The Contacts API lets you read contact data including name email and phone. You can also retrieve related data such as tasks notes and appointments. Access is controlled by the scope you grant.
Write access is available for some endpoints but this page focuses on the read only scope. If needed you can enable write access by adjusting permissions in GHL and reauthorizing the app. Always follow security best practices.
Authenticate using your GHL API key or OAuth token as required by the integration. The Zapier App Connector will pass credentials securely and renew tokens when needed.
You can set up the connector with no code using the stated endpoints and scopes. Use trigger and action blocks to automate flows between GHL and your apps.
Webhooks are supported for real time updates in some configurations. Check your app settings for webhook availability and endpoints to subscribe.
To test the connection run a test action to fetch a sample contact and verify you can access related data such as tasks notes and appointments.
API endpoints are documented above. Rate limits vary by plan; consult your GHL account documentation for current quotas.
