How to connect Valuecase to the Contacts API

Connecting Contacts API in Valuecase using the GHL connector

Connecting the Contacts API to Valuecase through GHL

This guide explains how Valuecase connects to the GHL Contacts API to synchronize contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments. It covers authentication, scope configuration, endpoint usage, and best practices for reliable data syncing.

Authentication for the Contacts API

Valuecase will authenticate with GHL using OAuth 2.0. Use a client ID and secret, request the scope contacts.readonly, and exchange tokens for API access. Store tokens securely in Valuecase and rotate them on a set schedule.

Valuecase authentication requirements

Valuecase must be configured to authorize access to the GHL Contacts API. Provide the client credentials, enable the contacts.readonly scope, and test token validity before enabling live syncing.

Key endpoints used in this integration

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; 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

Creative ideas for leveraging the Contacts API with Valuecase

Automate contact setup from new leads

When a new lead is created in Valuecase, fetch the contact from GHL with GET /contacts/:contactId and create or update the contact record in Valuecase with essential fields.

Sync tasks and notes during onboarding

As tasks and notes are created in GHL for a contact, mirror them in Valuecase to provide a complete onboarding trail.

Unified activity history

Aggregate contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments into a single activity timeline in Valuecase for richer context.

Three steps to connect GHL Contacts API with Valuecase

Create a GHL app and obtain credentials

Register your Valuecase integration in the GHL developer portal and obtain the client ID and client secret. Select the scope contacts.readonly for read access.

Configure the Valuecase integration

Enter the GHL client credentials in Valuecase, configure the API base URL for the Contacts API, and set the redirect URI if using OAuth flows.

Test and enable automation

Run test requests to endpoints such as GET /contacts/:contactId and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, verify data mappings, then enable automatic syncing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the GHL Contacts API and what can I do with it in Valuecase?

The GHL Contacts API exposes endpoints to read and manage your CRM data, including contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments. In Valuecase, you can pull data to enrich contact records and automate workflows. This guide focuses on how to leverage those endpoints for reliable data syncs without heavy coding.

Available endpoints include 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, and more. You can select the endpoints that fit your workflow and map fields accordingly. Not every endpoint is required for every page.

No deep coding is required. You can configure the integration in Valuecase using the GHL App Connector with OAuth. For more complex needs, light scripting or webhooks can be added, but the core flows cover most setups.

Authentication uses OAuth 2.0 with scopes such as contacts.readonly. Ensure tokens are stored securely, rotated regularly, and tested with sandbox credentials before going live.

Yes. You can sync contacts along with related tasks, notes, and appointments to provide a complete activity history in Valuecase. If conflicts arise, establish a source of truth and apply mapping rules to resolve them.

Data mismatches can occur due to field mapping or timing differences. Use clear field mappings, implement data type alignment, and enable robust logging to identify and retrigger failed syncs.

Zapier is an option for bridging GHL and Valuecase, but you can also connect directly via the GHL API from Valuecase. The Zapier App Connector offers a no-code approach, while direct API calls provide more control over data and timing.
