To access the Contacts API from Vida, obtain API credentials in your GHL developer console and grant the required scope: contacts.readonly.
Vida securely stores your API credentials and uses token-based authentication. Ensure the scope matches contacts.readonly to read contact data.
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; 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
Trigger when a contact is created or updated in GHL to keep Vida in sync.
Update Vida contact fields, attach notes, and create related tasks as needed.
GET /contacts/:contactId
id, email, firstName, lastName, phone
Trigger when tasks or notes are created/updated; sync to Vida’s records.
Create/update Vida tasks and notes based on GHL data; keep status in sync.
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
taskId, title, due, status, priority
Trigger when notes are updated to reflect the latest context on Vida.
Create or update Vida notes linked to the contact; attach to the timeline.
POST /contacts/:contactId/notes
noteId, content, author, createdAt
Speed up onboarding with no-code connectors and ready-made templates.
Improve data accuracy with automatic synchronization across systems.
Build custom automation workflows without writing code.
This section explains core elements (endpoints, triggers, actions, and data fields) and how they work together to enable reliable integrations between Vida and the GHL Contacts API.
A defined set of rules that allows software programs to communicate with each other.
An authorization framework that enables secure access to APIs via access tokens.
A specific URL path in an API that performs an action or returns data.
A URL endpoint that receives real-time notifications when an event occurs.
Configure triggers to automatically qualify new leads and route them to appropriate Vida workflow steps.
Automatically generate follow-up tasks in Vida when customers interact in GHL.
Attach GHL notes to Vida contacts to enrich context for sales and support teams.
Create client credentials in GHL, select the needed scope (read-only), and securely save them in Vida.
Choose the endpoints you need (for example, GET /contacts/:contactId) and map data fields to Vida.
Test in a staging environment, review logs for accuracy, fix errors, then deploy to production.
No code is required to connect Vida with the Contacts API. The integration uses your GHL credentials and Vida’s no-code setup to build triggers and actions. You can leverage templates to jump-start common flows. Two-way data movement can be configured with maps and rules.
For basic reads, you will need endpoints like GET /contacts/:contactId. If you plan to create or update data, include endpoints such as POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId, and related write endpoints. Keep an eye on data fields to ensure proper mapping.
You need API credentials from GHL (client id/secret or API key) with at least read access. Store them securely in Vida’s credential store and apply the correct scope (contacts.readonly). Rotate credentials regularly for security.
Test using a sandbox or staging environment. Send sample requests to the endpoints, inspect responses, and verify expected data. Check the integration logs and debug any errors until the flow behaves as designed.
Bidirectional syncing is possible but requires careful mapping and conflict resolution rules. Plan which system is the source of truth and implement time-stamped syncing to avoid loops.
Yes, API calls are subject to rate limits. If you hit limits, implement exponential backoff, retries, and caching where appropriate to reduce calls.
Vida provides a logs section where you can filter by endpoint, status, and time range. Use the logs to diagnose failures and monitor performance over time.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
