Authenticate requests using your GHL API credentials. Make sure your Xola integration is granted the necessary scopes to read data from Contacts.
Xola authenticates to the GHL API using OAuth tokens and API keys to authorize access to the Contacts API resources.

A URL path used to access a specific API function.
The method used to verify identity when calling the API (e.g., API key, OAuth token).
Idea: automatically create or update a contact in GHL when a new lead is generated in Xola.
Idea: push task updates from GHL into Xola to trigger reminders.
Idea: attach notes to contacts and trigger follow-ups in Xola.
Log into GHL, create or view your API key and OAuth client.
Set scope to contacts.readonly (and others needed) for Xola access.
Make test calls to sample endpoints and verify data flows to Xola.
The Contacts API scope for Xola primarily provides read access to contact data, with optional write permissions configurable by your GHL admin. This ensures you can retrieve contact details, notes, tasks, and related data without exposing full write access by default. Always apply the principle of least privilege and monitor quota usage in the GHL admin console to avoid interruptions.
Yes. If your GHL account grants the necessary permissions, Xola can read and write contact data to GHL. Plan your writes carefully to maintain data integrity and handle validation errors gracefully. Use proper error handling and retries to manage network or API errors.
Requests are authenticated via OAuth tokens and, where applicable, API keys issued by GHL. Keep tokens secure, rotate them periodically, and store them in a secure vault or credentials manager. Always validate token scopes before making API calls and log authentication failures for auditing.
End points include reading contacts, their tasks, notes, and basic contact management actions. The Endpoints list in this page outlines what is available and which ones apply to Xola workflows. Not every endpoint is required for every use case—start with the essential reads and expand as needed.
API call limits exist; plan traffic and consider batching or paging for large data sets. If you hit rate limits (429 errors), implement backoff logic and retry with exponential delays. Contact support if quotas regularly constrain your automation needs.
Test the integration in a staging or sandbox environment using sample data. Validate authentication, endpoint responses, and data synchronization with Xola before going live. Document any discrepancies and adjust mappings as needed.
Error details appear in the API response payload and in the GHL admin logs. Enable verbose logging in development and review error codes, messages, and retry suggestions to resolve issues quickly.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
