Authenticate requests with your GHL credentials and include the proper Authorization header. Use a key, token, or OAuth flow as configured for your org.
Configure OAuth2 or API key credentials in the Zapier app settings and securely store refresh tokens to maintain access.

Trigger: When a contact is created or updated, use the data to seed downstream workflows.
Actions: Retrieve, update, or enrich contact data; create related tasks or notes.
GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, name, email, phone, tags
Trigger: Task changes for a contact can start reminders or progress tracking.
Actions: Create, update, or delete tasks; filter by status or due date.
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: contactId, taskId, title, dueDate, status
Trigger: New notes or updates to a contact’s notes.

Automate routine workflows without writing a line of code.
Achieve fast data synchronization between GHL and your other tools.
Explore endpoints visually and compose powerful automations in minutes.
A quick glossary of the API elements and the processes you’ll use to connect GHL Contacts API with the Zapier App Connector.
A specific URL pattern that performs an action, such as retrieving a contact or creating a note.
The method used to verify your identity and authorize API requests (API keys, tokens, OAuth).
A data object exposed by the API, such as a contact, task, or note.
A limit on how many requests you can make in a given time window to protect the service.
Keep contact data in sync across systems with real-time updates.
Automatically generate tasks and notes when triggers occur to keep teams aligned.
Consolidate data from GHL and apps into actionable dashboards.
Create credentials in GHL and Zapier, then test the connection.
Select endpoints to use and map fields between GHL and your apps.
Build your automation in Zapier with triggers and actions.
The Contacts API exposes endpoints such as /contacts, /contacts/:contactId, /contacts/:contactId/tasks, and /contacts/:contactId/notes. You can fetch, list, and manage records as part of automations. Start with a GET to retrieve sample data and understand the payload. For production, secure your keys and follow your company’s security policies.
No heavy coding is required. The Zapier App Connector enables no-code or low-code automations by mapping fields and configuring triggers and actions. You can leverage prebuilt templates and test steps in the builder.
Authentication uses a credential pair configured in the GHL side and the Zapier app. Use API keys or OAuth tokens in the Authorization header and refresh tokens as needed. Ensure tokens are stored securely.
Yes. The API enforces rate limits to protect services. Space out requests or batch operations where possible and implement exponential backoff in your automation.
Yes. You can create tasks or notes in response to triggers. Map fields to the appropriate endpoints and test to confirm creation.
In Zapier’s test tool, run a sample trigger to fetch data and verify mappings. You can also use sandbox environments to verify authentication and endpoint behavior.
Consult the official documentation for endpoint usage, authentication, and error handling. If you need more help, contact support or join the community forums for the GHL and Zapier App Connector.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
