The Contacts API is the GHL endpoint set that lets you read and write contact records, notes, tasks, and tags. It enables programmatic access to pull contact details into external apps. Using the API, you can synchronize data with Workable to streamline recruiting workflows without manual data entry.
Authentication uses API credentials issued for GHL and Workable. Use OAuth tokens or API keys, and ensure the correct scopes are applied. Never expose secrets in client apps. For this page, the scope is limited to viewing and updating contact data as configured.
The endpoints cover contacts, tasks, notes, appointments, and tagging, plus a general list endpoint. The provided endpoint list shows what’s available and what you may use. Not every endpoint is required for every integration.
Yes. You can update candidate information in Workable when the corresponding contact changes in GHL, provided you map fields correctly and have the necessary permissions on both sides.
No-code automation is supported through triggers and actions. If you need more complex logic, you can extend with webhooks or custom scripts.
Field mapping is done by pairing GHL contact properties (e.g., email, name, company) with Workable candidate fields. Start with essential fields and validate with test records.
Test the integration by creating a test contact in GHL and verify the corresponding updates in Workable. Review logs, watch for errors, and adjust mappings as needed.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
