Authenticate requests to the Tasks API using your GHL API key or OAuth credentials. Store credentials securely and rotate keys regularly.
HelpCrunch will exchange secure tokens with GHL to perform authorized actions. Use secure webhooks and IP allowlisting to protect data.
Endpoint 1: POST /locations/:locationId/tasks/search — search tasks within a location. Other endpoints are available in the GHL Tasks API docs and can be wired as needed.
Trigger: when a new task is created in GHL, automatically create a matching task in HelpCrunch to keep teams aligned.
Actions: create HelpCrunch task, set status, assign to agent, and attach notes for context.
POST /locations/:locationId/tasks/search
locationId, query, status, dueDate, priority
Trigger: GHL task status changes to completed or updated.
Actions: update corresponding HelpCrunch task, add activity notes, and notify stakeholders.
PUT /locations/:locationId/tasks/:taskId
locationId, taskId, status, assignee
Trigger: GHL tasks update or due reminders.
Actions: post a message or update in HelpCrunch channels and threads.
POST /locations/:locationId/tasks/notifications
locationId, channel, messageTemplate

Real-time data sync improves response times and customer outcomes.
Understand the core terms, elements, and processes involved when linking GHL Tasks API with HelpCrunch, including endpoints, authentication, webhooks, and data mapping.
Application Programming Interface — a set of rules that allows different software to communicate and share data.
A specific URL in an API that performs a defined operation, such as searching or updating a task.
A lightweight mechanism for real-time data delivery where one app notifies another about events as they occur.
A GHL account context representing a physical or logical location where tasks reside.
Generate daily or weekly task digests in HelpCrunch from GHL Tasks to keep teams informed.
Route tasks to the right HelpCrunch agents by location, priority, and customer segment.
Trigger proactive reminders in HelpCrunch based on GHL task due dates.
Request API keys or OAuth credentials from GHL and configure a secure connection.
Set up webhooks to send events between GHL and HelpCrunch and verify delivery.
Test calls in a sandbox, review logs, and confirm data integrity before going live.
GHL supports API key-based authentication and OAuth for the Tasks API. Choose the method that aligns with your security policy and securely store credentials. Implement token rotation and least-privilege access to minimize risk.
No extensive coding is required for typical setups using built-in connectors. You can leverage no-code automation builders to map data between GHL Tasks API and HelpCrunch, though advanced mappings may benefit from light scripting. For complex workflows, consider a developer-assisted integration and use test environments to validate data integrity.
You can sync task titles, descriptions, due dates, statuses, and assignees between GHL and HelpCrunch. Map fields to align with your support or operations workflows. Ensure data formats are consistent (e.g., ISO date formats) to avoid parsing issues.
Test the integration in a sandbox or staging environment to verify authentication and data flow. Check webhook delivery logs and API response codes, then simulate common scenarios like new task creation or status updates. Review any error messages and adjust mappings or permissions as needed.
Yes. API usage may be subject to rate limits defined by GHL. Design your automation to batch requests where possible and implement exponential backoff on throttled responses. Monitor your quota in the GHL dashboard and adjust trigger frequencies to stay within limits.
Yes. You can customize HelpCrunch notifications based on GHL task events by mapping fields and selecting target channels, templates, and conditions. You can tailor the alert content to specific teams or customer segments. Use templates to maintain consistent messaging and avoid over-notifying.
The available Tasks endpoints are documented in the GHL API docs. Start with Endpoint 1 (search) to locate tasks by location, then expand to update, create, and notify endpoints as your workflow requires. If you need a quick starter, use the provided example paths and expand as you validate data mappings.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
