Authenticate with OAuth 2.0 and request the contacts.readonly scope to securely access contact records from Zoho People via GHL.
Zoho People uses OAuth 2.0 tokens to authorize API requests and keep your data safe in transit and at rest.

Key elements include endpoints, triggers, actions, and mapping processes used to connect Zoho People with the GHL Contacts API.
A URL path used to access a specific resource in an API.
An event in a system that starts a workflow or automation.
The process of verifying identity and obtaining access tokens to call APIs.
Translating fields between apps so data aligns correctly in both systems.
Create or update a Zoho People contact in GHL when a new contact is added, ensuring a single source of truth.
Sync changes from Zoho People to GHL and from GHL to Zoho People in near real-time.
Link tasks between apps to trigger reminders and status updates.
Register apps in both Zoho and GHL, note client IDs, client secrets, and scopes.
Define which endpoints to use and map Zoho People fields to the Contacts API fields.
Run end-to-end tests, set up error handling, and monitor data sync.
We support OAuth 2.0 tokens for both Zoho and GHL. Use scopes such as contacts.readonly to fetch data securely. Tokens can be refreshed automatically in most setups. In secured environments, API keys can be used where supported, with rotation and auditing enabled.
For basic sync, focus on the core endpoints: GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/, POST /contacts/, and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks. These provide the essential data to create and update records in Zoho People and GHL. Expand later with notes, tags, and tasks as needed.
No custom code is required if you use the built-in connectors and workflows in GHL. They provide point-and-click configuration to map fields and define triggers and actions. For advanced logic, you can add webhooks or small scripts as needed.
Test with sandbox or staging apps, then run end-to-end scenarios that mirror real user flows. Check mapping accuracy, error logs, and token validity. Validate data in both Zoho People and GHL after each test run.
Data security relies on TLS in transit, token-based access, and least-privilege permissions. Rotate credentials regularly and store secrets in a secure vault. Monitor for unusual activity and enable audit trails.
Rate limits depend on the endpoint and plan. Plan for bursts by implementing retries with backoff and caching where feasible. Consult API docs for current quotas and best practices.
Yes. You can customize mappings between Zoho People fields and the GHL Contacts API fields. Ensure data types align and add validation rules to prevent bad data from syncing.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
