Authenticate requests to the GHL Contacts API using your API key and OAuth credentials. Ensure your app has the scopes required for read-only access to contacts and their related resources.
Whova authentication is achieved by securely storing and sending your API credentials to the GHL API. Use token-based authentication and rotate credentials regularly for best security.

Seamless data flow between Whova and the Contacts API without any custom code.
Automated updates to contacts, tasks, notes, and tags reduce manual data entry.
Scalable and maintainable integration that grows with your business.
This glossary explains API basics, endpoints, authentication, and data mapping used to connect Whova with the GHL Contacts API.
Application Programming Interface; a set of rules that allow applications to communicate and exchange data.
The process of proving identity and obtaining access to a system or resource.
A specific URL path in an API that performs a defined action or returns data.
A callback mechanism where one system notifies another when events occur.
Automatically enrich Whova contact records with missing data from the Contacts API to keep profiles complete.
Use synced attributes to segment audiences in Whova for targeted campaigns.
Trigger campaigns or follow-ups when contact events occur in either system.
Obtain API credentials and set up OAuth or API keys to authorize Whova to call the Contacts API.
Map Whova fields to Contacts API fields (e.g., name -> name, email -> email) and configure endpoint usage.
Run test synchronizations, verify data integrity, and enable live syncing with monitoring.
No extensive coding is required. Use the provided endpoints and mappings to connect Whova with the Contacts API in a no-code or low-code environment. For advanced customizations, you can add small scripts or use automation tools to tailor behavior.\nFurther, test accounts and sandbox environments help you validate before going live.
For a basic sync, endpoints 1 (GET /contacts/:contactId), 7 (GET /contacts/), 10 (POST /contacts/), and 12 (DELETE /contacts/:contactId) are commonly used to read, create, and remove contacts. You’ll also want 13 (POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks) and 16 (DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId) for task management.\nThese cover core data flow and task linking between Whova and the Contacts API.
Security is implemented via API keys/OAuth. Use TLS, rotate credentials regularly, and apply least-privilege scopes. Monitor access logs and set up alerts for unusual activity to protect data integrity.
Yes. You can customize which fields are synchronized and how they map between Whova and the Contacts API. Use field mappings to control which data is sent and stored in each system.
Implement retries with exponential backoff and use idempotent operations where possible (e.g., POST for create, PUT for updates). Log errors, and notify your team when failures occur so you can investigate.
Yes. You can connect Whova to the Contacts API via Zapier or other automation tools to orchestrate syncs without custom code. This helps accelerate setup and prototyping.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
