Use OAuth 2.0 tokens to securely access the Contacts API. Generate a client ID and secret in your GHL developer console and exchange them for access tokens to authorize requests.
Configure the Zapier app to store and refresh the GHL access token securely. Use the OAuth flow or API key method provided by the connector to authorize calls to the Contacts API.

The Contacts API exposes core contact data, notes, tasks, and appointments. You can read contact profiles, pull associated items, and drive automation from connected apps. For updates or creation, use the corresponding POST, PUT, or DELETE endpoints. Always secure requests with valid tokens and scopes. Two paragraphs of detail explaining data accessibility and usage.
No code is required when using the Zapier App Connector. Set up triggers, actions, and map fields using a visual builder. The integration handles API calls under the hood, letting you automate workflows without writing code. A second paragraph about reliability and testing.
Authenticate via OAuth 2.0 to obtain an access token. The app stores and refreshes tokens automatically. Use the token in Authorization headers when calling endpoints. A second paragraph about refreshing tokens and best practices.
Yes, there are rate limits per endpoint and per app. Plan usage to stay within quotas. You can implement batching and caching strategies to reduce calls. A second paragraph with examples.
Yes. You can create or update notes and tasks using POST and PUT endpoints. Map fields from your app to the GHL fields and test changes to verify results. A second paragraph with tips.
Map fields such as contactId, email, firstName, lastName, and related IDs between GHL and your app. Use field pipelines to handle transformations and ensure data integrity. A second paragraph with an example.
API docs and endpoints are typically available in the developer portal of GHL. The Zapier app connector also provides guided setup and inline help. A second paragraph about where to find docs and how to use them.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
