Typically use OAuth 2.0 with the required scopes (such as contacts.readonly and contacts.write). Keep tokens secure, rotate secrets regularly, and implement token refresh as needed.
Create a Vimeo developer app to obtain an access token with appropriate scopes. Use this token to read user data and post updates to the GHL Contacts API. If supported, configure webhooks to receive events from Vimeo.
Included endpoints: 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, 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: Vimeo form submission or new viewer becomes a contact in Vimeo
Actions: map the form fields to a new or existing GHL contact via POST /contacts/, then optionally create an initial task with POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; apply a Vimeo tag as needed
POST /contacts/
name, email, VimeoUserID, VimeoVideoID
Trigger: Vimeo video watched, liked, or commented
Actions: add or update notes on the contact using PUT /contacts/:contactId and include Vimeo activity details in the notes field
PUT /contacts/:contactId
contactId, notes_content, VimeoVideoID
Trigger: viewer subscribes, saves a video, or completes an interaction
Actions: add a Vimeo-related tag via POST /contacts/:contactId/tags; e.g., ‘Vimeo_Viewer’
POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
contactId, tagName, VimeoEventID
Automate lead capture from Vimeo without writing code.
Keep contact data and activities in sync within one CRM, reducing manual data entry.
Trigger automations and reminders based on Vimeo events to improve follow-ups.
Key definitions for the API, endpoints, webhooks, OAuth, and contact records as used in this Vimeo–GHL integration.
Application Programming Interface: a set of rules that lets your apps (GHL and Vimeo) talk to each other via endpoints.
A real-time event delivery mechanism. Vimeo or GHL can notify the other system when something happens.
Authorization framework used to grant scoped access to GHL resources without exposing user credentials.
A person or organization in your GHL CRM with fields like name, email, and custom data.
When a viewer submits a Vimeo form, create a new contact in GHL and assign a starter task to begin the relationship.
Append Vimeo video activity to the contact’s notes so your team has context during outreach.
Automatically tag contacts when they engage with Vimeo content to kick off tailored campaigns.
Register your apps with GHL and Vimeo, obtain client IDs and OAuth tokens, and store them securely.
Set up Vimeo events to trigger actions and map fields to GHL contact fields.
Run end-to-end tests with sample data, then monitor sync and adjust mappings as needed.
No heavy coding is required—use the provided endpoints and webhooks to build workflows in a no-code or low-code environment. Start with creating or updating contacts when Vimeo events occur, then expand to tasks and notes as needed. This guide emphasizes practical, ready-to-use patterns you can implement quickly. If you do code, you can customize mappings and error handling to fit your data model and ensure reliable sync.
The core endpoints used include POST /contacts/ to create contacts, GET /contacts/:contactId to read data, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to assign work, PUT /contacts/:contactId to update fields, and POST /contacts/:contactId/tags to categorize contacts. Webhooks (if supported) can trigger these actions when Vimeo events occur. Review the endpoint list above to tailor the flow to your Vimeo events and data needs.
Data such as Vimeo user identifiers, video IDs, engagement events, and notes are mapped into GHL contact fields. You can also attach tasks and tags to indicate engagement level. Sensitive tokens should never be exposed in client code; store them securely in your server or integration platform. Always validate data formats and confirm user consent where required.
Use OAuth 2.0 tokens with proper scopes and keep client secrets secure. Rotate credentials regularly and use token refresh flows. Prefer server-to-server authentication where possible and avoid embedding tokens in client code. If you rely on webhooks, verify signatures and implement retry logic to handle transient failures.
Yes. You can update a contact’s notes or other fields via PUT /contacts/:contactId and include new Vimeo activity. For richer notes, store content in a notes field or related child record that your app can read. Test thoroughly to ensure notes reflect the Vimeo events accurately without overwriting important data.
Most setups take a short while for credentials, webhooks, and mappings to propagate—often a few minutes to an hour depending on app review. A simple, well-scoped integration can be live within a day. Complex data mappings and error handling may require additional testing time.
Common pitfalls include incorrect field mappings, missing authentication scopes, and not validating data formats. Always start with a small, test record, monitor API responses, and enable logging. Use idempotent operations where possible to prevent duplicate contacts or tasks.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
