Authenticate securely with the GHL Contacts API using OAuth tokens provisioned through the Zapier App Connector. Ensure your scopes include contacts.readonly for viewing data and the necessary write scopes for updates and creations.
The Zapier App Connector handles token storage and refreshes behind the scenes. Connectors will prompt you to authorize Bullhorn and GHL access, then automatically manage session tokens for seamless automation.
– 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: New or updated contact in GHL is detected and pushed to Bullhorn as a contact record.
Actions: Create or update a Bullhorn contact; optionally attach initial tasks, notes, or tags based on the GHL data.
Method paths include POST /contacts/ to create and PUT /contacts/:contactId to update in Bullhorn, triggered from GHL contact events.
Key fields: contactId, businessId, name, email, phone
Trigger: Task changes in either system should reflect in the other.
Actions: Create, update, or delete tasks; map endpoints: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId.
Utilize the task endpoints to keep Bullhorn and GHL in sync for each contact.
taskId, contactId, status, dueDate
Trigger: Notes or appointments are added/updated for a contact.
Actions: Create notes, fetch notes, schedule appointments; endpoints: GET /contacts/:contactId/notes and GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments.
Routed through the notes and appointments endpoints to keep all contact history aligned.
noteId, appointmentId, contactId
Eliminate manual data entry with automated CRUD operations between Bullhorn and GHL, all without writing a line of code.
Create cohesive workflows that trigger on contact changes, streamlining follow-ups, tasks, and notes.
Scale processes quickly with reusable templates and a visual workflow builder.
This glossary covers core data elements (contacts, tasks, notes, appointments) and the processes used to move data between GHL and Bullhorn via the App Connector.
A person in Bullhorn CRM; mirrored in GHL for automation and workflow triggering.
An action item or reminder linked to a specific contact.
A data entry attached to a contact to capture details or context.
Scheduled meeting or call linked to a contact within the CRM workflow.
Pull additional data from Bullhorn to enrich GHL contact fields in real-time for richer automation.
Cross-reference Bullhorn data to route new leads to the correct owner automatically.
Prebuilt templates for common Bullhorn-GHL workflows to accelerate deployment.
Authorize Bullhorn and GHL in Zapier as connected apps and select the appropriate permissions.
Choose New or Updated Contact, Task, Note, or Appointment as triggers for your workflows.
Map fields and choose actions like Create/Update, attach notes, or schedule appointments.
The integration supports OAuth-based authentication via the Zapier App Connector for secure access to Bullhorn and GHL data. Tokens are refreshed automatically, so you can focus on building your workflows. For advanced users, there are options to use API keys in addition to OAuth depending on your security policies. Always ensure your scopes include read and write permissions appropriate to your use case. In addition, you can rotate credentials on a regular schedule and monitor activity from the Zapier dashboard to maintain security and compliance.
Endpoints include retrieving contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments, as well as creating and updating records. You can review GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, and similar endpoints to read data. For writes, use POST /contacts/ to create contacts, PUT /contacts/:contactId to update, and POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to create tasks. A complete list lives in the Endpoints section of the app connector.
No extensive coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides a no-code interface to map fields, set triggers, and define actions between GHL and Bullhorn. For complex logic, you can still customize steps with conditional paths and multi-step workflows using Zapier’s built-in features.
Rate limits are governed by the Bullhorn API and the GHL integration. Zapier will queue and retry requests according to standard retry guidelines. If you anticipate high-volume usage, consider batching requests and staggering workflows to avoid hitting limits.
Yes. You can sync notes and appointments by using triggers on note or appointment changes and corresponding actions to create or update records in the other system. This ensures activity history stays aligned across platforms.
Use the Connect/Test feature in the Zapier App Connector to verify authentication and field mappings. You can run a test workflow to simulate data flow and confirm that records are created, updated, and linked correctly.
Endpoint documentation is available within the Zapier App Connector’s help section and the Bullhorn API docs. You can also consult the Endpoints list in the Bullhorn connections template for quick reference to each available operation.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
