Authorize requests to the GHL Contacts API via the App Connector using API keys or OAuth tokens, kept securely in Zapier.
Zapier stores credentials securely and uses them to access GHL endpoints; configure scopes and test the connection.

Automate data flow without writing code

A short glossary of terms used in GHL integrations with the Zapier App Connector
A specific URL path and method for accessing GHL data, such as GET /contacts/:contactId
A person or entity in GHL with fields like name, email, phone, and tags
The process of proving identity to access GHL endpoints using API keys, OAuth, or tokens
Variables in the endpoint path or query, such as contactId or businessId
When a new contact is added in GHL, automatically create a task in your project via Zapier to kick off follow-ups
Aggregate notes into a weekly summary and push to a dashboard
Sync email, phone, and tags from connected apps to GHL contacts
In Zapier, choose the GHL Contacts API and authorize your account
Select endpoints you plan to use (for example, read contact, read tasks, read notes)
Create Zaps that react to triggers and perform actions through the endpoints
Use your GHL API key or OAuth token to authenticate requests from Zapier. In the App Connector, create a connection and select the authentication method you prefer. Store credentials securely and rotate keys as needed. Once connected, you can test access to endpoints and verify permissions within Zapier’s test tools.
Start with read operations like GET /contacts/:contactId and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to pull data. Then extend to notes and notes-by-id with GET /contacts/:contactId/notes and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id to build richer workflows.
Yes. Endpoints for tasks support retrieving and updating; you can GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks and PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId to mark a task as updated or completed. Use similar patterns for notes and other related resources.
Notes and tags are accessible via GET /contacts/:contactId/notes and POST /contacts/:contactId/tags. You can create, read, and attach notes to contacts to enrich CRM data and trigger downstream actions.
In Zapier, use the GHL connector’s Test action to validate authentication and endpoint access. You can also perform live tests by triggering real events and monitoring data flow to connected apps.
The GHL API supports API keys and OAuth tokens for authentication. In the App Connector, configure credentials with appropriate scopes (for example, contacts.readonly) and securely store them. This ensures controlled access to endpoints.
No-code integration is available via the Zapier App Connector; you can set up triggers, actions, and searches without writing code. For advanced needs, you can chain steps and filters to build complex automations.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
