Authenticate requests from Upfirst to GHL using OAuth credentials or API keys. Store credentials securely and refresh tokens as needed to maintain uninterrupted access.
To connect Upfirst to GHL, authorize Upfirst with your GHL account via OAuth prompts. Grant the required permissions for task read/write access within your locations.
POST /locations/:locationId/tasks/search — search for tasks within a location. Additional endpoints: see API docs for locating tasks, creating, updating, and batch operations.
Trigger: a new Upfirst task creates a matching GHL task automatically.
Actions: map title, dueDate, status, and locationId, then push to GHL.
POST /locations/:locationId/tasks
Key fields: title, dueDate, status, locationId, notes
Trigger: periodic sync every 15 minutes to refresh GHL tasks.
Actions: fetch updates from Upfirst and apply to existing GHL tasks.
PUT /locations/:locationId/tasks/:taskId
Fields: taskId, title, status, lastModified
Trigger: on-demand bulk export of tasks.
Actions: batch-create tasks with proper field mapping and error handling.
POST /locations/:locationId/tasks/bulk
Key fields: tasks[].title, tasks[].dueDate, tasks[].status, batchId
Automate task creation and updates without writing code.
Keep teams aligned with real-time task status across locations.
Flexible field mapping and filters for clean data flow.
This guide outlines key elements and processes for linking the GHL Tasks API with Upfirst, including authentication, endpoints, triggers, actions, and field mappings.
An interface that allows Upfirst to request data from and send data to the GHL Tasks API.
A callback URL that notifies Upfirst of events like task updates.
A URL to access a specific resource in the GHL API.
Rules for aligning Upfirst task fields with GHL task fields during sync.
Send a daily summary of due tasks to teams to improve focus.
Automatically tag tasks by department or priority during sync.
Mirror GHL tasks in a calendar or project board to boost visibility.
Register your app in GHL and obtain client ID, client secret, and redirect URI.
Specify how Upfirst fields map to GHL task fields and set up the scopes.
Test authentication and sync flows; monitor logs and handle errors.
You authenticate using OAuth tokens or API keys. Ensure your Upfirst app has the necessary permissions to access task data in GHL. Follow prompts to authorize and store tokens securely. Use the provided scope locations/tasks.readonly to limit access to task data. If you encounter permission errors, re-authorize or check your OAuth scopes and redirect URI configuration.
The required scope for read operations is locations/tasks.readonly; for creating or updating tasks you may also need write scopes such as locations/tasks.write. Ensure your token includes the proper scopes before enabling write actions. If unsure, start with readonly to test and add write scopes as needed.
Yes. You can bulk import via the bulk endpoint. Use a properly formatted payload and monitor for errors. This is useful for migrating an existing task set into GHL. During bulk imports, validate each item to avoid duplicates and ensure required fields are present.
Use the integration settings to map Upfirst fields to corresponding GHL fields. For example map Upfirst title to GHL task name, dueDate to due date, and status to the GHL status field. Test mappings with sample data to confirm correctness.
Sync frequency can be near real time with webhooks or on a schedule. Consider API rate limits and set appropriate intervals. Test thoroughly to avoid duplicate or out-of-sync tasks.
Yes, webhooks notify Upfirst of changes in GHL and can trigger downstream actions. Configure webhooks for task create, update, and delete events to keep systems in sync.
Check the Upfirst dashboard logs or enable API logging in GHL. Use these logs to diagnose failures, view payloads, and confirm successful synchronizations.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
