To begin, obtain your GHL API credentials from the developer console and grant Vidalytics the required scopes (contacts.readonly and contacts.write). Use OAuth 2.0 tokens or API keys as supported by your GHL instance.
In Vidalytics, set up a new GHL connection, paste your client ID and secret, and authorize access to Contacts data. This enables bidirectional syncing of contact information.
GET /contacts/:contactId — Retrieve a specific contact\nGET /contacts/:contactId/tasks — List a contact’s tasks\nGET /contacts/:contactId/notes — List a contact’s notes\nGET /contacts/ — List contacts\nPOST /contacts/ — Create a new contact\nPUT /contacts/:contactId — Update a contact\nDELETE /contacts/:contactId — Delete a contact
Trigger: A new or updated contact in Vidalytics immediately syncs to GHL as a contact record.
POST /contacts/ or PUT /contacts/:contactId to upsert
Key fields: email (required), firstName, lastName, phone, Vidalytics_id (custom field)
Trigger: Vidalytics task or note updates push to GHL tasks/notes.
Actions: Create or update GHL tasks and notes; link to the correct contact; refresh status.
PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId and PUT /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id
Fields: taskId, contactId, title, status, dueDate, noteText
Trigger: Nightly batch sync runs to reconcile large contact lists.
Actions: Process bulk records, upsert in GHL, handle conflicts, log results for auditing.
POST /contacts/batch
Fields: batch_id, contacts[].email, contacts[].firstName, contacts[].lastName
No-code setup lets non-developers connect Vidalytics to GHL without writing code.
Visual workflow builders and Zapier App Connector speed implementation and testing.
Bidirectional data flow reduces manual data entry and accelerates automations.
This section covers endpoints, authentication, field mapping, triggers, actions, and error handling. The processes guide you from setup to testing and deployment.
A defined URL path in an API you call to perform a specific action (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE).
An authorization framework that issues access tokens allowing apps to access API data on behalf of a user.
A callback URL that the API uses to notify your app when events occur.
A cap on how many API calls you can make in a given time window.
Automatically enrich GHL contacts with Vidalytics form submissions and events to keep data fresh.
Trigger follow-up tasks and email sequences in GHL when Vidalytics captures key events.
Sync Vidalytics audience segments to GHL lists for targeted campaigns.
In GHL, register your Vidalytics app to receive a client ID and secret, then configure scopes for read/write access.
Use Vidalytics to authorize the GHL connection and run test calls against sample contacts.
Map Vidalytics fields to GHL contact fields and set up a Zapier or native workflow to automate syncing.
No code is required to connect Vidalytics with the GHL Contacts API. The integration uses visual builders and the Zapier App Connector to set up triggers and actions quickly. If you do need more customization, you can add additional mappings via the API.
Key endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, GET /contacts/, POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId, and DELETE /contacts/:contactId. Choose endpoints based on whether you need read access, writes, or related data like tasks and notes.
Yes. The integration supports both reading and writing contact data. You can upsert contacts, update fields, and attach related resources such as tasks and notes. This enables synchronized records between Vidalytics and GHL.
GHL provides access tokens (or OAuth tokens) that authorize Vidalytics to call endpoints. You’ll grant scopes (e.g., contacts.readonly, contacts.write) and securely store tokens in your Vidalytics config. Token refresh handling is supported.
API rate limits vary by GHL plan. Plan for occasional retries and implement backoff logic in your automation. The system should gracefully handle 429 responses and retry after the indicated interval.
Use the test feature in Vidalytics to simulate calls against sample contacts and verify mappings. Check logs for request/response data and confirm that data appears correctly in GHL.
We provide mapping tips in the setup guide, including recommended field mappings (email, name, phone) and how to handle custom fields. Review the glossary for terms used in mappings.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
