Feature Request: Tasks API support for Custom Objects
H
Hp Patel
Please add API endpoints to create, read, update, and complete Tasks that are associated with Custom Object records (similar to the existing Tasks APIs for Contacts).
Custom Objects already include a Tasks module in the UI, but there’s currently no API to automate those tasks. This blocks workflow automation for agencies and SaaS apps that rely on Custom Objects for operational records.
Feature parity: Tasks exist for Custom Objects in the UI, but there’s no API—this is a clear gap vs. Contacts Tasks.
Reduces support burden: Today users ask how to “auto-create tasks for custom object records” and the answer is “not possible.” An API removes a frequent blocker.
Consistency for developers: A single Tasks API pattern across entities (Contacts + Custom Objects) simplifies docs, onboarding, and implementation.

Add Tasking Functionality to Custom Objects
M
Michael Warren
Right now, tasks in GHL can only be assigned to Contact records, but many of us are using Custom Objects to manage our workflows, especially in more complex business models (like real estate, service ops, etc.).
We need the ability to create and assign tasks directly within a Custom Object record, just like we can with Contacts. Whether it's follow-up reminders, document reviews, or task automation, this functionality is crucial for teams using custom objects as their primary workspace.
Adding tasking to Custom Objects would make workflows far more efficient and reduce dependency on workarounds that tie everything back to a Contact unnecessarily. This would be a huge upgrade for power users and agencies building advanced systems inside GHL.
Please consider adding this feature soon!
