Authenticate with OAuth 2.0 and request the contacts.readonly scope to read contact data. Exchange tokens securely and store them for API calls.
Configure the YoPrint app connection to obtain an access token that can call the GHL Contacts API with the required scope.
GET /contacts/:contactId; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id; GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments; GET /contacts/; GET /contacts/business/:businessId; 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; POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
Trigger: When a contact is selected in YoPrint, fetch the latest data via GET /contacts/:contactId from the GHL Contacts API.
Actions: pull contact details, gather associated tasks, notes, and appointments, and update YoPrint records.
GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, name, email, phone
Trigger: Retrieve all contacts for a given business using GET /contacts/business/:businessId
Actions: iterate through contacts, sync related tasks, notes, and tags to YoPrint
GET /contacts/business/:businessId
Key fields: businessId, contactId, name, email
Trigger: Create or update a contact in GHL from YoPrint, or delete a contact when removed in YoPrint
Actions: POST /contacts/ to create, PUT /contacts/:contactId to update, DELETE /contacts/:contactId to remove
POST /contacts/; PUT /contacts/:contactId; DELETE /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, name, email, phone, tags
Automated data syncing between GHL and YoPrint reduces manual entry and errors.
Centralized contact management enables stronger lifecycle automation and reporting.
Faster workflows and task automation accelerate sales and support processes.
Key elements and processes you will use when integrating GHL Contacts API with YoPrint include endpoints, authentication, field mappings, and automation steps.
A specific URL path and HTTP method used to access a resource in an API.
An authorization framework that lets apps obtain limited access to a user’s data without exposing credentials.
A label describing the permissions granted to an access token.
The data object exposed by an API, such as a contact or note.
Use GET/POST endpoints to pull details and assign lifecycle tags in YoPrint automatically based on status fields.
Create tasks in YoPrint when important fields change in GHL.
Regular bulk exports by business to feed reports and dashboards.
Obtain OAuth 2.0 tokens with the Contacts API scope and configure the connection in YoPrint.
Test GET /contacts/:contactId to verify data and map to YoPrint fields.
Create Zapier automations to trigger on changes and call endpoints.
No heavy coding is required thanks to Zapier connectors and the YoPrint app setup. Start by configuring the GHL connection in YoPrint, then map basic contact fields. You can extend automations with simple triggers and actions. If you prefer, you can also customize advanced workflows with minimal scripting in the Zapier layer.
For basic sync, focus on GET endpoints like /contacts/:contactId to pull data and /contacts/ to discover contacts. Use POST/PUT for creation or updates as needed, and the DELETE endpoint to remove records. Map fields to YoPrint once data is retrieved to ensure a clean data model.
Use OAuth 2.0, request the contacts.readonly scope for read access, and securely store access and refresh tokens. Regularly rotate tokens and validate scopes before calls. Use secure endpoints and follow best practices for token storage.
Yes. Use POST /contacts/ to create, PUT /contacts/:contactId to update, and DELETE /contacts/:contactId to remove. Ensure your app handles failures gracefully and maintains data integrity in YoPrint.
API rate limits vary by plan; implement exponential backoff and retry logic. Use pagination for listing endpoints (e.g., GET /contacts) and cache responses where appropriate to avoid excessive calls.
Map fields such as name, email, phone, and tags from GHL to YoPrint in your automation tool. Use field mapping in Zapier or YoPrint settings, then test thoroughly to ensure data lands in the right YoPrint fields.
API documentation for the GHL Contacts API can be found in the developer portal. Use the endpoint list above as a quick reference and consult official docs for auth flows, rate limits, and error handling.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
