacts API using OAuth or API tokens.
Define events (e.g., new contact, task completed) that trigger Typefully posts.
Map contact fields to your Typefully post formats and validate with test runs.
Mostly no. This integration is designed for no-code usage. Use pre-built triggers and actions in Typefully to connect to the Contacts API. If you need custom logic, you can extend with simple automation tools or a lightweight middleware.
Authenticate using OAuth or API keys as provided by the GHL developer portal. In Typefully, select the GHL integration, follow prompts to authorize, grant the requested scopes (e.g., contacts.readonly), and save the tokens securely.
Focus on read-only endpoints for reporting and updates, or use POST/PUT endpoints when you need to create or modify contacts, tasks, and notes. The endpoints list above helps determine the best options for your workflow.
Yes. You can trigger multiple posts or updates per day for different contacts by cloning or branching workflows within your automation tool.
Yes. GHL enforces rate limits. Build in retries and backoffs in your workflow and monitor API usage in the GHL dashboard.
Yes. Use field mapping to align contactName, email, tags, and other fields with your Typefully post templates. Test and adjust as needed.
Error logs can be accessed in your automation tool or within GHL’s developer console. Review error messages, status codes, and retry recommendations.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
