Authenticate with OAuth 2.0 using the required scope: contacts.readonly. Obtain credentials from your GHL developer project and keep tokens secure.
Connect YouTube via OAuth 2.0 and grant the necessary permissions to read and write contact data through the API.
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; contacts.write; 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 created or updated in GHL to synchronize changes with YouTube profiles in real time.
Actions include upserting YouTube profiles, updating related video interactions, and tagging the contact for easy lookup.
GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, name, email, phone
Trigger when a new task is created or updated for a contact to reflect progress in YouTube workflows.
Actions: create or update a task in the Contacts API and surface updates in YouTube project dashboards.
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: contactId, taskId, taskName, status
Trigger when notes or appointments for a contact are added or updated to attach context in YouTube activities.
Actions: create notes or appointments linked to the YouTube profile and video interactions.
POST /contacts/:contactId/notes
Key fields: contactId, noteId, content
Fast setup with no coding required using ready-made endpoints and triggers.
Visual workflows let you map fields and automate data flows between GHL and YouTube.
Get value quickly with templates, dashboards, and low-friction automation.
A concise glossary of API terms, endpoints, OAuth scopes, and data mapping concepts used in this guide.
API stands for Application Programming Interface—the set of rules that lets apps talk to each other and access features.
OAuth is a standard for granting tokens to apps to access resources securely.
An endpoint is a specific URL path that performs a function or retrieves data from an API.
Scope defines what an access token can do, e.g., contacts.readonly.
Automatically create or update a YouTube profile whenever a new contact is added in GHL.
Sync contact notes to YouTube comments or notes on related videos.
Automatically generate tasks when contact actions occur and surface in YouTube workflows.
Obtain OAuth tokens and grant access to required scopes (contacts.readonly).
Map GHL contact fields to YouTube records and set up triggers.
Run tests, verify data in YouTube, and enable automation rules.
The Contacts API lets you read and manage contact data across GHL. It enables automation and data sync with connected apps like YouTube. This section explains how to authenticate, call endpoints, and use the data in YouTube workflows. The API supports reading, creating, updating, and organizing contacts, tasks, notes, and more to power your multichannel automations.
No coding is required for core flows. Use the ready-made endpoints and triggers to connect GHL contacts to YouTube. For advanced needs, you can still leverage basic API calls via your integration platform and customize mappings.
Endpoints cover reads, writes, and management of related items like tasks, notes, and appointments. You can fetch contact details, tasks, notes, and more to drive YouTube-driven automations and reporting.
Authentication uses OAuth 2.0 with scoped access. Tokens are issued securely and should be stored in a safe vault. Use refresh tokens to maintain a long-lived session and minimize re-authentication.
Yes. You can sync notes, tasks, and appointments between GHL and YouTube. Build triggers and actions to reflect changes in either system and keep records aligned.
Test the integration in a staging environment, review webhook logs, and verify data mappings. Use sample contacts and notes to validate flows before going live.
Logs appear in your integration platform and in the GHL activity history. Monitor errors, retries, and success metrics to troubleshoot problems quickly.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
