Authenticate with the GHL Contacts API using your API credentials or OAuth tokens. Ensure the requested scope includes contacts.readonly or broader as needed, and store credentials securely to protect access to contact data.
Configure OAuth or API key credentials in Veeqo to authorize calls to the GHL Contacts API. Make sure the app has the necessary permissions to read and write contacts, tasks, notes, and related resources.
Endpoints covered 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, GET /contacts/, GET /contacts/business/:businessId, and write endpoints such as 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.

Primary path: GET /contacts/:contactId with supporting POST /contacts/ to create new records
Key fields: contactId, email, name
Trigger: task updates or notes added for a contact
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; POST /contacts/:contactId/notes; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId to update, and PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed to mark done
Key endpoints: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, POST /contacts/:contactId/notes
Key fields: contactId, taskId, noteId
Trigger: fetch contacts by businessId to show client lists
Actions: GET /contacts/business/:businessId; fetch related appointments and notes as needed
GET /contacts/business/:businessId
Key fields: businessId, contactId
Centralized contact data: syncs emails, notes, and tasks across Veeqo and the GHL Contacts API for a unified customer view.
Automations: trigger tasks and notes automatically without writing code, keeping records up-to-date in real time.
Faster onboarding and improved support with a single, accurate data source accessible from both platforms.
This section defines the core data elements, API methods, and processes used to connect Veeqo with the GHL Contacts API, including endpoints, triggers, actions, and common fields.
Unique identifier for a contact in the GHL Contacts API.
Identifier for a business used to group or fetch related contacts.
Unique identifier for a task associated with a contact.
Unique identifier for a note associated with a contact.
Automatically create an onboarding task for new contacts and attach welcome notes when a contact is added in Veeqo.
Aggregate past orders, interactions, and notes into a single customer history view surfaced in Veeqo via the Contacts API.
Create or update support tickets using API endpoints and attach contextual notes to streamline support workflows.
Obtain your GHL API key or OAuth tokens and set the required scopes in Veeqo.
In Veeqo, map Contacts API endpoints to actions: read, write, and search by businessId.
Run tests, monitor logs, and deploy the automation to production.
The GHL Contacts API supports API key-based authentication or OAuth 2.0 depending on your setup. Use OAuth for long-lived tokens and better security, or API keys for quick integrations. Always scope your access to the minimum required permissions (e.g., contacts.readonly for reading data). Ensure tokens are stored securely and rotated regularly. In a no-code workflow system, connect via an app credential and limit access with least privilege rules. For added security, enable logging and monitor token usage. If you suspect compromise, rotate credentials immediately and reauthorize the connection. This helps protect sensitive contact data while enabling seamless automation.
Essential endpoints for syncing include GET /contacts/:contactId to read a contact, GET /contacts/ to list, and POST /contacts/ to create new records. For tasks and notes, use POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks and POST /contacts/:contactId/notes to populate data, and PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId to update tasks or mark them completed with PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed. The business lookup via GET /contacts/business/:businessId helps group contacts by company or account. Test these endpoints in a staging environment to verify that data flows correctly between Veeqo and the Contacts API, and adjust mappings as needed to avoid data duplication.
You do not strictly need no-code tools, but they make it easier to prototype and trigger actions without writing code. Tools like Zapier can act as a bridge between Veeqo and the GHL Contacts API, handling authentication, retries, and data mapping. If you prefer a fully-coded solution, you can implement direct API calls and webhooks to achieve the same outcomes with more control.
Yes. You can fetch tasks and notes with GET endpoints and update them with PUT or POST as appropriate. For example, you can read a contact’s tasks, create new tasks, update existing task details, or attach notes to a contact. The API also supports deleting tasks when needed to maintain data hygiene.
Start in a staging environment and create sample contacts, tasks, and notes to verify the data flow. Use logs and API responses to confirm correct mappings. Run end-to-end tests by triggering a contact update in Veeqo and ensuring the corresponding records appear in the GHL Contacts API. After validation, gradually roll out to production with monitoring on error rates.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
