Overview
The node integrates with the GoHighLevel V2 API, enabling automation workflows to manage CRM data. Specifically, for the Contact - Find operation, it allows users to search for contacts within their GoHighLevel account by specifying criteria such as email address. This is useful in scenarios where you want to retrieve contact details dynamically during workflow execution, for example, to check if a contact exists before updating or sending communications.
Practical examples:
- Finding a contact by email to fetch their details and personalize marketing campaigns.
- Verifying if a contact already exists before creating a new record to avoid duplicates.
- Retrieving contact information to use in subsequent workflow steps like sending SMS or emails.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| The email address of the contact to find. Used as a search criterion to locate contacts. |
Output
The output is an array of JSON objects representing the found contact(s). Each object contains the contact's data fields as returned by the GoHighLevel API. If multiple contacts match the search criteria, each will be included as a separate item in the output array.
If the node encounters an error during execution and "Continue On Fail" is enabled, the output will include an object with an error field describing the issue.
No binary data output is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the GoHighLevel API via OAuth2 authentication.
- The node depends on the GoHighLevel V2 API being accessible and the user having appropriate permissions to read contact data.
- No additional environment variables are required beyond the configured API credentials.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or expired API credentials can cause authentication failures.
- Providing an email that does not exist in the system will result in no contacts found (empty output).
- Network connectivity problems may prevent API calls from succeeding.
Error messages:
"The resource "contact" is not known!": Indicates an unsupported resource was selected; ensure "Contact" is chosen.- API errors returned from GoHighLevel (e.g., rate limits, permission denied) will be surfaced as error messages in the node output if "Continue On Fail" is enabled.
To resolve errors:
- Verify API credentials and refresh tokens if necessary.
- Confirm the email input is correctly formatted.
- Check network connectivity and API service status.
