Authenticate with OAuth2 tokens issued for the Contacts API and grant the Zapier App Connector the permissions shown by your chosen scope (readonly in this setup). When you need write capabilities, request the appropriate scope and handle token refresh securely.
Create an OAuth2 client in the Zapier App Connector, configure redirect URLs, and connect to the Contacts API. Keep client secrets secure and implement token rotation and refresh flows.
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 (scope); 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 changes to a specific contact by polling GET /contacts/:contactId and refreshing data to downstream apps.
Actions include fetching contact details, associated notes, and tasks (endpoints 1–6) and optionally updating contact data (endpoints 11–16) as needed.
GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, name, email, phone, status
Trigger when multiple contacts are updated by polling GET /contacts/ and filtering by businessId or updated timestamps.
Actions: create or update multiple contacts via POST /contacts/ and propagate related changes to tasks, notes, and tags (endpoints 2–7, 10–17).
GET /contacts/
Key fields: contactId, lastModified, businessId
Trigger when new notes are created for a contact via GET /contacts/:contactId/notes.
Actions: create notes, attach them to contacts, and generate associated tasks or reminders as needed.
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
Key fields: contactId, id, noteContent
Automate repetitive workflows without writing any code by mapping triggers and actions across your apps.
Extend your CRM with connected apps to enrich data, automate tasks, and orchestrate processes end-to-end.
Centralize data flow to reduce manual data entry and improve reliability of your automations.
Definitions of endpoints, triggers, actions, and the data fields involved in this integration.
A request sent to the GHL Contacts API to retrieve, create, update, or delete data.
A specific URL path for an API operation.
Credentials used to authorize API access and obtain tokens.
A callback URL that delivers real-time data to your app when an event occurs.
Automatically generate tasks in your project board whenever a contact is created or updated via a form submission.
Push notes from your app into the corresponding contact in GHL to keep records current.
Use batch operations to tag and group many contacts at once for targeted campaigns.
Register the Zapier App Connector as an OAuth2 client and authorize access to Contacts API.
Set up read and write endpoints for triggers and actions in Zapier.
Run end-to-end tests and deploy your integration to production.
The available endpoints cover reading contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments, as well as creating and updating contacts, tasks, and tags. This enables you to fetch data and perform updates from your app. Always respect rate limits and paginate large results where supported. Two ways to use endpoints: as triggers (polling) or as actions (create/update).
No extensive coding is required when using the Zapier App Connector; it provides triggers, actions, and field mappings that work with the API. If you need custom logic, you can add code steps or use built-in transformers.
Authenticate using OAuth2 tokens issued for the Contacts API and securely store client secrets. Use refresh tokens and scope-limited access to minimize risk. Rotate credentials periodically.
Yes. You can update contacts with PUT /contacts/:contactId, add tasks, notes, or tags via the respective endpoints. Ensure your OAuth scope includes write permissions.
Rate limits vary by endpoint; implement retries with exponential backoff and respect Retry-After headers if provided. Cache and batch requests when possible.
Deleting is supported via DELETE /contacts/:contactId. Back up important data and consider soft deletes or archiving where appropriate.
Map fields by aligning your app’s data model with the GHL API fields. Use Zapier’s mapping tools to connect source and destination fields, and test with sample data.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
