Access is secured via OAuth 2.0 tokens with the Contacts API. Your integration should request the appropriate scopes, including contacts.readonly, to view data.
Grant VideoAsk access to your GHL data by configuring a connected app in your workspace. Use approved redirect URIs and API credentials.

Trigger: When a VideoAsk submission is received, create or update the corresponding contact in Contacts API.
Actions: Create or update the contact in Contacts API, then optionally attach tasks or notes based on submission data.
Method path: POST /contacts/ to create, PUT /contacts/:contactId to update.
Key fields: email as unique identifier, plus name, phone, tags.
Trigger: VideoAsk needs existing contact data for a form submission.
Actions: Retrieve contact, tasks, notes, and appointments via GET endpoints.
Method path: GET /contacts/:contactId or GET /contacts/ for lists.
Key fields: contactId, email.
Trigger: VideoAsk triggers a task creation for a contact when follow-up is needed.
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to create; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId to update; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed to mark done.
Method path: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed
Key fields: contactId, taskId, status, dueDate.

Automations run in the background without custom coding or scripts.
Easily adjust data flows and mappings from a visual interface as your needs evolve.
A quick glossary of terms and core processes used to connect VideoAsk with the GHL Contacts API.
The GHL Contacts API that allows reading and updating contact data via standard REST endpoints.
VideoAsk is the video form tool used to capture responses that trigger actions in GHL.
A record in GHL representing a person or business with fields such as name, email, phone, and tags.
A to-do item linked to a contact for follow-up or engagement.
Automatically enrich or create contacts in GHL using data captured in VideoAsk responses.
Generate follow-up tasks in GHL when respondents indicate interest in VideoAsk forms.
Append video responses as notes to the contact timeline for context.
Set up a connected app and grant permissions for reading and writing contact data.
Map VideoAsk events to API endpoints and define data mappings for contacts, tasks, and notes.
Run tests, verify data flow, and then deploy to production with monitoring.
No coding is required thanks to the no code integration between VideoAsk and the Contacts API. The setup uses triggers and actions to move data between apps. If you need custom logic, you can still use webhooks or a middleware to extend behavior.
The core syncing endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, POST /contacts/ to create, PUT /contacts/:contactId to update, and POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to create tasks. Additional endpoints cover notes, appointments, and tags to support full contact context.
The base flow can be read only to fetch contact data unless you opt into write permissions. The provided scope in this context is contacts.readonly. If write access is required, adjust the connected app configuration to include write scopes and endpoints.
Yes, you can create tasks from VideoAsk responses by posting to /contacts/:contactId/tasks and optionally mark the task as completed when the follow up is done. This lets you automate follow ups directly from respondent data.
Use a test workspace or sandbox to simulate submissions and verify data mappings before going live. Check for mapping errors and review logs to ensure accuracy. Perform end to end tests that cover creation and updates of contacts and tasks.
Security relies on OAuth tokens and HTTPS for all requests. Data handling follows your organizations privacy policies and affects only the allowed scopes. Store credentials securely and rotate access tokens periodically.
The endpoint list and glossary are provided in the Endpoint List and Glossary sections of this page. You can also reference the develo per docs for a deeper dive. If you need quick access, use the feature rich sections labeled Endpoint List and Glossary.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
