How to connect vcita to the Contacts API

GHL Contacts API x vcita: seamless integration for contact data, tasks, notes, and appointments

Connecting the Contacts API with vcita

This guide walks you through authentication, endpoint usage, best practices, and examples to help you manage contacts within vcita using the GHL Contacts API.

GHL Contacts API authentication

To securely access the Contacts API from vcita, you will typically register an application, obtain client credentials, and use OAuth 2.0 or API keys to request access tokens. Protect credentials and rotate them regularly.

vcita authentication

In vcita, create an API key or OAuth app, configure scopes for contacts, and store credentials securely. Use the token to authorize API calls to the GHL endpoint suite.

Available endpoints for the Contacts API

– 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 – API Endpoint9: 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

Top 3 connection patterns for vcita x Contacts API

1) Read-only Contact Profile Sync

Trigger: when a contact is created or updated in vcita, fetch the latest profile from GHL and update vcita accordingly

Frequently asked questions

What data can be synced between vcita and GHL?

You can sync core contact fields such as name email and phone. Depending on permissions you may also sync associated data like notes tasks and appointments. Use webhook triggers for real-time updates and endpoints for on-demand pulls. Regularly review field mappings to keep data clean. In addition you can set up scheduled exports to ensure you have a reliable data snapshot for reporting and offline processing. This helps maintain data parity even if one system experiences temporary downtime.

No heavy coding is required thanks to prebuilt templates and connectors. For advanced needs you can add minimal scripting or use the API directly. The goal is to keep a low code integration that delivers reliable data flow. You can start with drag and drop builders and incrementally add custom logic as your team grows.

All transfers should use HTTPS with tokens and OAuth. Enable restricted scopes to minimize exposure. Rotate credentials regularly and monitor audit logs. Use webhooks to confirm delivery and implement retry logic. For sensitive data consider additional encryption at rest and ensure access is limited to essential personnel.

Rate limits depend on the plan and API. Keep calls batched where possible and implement exponential backoff. If you hit limits, spread requests across intervals. Consider caching non-changing data and using delta queries to reduce the number of calls.

Yes, write-back is supported for certain endpoints depending on permissions. Ensure you have write access to contacts and related resources. Use POST PUT and DELETE as appropriate and implement conflict resolution. Test write-back on a small dataset first to confirm mappings and error handling.

When errors occur check status codes and error messages retry with backoff and log payloads. Use idempotent requests where possible. If errors persist contact support for guidance. Maintain a retry policy and alerting to ensure visibility into recurring issues.

The typical method is OAuth 2.0 with access tokens. Some setups allow API keys. Choose the method supported by vcita and GHL and follow best practices for credential storage and token refresh. Always store tokens securely and rotate them on a regular cadence.
