Authenticate to the Contacts API using OAuth 2.0. Create your GHL app in the developer portal, obtain client credentials, and grant the necessary scopes (e.g., contacts.readonly) to enable data access from APPNAME.
Configure APPNAME to securely store and refresh tokens. The connector handles OAuth 2.0 flow or API key authentication, depending on your setup, ensuring smooth and secure data transfers.
GET /contacts/:contactId — Retrieve a single contact GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks — Get tasks for a contact GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Get a specific task GET /contacts/:contactId/notes — Get notes for a contact GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id — Get a specific note GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments — Get appointments for a contact GET /contacts/ — List all contacts GET /contacts/business/:businessId — List contacts by business
Trigger when a specific contact is accessed or updated via GET /contacts/:contactId
Fetch a contact’s tasks, notes, and appointments using endpoints 2, 4, and 6 to populate downstream actions
GET /contacts/:contactId
contactId
Trigger on new or updated contact lists via GET /contacts/
Sync core contact fields and basic business associations using GET /contacts/ and GET /contacts/business/:businessId
GET /contacts/
contactId, businessId
Trigger on task changes with GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks and related endpoints
Create, update, complete, or delete tasks using endpoints 13–16
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
contactId, taskId
Automate workflows quickly without writing code; connect apps with a few clicks.
Keep contact data in sync across GHL and APPNAME in real time.
Easily extend with additional endpoints as your use case grows.
This glossary defines API, authentication, endpoints, triggers, and related terms to help you design robust integrations between GHL and APPNAME.
A set of rules and protocols that lets software applications communicate and share data.
A specific URL in an API that performs a function when called (e.g., GET /contacts/:contactId).
The process of verifying identity before granting access to data or services (e.g., OAuth 2.0).
A URL endpoint that receives real-time event data pushed by another service.
When a new contact is added, automatically generate a starter task list to accelerate onboarding and follow-ups.
Push notes from the Contacts API into a centralized CRM timeline for complete context.
Automatically assign or remove tags on contacts based on task status and completions.
Create a GHL app, obtain client credentials, and configure OAuth 2.0 in APPNAME.
Map contactId and taskId fields to the corresponding endpoints (e.g., /contacts/:contactId and /contacts/:contactId/tasks).
Run end-to-end tests in APPNAME and deploy the integration to your workflow.
The Contacts API is a RESTful interface that lets you access and manage contact data from your GHL account. It supports common operations like retrieving a single contact, listing contacts, and accessing related data such as tasks, notes, and appointments. This enables powerful automation and synchronization with APPNAME. To get started, create a GHL API app, obtain credentials, and configure the OAuth flow in APPNAME so your workflows can securely request data with the appropriate scopes.
Not necessarily. APPNAME provides a no-code/low-code way to connect APIs using OAuth 2.0 and predefined actions. However, a basic understanding of endpoints and data mapping helps you tailor workflows and maximize automation efficiency. For complex needs, you can extend the connector with custom mappings or additional endpoints.
Key endpoints for the Zip Archive API include retrieving a contact, a contact’s tasks, notes, and appointments, as well as listing all contacts and accessing business-specific data. The primary endpoints you’ll use are: GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments, and GET /contacts/.
Authentication typically uses OAuth 2.0. In your GHL developer portal, register an app to obtain client credentials. In APPNAME, configure the OAuth endpoints and scopes, then refresh tokens automatically to maintain access without manual intervention.
Test endpoints within APPNAME using sandbox data or a test GHL account. Validate authentication, field mappings, and the expected responses. Use error codes to debug issues and adjust retries and rate limits as needed.
Yes. You can fetch a contact’s tasks, notes, and appointments by chaining endpoints. This supports comprehensive workflows where task status or notes update trigger subsequent actions in your automation flows.
Handle errors by standardizing retries, logging, and fallback paths. Use meaningful error messages, monitor rate limits, and implement exponential backoff to cope with transient issues.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
