Use OAuth 2.0 with Azure AD to obtain access tokens for the Contacts API. Required scope: contacts.readonly.
Register an app in Azure AD, configure redirect URIs, and grant the contacts.readonly permission. Exchange the authorization code for an access token and use the token in API calls.
GET /contacts/:contactId — Retrieve a single contact by ID GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks — List tasks for a contact GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Get a specific task for a contact GET /contacts/:contactId/notes — List notes for a contact GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id — Get a specific note GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments — List appointments for a contact GET /contacts/ — List all contacts GET /contacts/business/:businessId — List contacts by business contacts.write — Scope to write contacts POST /contacts/ — Create a new contact PUT /contacts/:contactId — Update a contact DELETE /contacts/:contactId — Delete a contact POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks — Create a task for a contact PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Update a task PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed — Mark task as completed DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Delete a task POST /contacts/:contactId/tags — Add tags to a contact
Trigger on demand to fetch a single contact by ID and pull related tasks and notes.
Actions: GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes.
GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, name, email
Trigger to fetch multiple contacts in a single call, such as by businessId with GET /contacts/business/:businessId.
Actions: GET /contacts/ and related tasks/notes for each contact.
GET /contacts/business/:businessId
Key fields: contactId, businessId, name
Trigger to create or update a contact and attach related tasks or notes.
Actions: POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks.
POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: contactId, name, email, tasks
Secure integration through Azure AD authentication and centralized permissions.
Unified data access in Zapier without writing server code.
Granular control with scopes like contacts.readonly and streamlined workflows.
Overview of essential elements: authentication, endpoints, data models, triggers, actions, and error handling to work with the Contacts API via Azure AD.
OAuth 2.0 authorization framework used for secure access tokens from Azure AD.
A URL path in the API that performs a specific operation.
Permissions granted to an app to access resources.
A short-lived token used to authorize API requests.
Pull contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments into a single dashboard for quick insights.
Automatically update contact records in GHL when Azure AD changes occur.
Leverage scopes and consent to enforce least privilege in workflows.
Create an app registration in Azure AD and capture the client ID.
Add the contacts.readonly permission and grant admin consent.
Enter the application (client) ID, tenant, and client secret into the Contacts API connector and test a token call to GET /contacts/.
The required scope for read-only access is contacts.readonly. This ensures that your app can retrieve contact data without making changes. When you request an access token, include this scope in the authorization request. Use the token in the Authorization header as Bearer {token}.
To authenticate with Azure AD, register an app, configure a redirect URI, and obtain a client ID and client secret. Guide users through the OAuth 2.0 authorization flow to receive an access token. Store tokens securely and attach them to API calls in the Authorization header as Bearer tokens.
For common tasks, start with GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch a single contact, GET /contacts/ to list contacts, and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to fetch related tasks. Use GET /contacts/business/:businessId to group contacts by business when needed.
Test endpoints using a token obtained from Azure AD. Include the token in the Authorization header (Bearer token). Use curl or a REST client to verify responses and error messages, and review the API documentation for required parameters.
Rate limits depend on your Azure AD tenant and the Contacts API plan. Monitor responses for 429 Too Many Requests and implement exponential backoff in your app. Request higher quotas if you expect heavy usage.
API documentation is available in your developer portal and the linked reference for the Contacts API endpoints. It includes endpoint descriptions, parameter details, and sample responses to help you implement correctly.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
