To access data from the Contacts API, generate API credentials from your GHL developer settings and use them in the Zapier App Connector configuration. Depending on your setup, you may authenticate with API keys or OAuth 2.0.
In Zapier, connect the Zapier App Connector integration by selecting the appropriate authentication flow and granting access to your GHL account. The connection can be tested and re-authenticated at any time.

An integration between the Contacts API and Zapier App Connector lets you automate data flow between your CRM and apps. It uses REST endpoints to pull, push, and update contact records. With triggers and actions, you can automate tasks, notes, and appointments without writing code.
Commonly used endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId to read a contact, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to list tasks, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to create tasks, and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes to read notes. These endpoints cover core reading, task management, and notes operations that drive most automations.
Authentication uses API keys or OAuth 2.0. In Zapier App Connector, configure credentials from GHL and authorize the connection, then test access with a quick fetch. Always scope permissions to the minimum required for your automation to enhance security.
Yes. You can fetch a contact’s tasks and notes using GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, respectively. You can also retrieve appointments with GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments. This enables you to build powerful multi-step workflows that respond to updates in tasks, notes, or appointments.
Use POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to create tasks via the integration. Include required fields such as task title, due date, and status to kick off automation from Zapier. You can chain this with triggers to automatically create follow-up tasks when events occur in other apps.
Yes. No-code workflow builders in Zapier App Connector let you design automations using triggers and actions without writing code. Test, tweak, and deploy your automations with a few clicks to realize faster ROI.
