To access the Tasks API from GHL, generate an API key with the locations/tasks.readonly scope and use it to authorize requests. Store credentials securely and rotate keys periodically.
Newslit authenticates with GHL using OAuth 2.0. In your Newslit app, configure a client ID and secret, request the necessary scopes, and securely store the access token for API calls.
– POST /locations/:locationId/tasks/search (Endpoint 1)
Trigger: When a task is created or updated in GHL and matches your location, the Tasks search endpoint returns results that should be pushed to Newslit.
Actions: create or update corresponding records in Newslit, map fields such as title, dueDate, status, and priority.
POST /locations/:locationId/tasks/search
Key fields: taskId, locationId, title, dueDate, status.
Trigger: Bulk results from a tasks search can be batched and synced to Newslit.
Actions: batch-create or upsert multiple Newslit records, with field mapping.
POST /locations/:locationId/tasks/search
Key fields: taskId, locationId, title.
Trigger: When a task status changes, send an update to Newslit.
Actions: update the corresponding Newslit task record, refresh status and priority.
POST /locations/:locationId/tasks/search
Key fields: taskId, status, updatedAt.
Automate repetitive task data flows without writing code.
Reduce manual data entry and keep records in sync in real time.
Easily scale integrations across locations using a single API.
Key elements: endpoints, authentication, field mapping, error handling, and monitoring. The process: configure credentials, map fields, test, and deploy.
Definition: A URL and HTTP method used to perform a specific action against the GHL Tasks API.
Definition: The mechanism by which requests are validated (API keys, OAuth tokens) to grant access to resources.
Definition: A callback URL that notifies your system of events as they happen.
Definition: How results are delivered in chunks using page tokens or cursors.
Set up a workflow that tags tasks by due date, priority, and category, making it easy to filter in Newslit.
Create an automated archive path in Newslit when a task moves to done in GHL.
Build a live dashboard in Newslit that reflects current task status from GHL.
Create a GHL API key with the scope locations/tasks.readonly and note the base URL for API calls.
In Newslit, add a new connection using the Tasks API credentials, select the proper scope, and authorize requests.
Run test calls to the search endpoint, map fields, verify data integrity, and enable automatic syncing.
Authentication is handled using API keys or OAuth tokens. Start by generating a GHL API key with the locations/tasks.readonly scope and securely store it. In Newslit, configure the connection to use this key for each API call. Regularly rotate keys and monitor usage to protect data. For ongoing operations, implement token storage best practices and log authentication events to detect unusual activity.
The primary endpoint you’ll use is POST /locations/:locationId/tasks/search, which retrieves tasks based on your location. You may combine it with filters like status or due date to drive downstream actions in Newslit. Always consult the latest API docs for any updates or additional endpoints. Test endpoints in a sandbox environment before going live to ensure mappings align with your data model.
Yes. You can map custom fields by configuring field mappings in your Newslit connection. Define which GHL task fields (title, dueDate, status, custom fields) map to corresponding fields in Newslit records. Maintain a mapping manifest and version it for changes. If custom fields aren’t present in one system, create equivalent fields or use fallback values to preserve data integrity.
To test, run a controlled search for a subset of tasks using locationId and verify that the results populate in Newslit with correct field mappings. Check error logs for any mismatches and adjust your mapping or authentication as needed. Perform end-to-end tests that cover creation, update, and archival of tasks to confirm real-time syncing.
If data is missing or mismatched, verify your field mappings and ensure the correct API scope is granted. Review API response schemas to confirm required fields are present, and implement fallback rules for optional fields. Enable detailed logging to identify where data diverges and adjust transformation rules accordingly.
No-code options are available via connectors that use the Tasks API as a source. You can configure mapping and triggers without writing code, leveraging the GHL and Newslit UI to manage credentials and field mappings. For advanced use cases, consider a small amount of scripting or a low-code workflow to handle complex transformations.
You can view logs and errors within the Newslit connection dashboard and the GHL API access logs. Look for authentication failures, 4xx/5xx responses, and mapping errors. Set up alerting on critical failures and maintain a retry policy to ensure resilience of your integration.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
