Authenticate access to the Contacts API using OAuth or API keys, then authorize Zoho Cliq to read and manage contact data with the scope: contacts.readonly.
Zoho Cliq authentication ensures secure app-to-app data transfer, with permission scopes limited to the needed operations.

Zero-code automation between Contacts API and Zoho Cliq.
Faster onboarding with ready-to-use templates.
Consolidated alerts and activity feeds in Zoho Cliq.
This glossary defines API, authentication, endpoints, and webhooks in the context of GHL-to-Zoho Cliq integration.
Application Programming Interface: a set of endpoints that allow applications to exchange data safely.
A method for real-time event delivery from one system to another when a specified event occurs.
Process of verifying identity and granting access to APIs.
A URL path in an API that performs a specific operation, such as retrieving a contact record.
Notify teams instantly when a contact is updated.
Create tasks in Zoho Cliq when a contact task is due.
Post a weekly summary of contact activity to a channel.
Create OAuth credentials for Contacts API and authorize Zoho Cliq.
Ensure scope includes contacts.readonly and necessary write permissions.
Run a test to fetch a contact and post a message to Zoho Cliq.
No-code templates exist to help you start quickly. However, basic setup often requires some configuration in the Zoho Cliq and GHL app settings. If you know how to connect apps, you can implement a workflow with webhooks and actions. If you need, you can use prebuilt connectors or hire a consultant.
For a minimal sync, focus on getting contact read access and a basic post to Zoho Cliq when a contact is created. You can extend with tasks and notes endpoints as needed.
Use OAuth 2.0 with short-lived tokens and refresh tokens; store tokens securely. Follow Zoho Cliq’s security guidelines and GHL scope limitations to minimize exposure.
Yes. You can trigger actions from Zoho Cliq using webhooks or command-based triggers, then call GHL endpoints to update contacts or tasks.
Rotate tokens regularly, implement secure storage, and respect token expiry. Use refresh tokens and minimize token scope.
Rate limits exist on both sides. Batch requests when possible, and implement retry logic with exponential backoff.
GHL API documentation is available in the developer portal and API reference for the Contacts API. Check the endpoints listed above for integration options.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
