The Contacts API lets you access and manage contact data within GHL. It exposes endpoints for retrieving contacts, tasks, notes, and more, enabling powerful automations. Use your GHL API credentials to authenticate requests securely.
Authentication typically uses API keys or OAuth tokens. In Zapier, you configure a connection to your GHL account, then authorize access to the Contacts API. This ensures that data is transmitted securely between apps.
Available endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId, DELETE /contacts/:contactId, and others listed in the endpoint catalog. You can perform read and write operations as permitted by your scope.
Yes. You can create, update, and manage tasks for contacts using endpoints like POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks and PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId. You can also mark tasks as completed.
Usage depends on your plan and rate limits set by the API. Check headers returned with responses for quota details and implement retry logic in your Zapier workflows.
In Zapier, run a test connection from the connector setup. Validate sample data transfers and verify field mappings before enabling live automation.
The Zapier App Connector can connect to any service that supports standard REST endpoints and OAuth or API key authentication. This includes CRM, marketing, and support tools that your team uses alongside GHL.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
