The GHL Contacts API uses bearer token authentication. Obtain an API key from GHL and include it in the Authorization header for each request.
In Zapier, connect the app by providing the same GHL access token and selecting the required scope (contacts.readonly). For write operations, use a token with contacts.write permissions.
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; contacts.write; 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: New or updated contact in Bambelo creates or updates a corresponding contact in GHL. Action: Create a contact via POST /contacts/ and create a related task via POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks.
Actions: POST /contacts/ to create or update a contact; POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to add a follow-up task; optionally POST /contacts/:contactId/tags to categorize.
POST /contacts/; POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
name, email, phone, task due date, status
Trigger: Note added or updated for a contact in GHL prompts retrieval via GET /contacts/:contactId/notes.
Actions: GET /contacts/:contactId/notes to read notes; PUT /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id to update notes if needed.
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
contactId, id, content
Trigger: When a tag is assigned to a contact, trigger downstream automations.
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/tags to apply a tag; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed to mark tasks finished.
POST /contacts/:contactId/tags; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed
contactId, tag, completedStatus
Code-free automation between Bambelo and GHL via the Zapier App Connector
Centralized workflows to manage contacts, tasks, notes, and tags in one place
Flexible triggers and actions: automate follow-ups and updates without writing code
Key elements include authentication, endpoints, webhooks, triggers, and actions that make Bambelo + GHL integration work smoothly.
A route and HTTP method that performs a specific operation on the API, such as GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch a contact.
A security token used to authorize requests to GHL endpoints; include it in the Authorization header.
A specific URL path used to perform an action against the API.
A URL that receives event notifications from the API to trigger automations.
When a new contact is created in Bambelo, automatically create the contact in GHL and schedule a welcome task using the App Connector.
Capture notes from interactions and attach them to related tasks for context.
Apply tags to contacts based on behavior and automate segment-specific campaigns.
Gather your GHL API token, set the scope to contacts.readonly (and write if needed), and prepare your Zapier connection.
Define triggers and actions by mapping endpoints like GET /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts/, and POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks.
Run end-to-end tests, verify data flows for contacts, notes, tasks, and tags, then deploy.
The GHL Contacts API lets you read, create, update, and manage contacts, tasks, notes, appointments, and tags from GHL. It provides endpoints for retrieving data and performing actions, enabling powerful automations in Bambelo via the Zapier App Connector. You can build workflows that respond to new contacts, update fields, attach notes, and schedule tasks without writing server code.
Yes. You need a Zapier account to configure the App Connector and create Zaps that call the GHL API. If you already have access to GHL tokens, you can authenticate within Zapier and select the appropriate scopes.
Read permissions are provided by the contacts.readonly scope. For write operations, you will need the contacts.write permission. Use the token that matches your required actions.
The Bambelo integration exposes endpoints for fetching contacts, tasks, notes, appointments, and tags. See the endpoint list for details. You can combine these with triggers to automate workflows.
Authentication is performed via a bearer token included in the Authorization header. You can obtain the token from GHL developer settings and securely store it in Zapier.
Yes. You can auto-create tasks when a contact is created, or update notes and tags as events occur. Use Zapier triggers and actions to orchestrate.
If you encounter 401/403 errors, confirm the token scopes, check endpoint paths, and ensure the app connection is active. Verify the endpoint is accessible and the HTTP method matches.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
