Authenticate requests to the GHL Contacts API using your GHL API key or OAuth credentials. The available scope for this integration is contacts.readonly, so ensure your token includes the appropriate permissions.
Connect BrightHR to GHL by authorizing the BrightHR app within Zapier. This grants read access to contact data and related resources as defined by the integration scope.
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 on contact access or update to pull the contact’s details and associated tasks from GHL.
Create or update the BrightHR contact and attach related tasks from GHL.
GET /contacts/:contactId and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
contactId, email, fullName, taskId, taskStatus
Trigger on note or appointment creation/update in GHL to BrightHR.
Create/update notes in BrightHR; schedule/record appointments from GHL.
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes and GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments
noteId, appointmentId, noteContent, appointmentTime
Trigger when a new contact is created in BrightHR to push to GHL.
POST /contacts/ to create; PUT /contacts/:contactId to update; POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to assign tasks.
POST /contacts/; PUT /contacts/:contactId; POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
contactName, email, phone, businessId
Automate data flow between BrightHR and GHL without writing code, using Zapier as the orchestrator.
Keep contact records in sync in real time, reducing manual updates and duplicates.
Map sensitive fields securely and enforce least-privilege access to control data movement.
A quick glossary of elements and processes used in this integration: API endpoints, HTTP methods, authentication, triggers, actions, field mapping, and testing steps.
A specific URL path that performs a defined function on the server, such as GET /contacts/:contactId to retrieve a contact.
A standard protocol for authorizing access tokens to securely call APIs without sharing passwords.
A method for real-time data delivery where a server sends a payload to a configured URL when an event occurs.
Connecting fields between systems so data from one app fills the corresponding fields in another app.
Automatically create BrightHR contacts in GHL when new leads are added, with tasks assigned for follow-up.
Attach notes from BrightHR events to GHL appointments to provide context for teams.
Keep both systems in sync by pushing updates from GHL to BrightHR and vice versa.
Grab your GHL API key and ensure the scope includes contacts.readonly, plus prepare BrightHR credentials for Zapier.
Add BrightHR and GHL accounts in Zapier, authorize access, and enable the Contacts API connection.
Create a Zap, map GHL contact fields to BrightHR fields, enable test data, and run end-to-end tests.
No coding is required if you use Zapier to connect BrightHR with the GHL Contacts API. You can create Zaps that watch for events in BrightHR or GHL and trigger actions in the other app. The workflow editor guides you through mapping fields and testing steps.
The GHL Contacts API exposes endpoints to read, create, update, and delete contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments. Examples include GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId, etc.
Data transfers use OAuth tokens or API keys over HTTPS. Apply least-privilege scopes and rotate credentials regularly to keep data secure.
Yes. Depending on permissions, you can read and write various contact resources. In this setup, the example scope is readonly, but writable operations can be enabled by using the appropriate endpoints and scopes.
Authenticate to the GHL API by sending your API key or obtaining an OAuth token, then include the token in the Authorization header for each request.
Access to endpoints such as /contacts/:contactId requires proper permissions granted to both the GHL account and the connected BrightHR app, aligned with the requested scope.
Use Zapier’s test feature to simulate real data, verify field mappings, and confirm that data flows correctly between BrightHR and GHL before going live.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
