Learn how to authenticate requests to the GHL API using your API key or OAuth, and how to securely store credentials in Zapier.
Zapier securely handles authentication for the connector, including token refreshing and credential storage.

Overview of endpoints, triggers, actions, and data fields used when integrating the Contacts API with the Zapier App Connector.
A defined set of protocols and tools for building software and applications that can communicate with each other.
A specific URL and method used to access a resource in an API.
Process of verifying identity to grant access to resources.
A URL endpoint that receives real-time data via HTTP POST from a service.
When a new lead enters your inbox, create a contact in the Contacts API and automatically assign a follow-up task.
Push tasks from your CRM to the Contacts API and keep statuses in sync with Zapier.
Automatically update contact notes in the API when events occur in connected apps.
Provide API credentials or complete OAuth flow and test the connection.
Select trigger events such as contact updates or new contacts.
Set actions to fetch contact data, create new contacts, or update task status.
The Contacts API exposes endpoints to retrieve and manage contacts, tasks, notes, and more. You can read, create, update, and delete resources within the defined scopes (for example, contacts.readonly) via GHL endpoints.
No extensive coding is required when using Zapier App Connector. However, some advanced workflows may benefit from basic scripting or conditional logic within Zapier.
Yes, you can combine multiple endpoints to build complex workflows. Smart routing lets you fetch data, then create tasks or notes in a single automation.
Authentication is handled securely via OAuth or API keys. Always store tokens securely and rotate credentials as recommended.
Completed tasks can be updated or archived; monitor status changes. Data deletion occurs only when you explicitly call a delete endpoint.
API endpoints may have rate limits based on your plan. If limits are reached, implement retries with backoff and staggered requests.
Use the built-in test and debugging tools in Zapier to verify responses. Check status codes, headers, and error messages to troubleshoot.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
