Use OAuth 2.0 with an access token to securely access GHL data. The primary scope shown here is contacts.readonly for reading contacts; write scopes are needed for updates. In your VBOUT setup, authorize the GHL connection to obtain a valid token.
VBOUT authenticates to GHL via OAuth 2.0. During setup, you’ll be prompted to authorize VBOUT to access your GHL data. Once granted, VBOUT uses the access token for API requests.
Key endpoints you’ll reference include: GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/, POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId, DELETE /contacts/:contactId, plus endpoints for tasks, notes, and appointments to enrich contact records.
Trigger: new contact created in GHL
Actions: create or update the corresponding contact in VBOUT; map fields such as name, email, phone, and tags.
Method: POST; Path: /contacts/ (GHL Endpoint10) and create in VBOUT as needed
Key fields: contactId, email, name, phone; ensure field mappings to VBOUT
Trigger: contact updated in GHL
Actions: update the VBOUT contact via PUT /contacts/:contactId; reflect name, email, status, and custom fields
Method: PUT; Path: /contacts/:contactId (GHL Endpoint11)
Key fields: contactId, updatedFields; timestamp for audit
Trigger: contact deleted in GHL
Actions: delete the corresponding VBOUT contact via DELETE /contacts/:contactId
Method: DELETE; Path: /contacts/:contactId (GHL Endpoint12)
Key fields: contactId
Build powerful automations without writing code. Use visual builders to connect endpoints and map fields.
Real‑time or near‑real‑time data sync between GHL and VBOUT keeps profiles up to date.
Reusable templates and presets make deploying multiple connections fast and scalable.
This glossary defines API, endpoint, trigger, action, mapping, and webhook to help you navigate the VBOUT–GHL integration for the Contacts API.
An Application Programming Interface that enables two systems to exchange data and commands.
A specific URL in an API that performs a function or returns data.
An event in one system that starts an automation in the other.
Field correspondences between GHL and VBOUT used during syncs.
Automatically push new VBOUT subscribers to GHL as contacts and trigger welcome campaigns.
Sync contact activity (tasks, notes, appointments) from GHL to VBOUT to enrich profiles.
Sync scores and tags from GHL into VBOUT to trigger scoring-based automations.
Obtain your GHL API credentials and set the scope to contacts.readonly (and any needed write scopes).
In VBOUT, choose GHL as your source and authorize the connection; map fields between systems.
Run a test sync, verify data integrity, then set up ongoing monitoring.
The GHL Contacts API lets you read and manage contact data from GHL within VBOUT. You can pull contact records, update details, and trigger automations from VBOUT based on GHL events. Use the scope provided: contacts.readonly for reading data; broader scopes enable writes.
Common endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId for lookup, POST /contacts/ to create, PUT /contacts/:contactId to update, DELETE /contacts/:contactId to remove, and endpoints for tasks, notes, and appointments to keep a complete profile synchronized.
No code is required for many VBOUT–GHL integrations. The platform provides visual builders and preset workflows to connect endpoints and map fields. If needed, you can add simple script blocks, but most tasks can be accomplished via configuration.
Authentication is handled via OAuth 2.0 flow between VBOUT and GHL. You authorize VBOUT to access your GHL data, and VBOUT receives an access token to use with API requests. Ensure you request the correct scopes, such as contacts.readonly for reading data.
Yes. You can sync notes, tasks, and appointments in addition to contacts. Create triggers in VBOUT that pull in related GHL data and push updates back where needed.
Map core fields (name, email, phone) and custom fields to matching VBOUT fields. Use consistent data formats and handle field types (date, number, text) to avoid data mismatches.
You can monitor sync activity from VBOUT dashboards and logs. If issues arise, review API responses, check token validity, verify field mappings, and re-run failed syncs.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
