Learn how to grant secure access to the GHL integration for UpLead and set the proper scopes so both systems can read and write contact data.
Grant UpLead the permissions required to synchronize contacts, notes, tasks, and timelines between platforms.
Endpoints include: GET /contacts/:contactId to retrieve a contact; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to list a contact’s tasks; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes to retrieve notes; POST /contacts/ to create a contact; PUT /contacts/:contactId to update; DELETE /contacts/:contactId to delete; GET /contacts/ to list contacts; GET /contacts/business/:businessId to fetch business contacts; plus endpoints for tasks, notes, appointments, and tagging.
Trigger: New contact created in UpLead
Actions: Create or update a GHL contact via POST /contacts/ and map fields; optionally attach enrichment notes and a starter task.
Method Path: POST /contacts/
Key fields: email, firstName, lastName, company, jobTitle
Trigger: Contact updated in GHL
Actions: Update UpLead contact via a dedicated endpoint and sync enrichment fields
Method Path: PUT /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, email, enrichment fields
Trigger: New lead added in UpLead
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to create a follow-up task; set due date and priority
Method Path: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: contactId, taskId, dueDate, status
Automate data enrichment without writing a line of code.
Speed up lead qualification with real-time syncing between UpLead and GHL.
Centralize contact data and activities in one place for faster selling
Core elements and processes you’ll use when linking UpLead with GHL via the Contacts API.
The process of proving identity and permissions to access the API, typically via API keys or OAuth tokens.
A specific URL and method for performing an action against the API.
A real-time notification URL provided by a service to receive events.
Limits on how many requests you can make to the API in a given period.
Automatically enrich new leads from UpLead and push enriched data into GHL contacts.
Keep UpLead and GHL contact records aligned with updates from either side.
Create tasks in GHL triggered by lead status changes in UpLead.
Obtain your GHL API key and ensure the scope includes contacts.readonly access.
Authorize the Zapier connection and select the Contacts API in the Zap to enable data flow.
Run a test lead and verify that contacts, tasks, notes sync between UpLead and GHL.
You can sync basic contact fields like name, email, phone, and company from UpLead into GHL to keep records current. You can also bring enrichment data such as job titles and social profiles to enhance workflows. Two-way sync is possible where endpoints allow updates from either side.
No heavy coding is required. This integration is designed as a no-code or low-code solution using Zapier or similar tools to connect the UpLead and GHL APIs. You can map fields, set triggers, and automate actions without writing server-side code.
Authentication errors usually stem from invalid or expired tokens, incorrect scopes, or misconfigured endpoints. Regenerate tokens, verify scopes, and re-connect the apps. Check that the correct endpoint and method are used for each action.
For a basic workflow you’ll typically need endpoints to create and update contacts (POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId), retrieve a contact (GET /contacts/:contactId), and optionally list, delete, or add tasks/notes (GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks).
Security best practices include using OAuth or API keys, least-privilege scopes, and encrypted connections (HTTPS). Regularly rotate credentials and monitor access logs for unusual activity.
Zapier provides a way to connect UpLead and GHL without code. You can configure triggers and actions to automate data flow between platforms. Ensure you select the correct accounts, API keys, and mappings.
API rate limits vary by plan and endpoint. Always design your flows with idempotent requests, implement retries with exponential backoff, and respect limits to prevent throttling.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
