Access to Contacts API requires the scope contacts.readonly and the appropriate credentials. Use OAuth2 where supported or an API key issued in your GHL developer console. Ensure your app requests the read only scope to safely pull contact data.
Connect the Zapier App Connector to GHL using OAuth2 or an API token. Follow the app setup steps to configure client ID client secret and redirect URL in the Zapier developer console, then test the connection before building automations.
GET /contacts/:contactId; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id; GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments; GET /contacts/; GET /contacts/business/:businessId; contacts.write; POST /contacts/; PUT /contacts/:contactId; DELETE /contacts/:contactId; POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed; DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
Trigger on new or updated contacts to start a Zapier workflow.
Use actions to fetch related tasks and notes for the contact: GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
GET /contacts/:contactId
contactId, businessId, taskId, id, tagId
Trigger when a task status changes to reflect in Zapier.
Actions include creating and updating tasks and marking them complete: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed
PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId
contactId, taskId
Trigger when notes are added or updated to kick off a Zap.
Actions: fetch notes and note IDs via GET /contacts/:contactId/notes and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
contactId, id

The Contacts API exposes endpoints for reading and managing contact data within GHL. It supports endpoints for tasks and notes and appointments and tags. Use the provided authentication method and scope to securely access data and build automations in Zapier App Connector.
Authentication uses OAuth2 or API keys depending on your setup. You will need to register your app in the GHL developer console and request the contacts.readonly scope. In Zapier App Connector configure the OAuth2 flow or token exchange and test the connection.
The endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId GET /contacts/:contactId/notes GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments GET /contacts/ GET /contacts/business/:businessId contacts.write POST /contacts/ PUT /contacts/:contactId DELETE /contacts/:contactId POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
Yes you can create contacts with POST /contacts/ and update with PUT /contacts/:contactId. The API supports full CRUD for core contact data along with related resources like tasks and notes.
Yes tasks notes and tags are exposed through endpoints. You can create update fetch and delete tasks notes and tags as part of your automations.
No heavy coding is required. Zapier App Connector provides triggers actions and data mapping to build automations with minimal scripting.
Test the connection in Zapier using the Test button and monitor logs for errors. Validate data flow by running a live Zap and reviewing task notes and contact updates in GHL.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
