Use OAuth 2.0 tokens from your GHL account to securely authorize requests from the Zapier App Connector. This integration uses the contacts.readonly scope to enable view-only access for reading contacts, notes, tasks, and appointments.
During setup, authorize the Zapier App Connector to access your GHL account, granting the requested scopes and selecting the target GHL instance.

Sign in to Zapier App Connector and authorize access to your GHL account.
Select a trigger such as New or Updated Contact to start workflows.
Set up actions like create contact, add notes, or create tasks in GHL.
The Contacts API exposes resources like contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments, enabling you to read data and perform basic operations from Zapier without coding. In Zapier, you can trigger on new or updated data and take actions to keep systems in sync. This no-code integration is designed to minimize setup time while delivering reliable data flows.
No extensive coding is required—the Zapier App Connector provides templates and presets for common workflows. You can customize field mappings and test connections using sample data within the Zapier UI.
Available endpoints include read operations for contacts, notes, tasks, and appointments, plus business queries. Write operations are controlled by scopes like contacts.write. Endpoint availability may vary by your GHL plan and account permissions.
Authentication is handled via OAuth 2.0 through GHL; you will authorize the Zapier App Connector to access your account. Some setups may require regenerating tokens or adjusting scopes in your GHL settings.
Yes. You can create tasks, notes, and tags from Zapier triggers. Map fields such as contactId, taskId, note content, and tag IDs to ensure accurate data flow.
API calls are subject to rate limits. If you hit limits, Zapier will back off and retry. Designing workflows to batch operations can help avoid throttling.
Use Zapier’s test feature and the GHL sandbox to validate connections. Review response data, check mappings, and view task histories to troubleshoot any issues.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
