Use OAuth 2.0 with the scope contacts.readonly to securely access contact data and related resources
Authorize the connector with your Zapier account and the GHL API via OAuth 2.0 or an API key as supported by the connector

Actions to perform include create or update contacts and fetch tasks
Use GET /contacts/:contactId and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to assemble a complete view
Required fields: contactId, updateTime, taskId
Trigger when a new or updated contact indicates a task is needed
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks and update notes
Use POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to create tasks tied to a contact
Required fields: contactId, title, dueDate
Trigger when notes are added or updated in the app and reflect in GHL
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/notes and POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
Use POST for notes and tags endpoints to enrich contact data
Required fields: contactId, note content, tag list
Build powerful automations without writing a line of code
Connect multiple data points like contacts tasks notes in real time
Scale workflows securely with built in error handling and retries
This glossary explains core terms and processes you will encounter when integrating with the GHL API via the Zapier App Connector
A specific URL that performs a function in the API and returns data
A callback URL that receives real time events from the API
Authorization framework to securely grant access without sharing credentials
Maximum requests allowed in a given time window to protect the API
Set up a zap to push contact changes from GHL to your app in real time, keeping data in sync
Create new tasks in the destination app when a contact triggers a relevant event in GHL
Sync notes and tags from the app into GHL to enrich contact records
Grant permissions for Contacts API to the Zapier App Connector using OAuth 2.0
Select endpoint groups such as contacts and tasks based on your automation needs
Run tests, verify data flows, and enable live automations
The Contacts API gives programmatic access to contact data, tasks, notes, and more within GHL. The Zapier App Connector lets you build no code automations that read and write this data. You can combine multiple endpoints to create powerful workflows and keep your systems in sync with minimal effort.
No coding is required when using the App Connector. You can configure triggers and actions via the UI and rely on prebuilt templates to accelerate setup.
Common endpoints for syncing include getting a contact and its tasks, notes, and the ability to create or update tasks and notes as needed. This enables near real time data synchronization across systems.
Authentication typically uses OAuth 2.0 or API keys with secure token management. The connector provides secure storage and error handling to protect credentials and manage access tokens.
Yes. Use a test or sandbox environment or read only mode to validate flows before going live. This protects live data while you build and test.
The connector logs errors and supports retries with backoff. Design your workflows to be idempotent and leverage built in retry policies to handle transient failures.
Endpoint docs and samples are available in the official docs and templates. Review examples to learn common patterns for syncing contacts, tasks, notes, and tags.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
