This glossary covers common terms and the core elements involved in connecting GHL APIs with the Zapier App Connector.
A person or company record in GHL that represents a customer or lead.
A URL path in the API that performs a specific operation, such as retrieving a contact.
A credential used to authenticate API requests to GHL.
A status flag indicating a task has been finished.
Automatically pull contact data from multiple sources and update GHL notes to keep records fresh.
Create tasks and reminders when new contacts are added or when data changes.
Route contacts into different automations based on tags or business criteria.
Connect APPNAME to GHL by providing credentials and selecting required scopes.
Choose endpoints such as GET /contacts/:contactId and POST /contacts/ to include in your Zapier workflows.
Run test triggers, verify data, and deploy to your workspace.
The Contacts API lets you read and manage contact data, including tasks, notes, and appointments. It is designed to support automation flows created in the Zapier App Connector. Use the endpoints to fetch, update, create, or delete records as needed.
Authentication is done using your GHL API key or OAuth with the Zapier App Connector. In your GHL account, generate an API key and grant the Zapier app the appropriate scopes. In Zapier, paste the key and authorize access to your GHL data.
Supported endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/, POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId, DELETE /contacts/:contactId, and related sub-resources like tasks, notes, and appointments. These endpoints enable read and write operations for standard CRM workflows.
Yes. You can create tasks via POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks and associate them with a contact. You can also create or update notes and other records through the Zapier app.
There are rate limits on API requests. Exceeding limits will return error responses; plan your flows to stay within quota and consider batch operations when possible.
Yes. You can fetch notes for a contact using GET /contacts/:contactId/notes. You can retrieve individual notes with GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id.
Test your connection directly in Zapier using the built-in test feature or by making requests to the endpoints with sample data. Review responses to ensure correctness before deploying.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
