Authenticate requests to the Contacts API from VolunteerHub using API keys or OAuth, depending on your setup.
VolunteerHub uses secure OAuth 2.0 to access your Contacts data and manage resources within safety scopes.
Available endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, GET /contacts/, 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, GET /contacts/business/:businessId, POST /contacts/:contactId/tags.
Trigger: when a contact is created or updated in Contacts API
Actions: create or update the corresponding contact in VolunteerHub and attach related tasks
GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, email, firstName
Trigger: a note is added or updated on a contact in Contacts API
Actions: mirror notes to VolunteerHub and link to the contact
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
Key fields: noteId, contactId
Trigger: a task is created or updated in Contacts API
Actions: create or update the corresponding task in VolunteerHub
PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId
Key fields: contactId, taskId, title

Enable and map required endpoints for data synchronization.
Run tests, verify data accuracy, and deploy to production.
We support API key or OAuth 2.0 authentication depending on your setup. For secure access, store credentials securely and rotate keys regularly. Scopes define what data you can access; ensure access tokens grant the minimum permissions required (read-only for viewing, read/write for updates).
Essential endpoints for syncing typically include GET /contacts/:contactId to pull contact data, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes to fetch related items, and POST/PUT endpoints to update data. When deploying, map only the required fields and test with sandbox data to avoid unintended changes.
Yes, you can customize data fields by mapping fields in VolunteerHub to corresponding fields in Contacts API; some fields may require field mapping or transformation. Use field aliases or data rules to ensure compatibility.
Data sync speed depends on rate limits and network conditions; it often approaches real-time or minutes between updates. For testing, monitor logs and set up retries to handle transient issues.
API rate limits can apply; check your plan and endpoints you use. Throttling may occur if limits are exceeded; implement backoff and retry strategies. If you anticipate higher throughput, contact support to explore higher limits or batching options.
Yes, error logs are available in the integration console with status codes and messages to help diagnose issues. Common problems include authentication failures, missing required fields, or insufficient permissions.
To revoke access, remove the app authorization in your GHL integration settings and revoke tokens. After revocation, data will stop syncing and previously synced data remains in place unless you choose to delete it.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
