Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Protiv to GHL integration?

Protiv connects to the GHL Tasks API to retrieve tasks by location and to push updates when needed. This connection uses OAuth 2.0 tokens and the tasks.readonly scope to ensure secure read access. Follow the steps in this guide to set up credentials and test the integration safely. The integration supports searching tasks by location and can be extended to list or update tasks with proper permissions.

The core endpoint used on this page is POST /locations/:locationId/tasks/search to find tasks by location. Other endpoints such as GET /locations/:locationId/tasks and PATCH /locations/:locationId/tasks/:taskId are also available in the API for listing and updating tasks. Use the API documentation to explore additional endpoints.

The typical scope required is locations/tasks.readonly. Depending on your needs, you may request additional scopes. Always follow the principle of least privilege and only request what Protiv requires for your workflow.

To test the connection, generate a test OAuth token, configure it in Protiv, and make a test request to POST /locations/:locationId/tasks/search with a sample locationId. Verify that the response returns task data and that Protiv handles errors gracefully.

Yes, you can retrieve tasks for a single location using GET /locations/:locationId/tasks. If your data set is large, implement pagination and filters to manage results efficiently.

Common issues include invalid credentials, insufficient scopes, or incorrect locationId values. Ensure tokens are valid, scopes are granted, and the locationId exists in GHL. Check network permissions and retry with a fresh token if needed.

For more detailed guidance, refer to the official GHL API documentation and Protiv integration materials. If you run into issues, contact your integration administrator or support channel for assistance.
