GHL uses secure OAuth 2.0 flows and, in some setups, API keys. Ensure your APPNAME app requests the contacts.readonly scope and adheres to rate limits. Store tokens securely and refresh as needed.
APPNAME authenticates to GHL via the Zapier App Connector using OAuth or API token provisions. Configure credentials in your Zapier integration and test the connection before enabling automations.
Key endpoints include: GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id, GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments, GET /contacts/, GET /contacts/business/:businessId, POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId, DELETE /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed, DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
Trigger: a contact is updated in GHL, and the change is pushed to APPNAME immediately.
Actions: create or update the corresponding contact in APPNAME; sync related notes and tasks as needed.
Example method path: GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch latest details.
Key fields: id, email, name, phone
Trigger: new or updated tasks, notes linked to a contact in GHL.
Actions: create or update tasks/notes in APPNAME; optionally attach to the contact record.
Example: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to create a task in APPNAME.
Key fields: taskId, title, dueDate, status
Trigger: a new contact is created in GHL and should be added to APPNAME.
Actions: create or update the contact in APPNAME; link business, appointments, and associated activities.
Example: PUT /contacts/:contactId to sync updated details.
Key fields: contactId, name, email, businessId
Automate data flows without writing a line of code using Zapier’s app connector.
Visual field mappings and trigger-action workflows that anyone can configure.
Faster go-to-market with templates and reusable automation blocks.
Understand the core elements: endpoints, triggers, actions, and field mappings that power the integration.
A RESTful interface that lets you read and write GHL contact records.
A specific URL path for an API operation.
An event that starts a Zap or automation.
An operation performed in APPNAME or GHL as part of a workflow.
Capture new leads from APPNAME and create or update GHL contacts in real time.
When a task is created or updated in GHL, mirror it in APPNAME as a corresponding task.
Automatically attach notes from GHL to the related APPNAME contact to provide context.
Configure OAuth scopes and credentials for both sides; test the connection.
Define mappings between GHL contact fields and APPNAME fields; select relevant endpoints.
Run end-to-end tests in Zapier, validate data integrity, and deploy.
The GHL Contacts API provides programmatic access to contact data using REST endpoints. With APPNAME, you can pull or push contact details, tasks, notes, and appointments. This integration enables seamless automation without manual data entry.
For a basic sync, focus on endpoints such as GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, and POST /contacts/. These cover core read and write operations to keep contact records aligned.
No full‑stack coding is required thanks to Zapier’s App Connector. You configure triggers, actions, and field mappings through the UI, while the underlying API calls handle data transfer.
Authenticate using OAuth 2.0 with secure token storage. Use scoped permissions (for example, contacts.readonly) and rotate credentials regularly to maintain a strong security posture.
Yes. You can map standard and custom fields between GHL and APPNAME, ensuring field types and formats align. Use field aliases to accommodate differences.
Common issues include authentication failures, insufficient scopes, rate limits, and missing required fields. Check token validity, verify scopes, and review endpoint payloads.
Templates and example workflows are available in Zapier’s ecosystem and the GHL developer docs. Start with a starter zap and adapt to your data model.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
