To connect, obtain proper credentials for the Contacts API and grant the Zapier App Connector the required scope (readonly for viewing data).
In Zapier, establish a secure connection by providing OAuth credentials for the Contacts API and selecting the Contacts API scope; store tokens securely.

In Zapier, connect your Contacts API account and select the required scope.
Pick endpoints like GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch data, and POST/PUT to update.
Run tests, verify data flow, and deploy to automation.
You typically authenticate using OAuth2 or API keys. Ensure your Zapier connection includes the required scope for read access (contacts.readonly). For write actions, use a credential with write permissions if supported. Store credentials securely and rotate tokens regularly.
The available endpoints cover reading contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments, as well as creating and updating records via POST, PUT, and DELETE where allowed. For example: GET /contacts/:contactId and POST /contacts/; PUT /contacts/:contactId; POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks.
Yes. Zapier supports mapping data from GHL responses into fields in your Zaps, allowing you to build workflows without code. Use built-in actions to translate API data into app fields.
Rate limits vary by endpoint and plan. If you hit a limit, implement retries with backoff and consider batching requests where supported.
Error handling includes parsing error responses, retrying transient failures, and logging issues for debugging. Use status codes to determine retry feasibility.
You can sync core entities: contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments, keeping records updated in both GHL and connected apps.
Endpoint references and examples can be found in the GHL API documentation and the Zapier app connector guides within Rankr’s knowledge base.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
