Begin by securing access to the Contacts API endpoints using your GHL credentials and the BONZO Zapier App Connector. Ensure you have the correct scope: contacts.readonly for read operations and appropriate write permissions when updating or creating data.
In Zapier, connect the BONZO App Connector to your GHL account by providing API keys or OAuth tokens as required. Store credentials securely and rotate them on a schedule.
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’s data is requested to ensure your CRM and tools stay in sync.
Actions include retrieving the full contact record, including associated notes, tasks, and tags.
GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, email, firstName, lastName, phone, tags
Trigger when tasks for a contact are needed to drive task-based automations.
Actions include listing tasks, filtering by status, and returning task details.
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: taskId, contactId, title, status, dueDate
Trigger on retrieval of a single task to populate task-level automations.
Actions include fetching task details and updating status when needed.
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId
Key fields: taskId, contactId, title, status, dueDate
No-code setup lets you automate data flows without writing a line of code.
Rapid deployment means you can test and iterate in days, not weeks.
Centralized data and real-time sync between GHL and your apps.
Understand the core elements: endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, and data fields; and how they map to your BONZO workflows.
A person in your GHL Contacts module with a unique identifier and associated data.
A to-do item tied to a contact, used to track activities and deadlines.
A specific API route used to read or modify data in GHL via the API.
The process of proving identity to access GHL APIs and the BONZO App Connector integration.
Capture form submissions and push updated contact records to GHL, triggering follow-up tasks and notifications.
Automatically move overdue tasks from a contact into your project board and alert teammates.
Trigger onboarding automations when a new contact is created or when task status changes.
Connect your GHL account to BONZO via Zapier using OAuth or API keys and grant the necessary scopes.
Select the endpoints you need (for example, contacts and tasks) and map data fields to your app.
Run a test, enable the zap, and monitor results to ensure data integrity and uptime.
OAuth is supported for secure authentication. You can connect using OAuth credentials and grant the necessary scopes. If you prefer API key-based authentication, ensure the key has read access to the Contacts API. For added security, rotate credentials regularly and store them securely in your Zapier connection settings.
Yes. Endpoints include reading contacts and tasks, as well as creating or updating tasks. You can layer multiple actions in a single Zap. Make sure to map response fields to your app’s data model. If you need additional endpoints, you can extend the integration through BONZO’s app connector.
Yes—updates to a contact in BONZO can be pushed to GHL via the API. Ensure the fields exist and are writable in the GHL API scope. Use appropriate identifiers to match existing records. Test updates in a staging environment before going live.
Rate limits vary by plan and endpoint. Monitor the remaining quota in Zapier task history and implement exponential backoff for retry scenarios. For high-volume syncing, stagger requests and batch updates where supported.
Use field mappings to align BONZO data with GHL fields. Create a mapping document showing source field names and target API fields. Validate mappings with a test run before turning on automation.
Common errors include authentication failures, missing required fields, and exceeded rate limits. Check your connection settings, verify scopes, and review API response messages. Use logs in Zapier and GHL dashboards to troubleshoot.
Webhooks can be configured to trigger actions in BONZO when GHL data changes. Set up a webhook to notify BONZO of updates and use Zapier to chain automations.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
