Use your API keys or OAuth credentials to securely access Contacts API data from WebinarFuel. This section outlines the steps to obtain and refresh tokens and how to scope access.
WebinarFuel authorizes access to the Contacts API by exchanging credentials for access tokens. Follow these steps to set up a secure connection.
This guide focuses on core endpoints you can use with the Contacts API, including read operations for contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments. Examples below emphasize common webinar-related use cases.
Trigger: when a registrant is captured in WebinarFuel, fetch their contact info from Contacts API.
Actions: GET /contacts/:contactId to retrieve core fields and map them into WebinarFuel contact fields.
GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, name, email, phone, lastActivity
Trigger: update WebinarFuel tasks when a contact’s tasks change.
Actions: fetch /contacts/:contactId/tasks and /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId to sync task data.
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: contactId, taskId, status, dueDate
Trigger: attach notes to webinar attendee records
Actions: read /contacts/:contactId/notes and /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
Key fields: contactId, noteId, noteText, dateCreated
Seamless attendee data sync without custom coding
Faster onboarding and follow-ups with updated contact data
Centralized analytics across WebinarFuel and Contacts API
Essential terms and processes to understand API-based automation between GHL Contacts API and WebinarFuel.
A specific URL you call to access a resource in the Contacts API, such as a contact or task.
The method by which WebinarFuel proves it has permission to access a GHL account (e.g., API keys, OAuth).
A listener that notifies WebinarFuel of changes in Contacts API data, enabling near real-time sync.
The maximum number of API calls allowed in a given timeframe to avoid throttling.
When a webinar registrant signs up in WebinarFuel, automatically create or update their contact in Contacts API to keep data synchronized.
Map webinar tasks to contact tasks so follow-ups reflect attendee engagement in real time.
Attach a summary note to the contact when a webinar concludes, capturing attendance and key actions.
Register the WebinarFuel app in GHL to obtain API credentials and authorize access to Contacts API.
Set scopes to read/write as needed (e.g., contacts.readonly) and grant WebinarFuel the required permissions.
Test the integration with sample data, verify endpoints, and deploy to production.
The Contacts API lets you programmatically manage contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments. You can pull and push live data between WebinarFuel and your CRM. This enables synchronized attendee information, smarter follow-ups, and better webinar performance metrics. The API also supports flexible read-only access to explore data flows before enabling write permissions.
No heavy coding required thanks to no-code connectors and clear API docs. You can use middleware like Zapier or direct API calls to set up triggers, actions, and data mappings. Start with sandbox tests to validate flows before going live.
Essential endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, and GET /contacts/. The exact set depends on your use case (e.g., attendee syncing may emphasize contacts and tasks).
Authentication typically uses OAuth 2.0 or API keys. Use secure storage, rotate credentials regularly, and restrict access by scope to minimize risk.
Yes, a sandbox or test account lets you validate flows without affecting real data. Use test data and mock responses to verify endpoints and mappings.
If you hit rate limits, throttle requests, implement retries with exponential backoff, and consider batching calls where possible to reduce load.
API docs live in the GHL developer portal and the WebinarFuel app docs. Look for the Contacts API reference, authentication guide, and usage examples.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
