To begin, register your application in GHL to obtain client credentials and grant access to the Contacts API from the Zapier App Connector.
In the Zapier App Connector, configure OAuth2 or API key settings as required by the Contacts API to enable secure data exchange.
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: when a contact is updated in Bigin by Zoho CRM, the change is sent to Zapier App Connector to keep systems in sync.
Action: Create or update the corresponding contact in Zapier App Connector, including mapped fields like name, email, and phone.
GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, email, name, phone
Trigger: new contacts in Bigin trigger a batch create or update in Zapier App Connector.
Actions: Upsert contacts in Zapier App Connector, apply tags and custom fields as needed.
POST /contacts/
Key fields: contactId, name, email
Trigger: updates to notes or tasks in Bigin trigger corresponding updates in Zapier App Connector.
Actions: Create or update notes and tasks in Zapier App Connector and bind them to their parent contact.
PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, PUT /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id
Key fields: contactId, taskId, noteId
Automate workflows without writing code, reducing manual data entry.
Accelerate onboarding and updates by syncing records in real time across systems.
Improve consistency with mapped fields, validation rules, and error handling between GHL and APPNAME.
This glossary covers API, endpoint, OAuth, field mapping, and webhook concepts used in the GHL Contacts API integration with APPNAME.
An Application Programming Interface that allows apps to request and exchange data.
A URL endpoint that receives real-time event notifications from another system.
OAuth is an open standard for access delegation, enabling apps to act on behalf of a user securely.
A specific URL in an API that performs a defined action.
Idea: trigger weekly deduplication in APPNAME and synchronize updated records.
Idea: create tasks in APPNAME when notes or events occur in GHL.
Idea: automatically push meeting notes to APPNAME for context.
Collect client ID, client secret, and set redirect URIs in GHL; configure OAuth in the App Connector.
Map contact fields like name, email, phone, and custom fields between GHL and APPNAME.
Run test requests and verify logs; set up monitoring and retries.
Yes—no coding needed is the point of Zapier App Connector. Use pre-built triggers and actions to connect GHL Contacts API with APPNAME. You can customize field mappings, test connections, and set up error handling rules without touching code.
The integration exposes endpoints for retrieving and updating contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments (see the Endpoints list). You can choose relevant endpoints and combine them in Zapier to build automated workflows.
Security is managed through OAuth or API keys; only scoped permissions are granted. Always use HTTPS, rotate credentials, and enable retries with exponential backoff.
Yes. You can sync notes, tasks, and contact updates across GHL and APPNAME. Map and trigger changes to keep both systems aligned and avoid duplicates.
Yes—use upsert behavior to create or update records in the target system. Carefully map unique identifiers (contactId) to prevent conflicts.
When a request fails, the App Connector can retry with backoff. Use built-in logging and error messages to diagnose and rerun failed steps.
Logs are available in your APPNAME dashboard and GHL integration logs. Consult the troubleshooting guide for common errors and recommended fixes.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
