Obtain an API key or OAuth token with the necessary scopes (read or write) and securely store credentials. Use the scope: contacts.readonly for read operations and contacts.write for modifications.
Configure OAuth 2.0 or API token for the app connector to securely access GHL and your target app.

Trigger: when a contact is created or updated in GHL, push to your app in real time.
Actions: create or update the contact in the app, attach related tasks.
Methods: GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch, POST /contacts/ to create, PUT /contacts/:contactId to update.
Key fields: contactId, email, name, phone, tags
Trigger: creation of a new task or note in GHL
Actions: create task in app, link notes, update status
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: taskId, taskName, dueDate, status
Trigger: bulk updates or deletions
Actions: bulk create, update, delete of contacts and related data
GET /contacts/, GET /contacts/business/:businessId, PUT /contacts/:contactId, DELETE /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, businessId, name
Fast setup with drag-and-drop automation
Consistent data across GHL and the connected app
Extensive API coverage across endpoints to support scalable workflows
This glossary covers endpoints, triggers, actions, and data fields used in the GHL to Zapier integration.
A defined URL path that performs a specific operation on data via HTTP methods.
An open standard for authorizing access without sharing credentials.
A callback mechanism that notifies apps about events as they happen.
The process of verifying identity and granting access to resources.
Automatically create a new contact and assign onboarding tasks when a signup occurs.
Route support form submissions to GHL as tasks or notes and notify teams.
Trigger reminders or tasks when a subscription changes.
Obtain API keys, set scopes, and test the connection.
Map GHL fields to app fields and configure triggers for new or updated contacts.
Create actions, test end-to-end, and activate the workflow.
You can authenticate using OAuth2 or API keys depending on your setup. Ensure the app has the necessary scopes (e.g., contacts.readonly and contacts.write) to access and modify data. Use secure storage for credentials.
Common endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/, POST /contacts/, and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks for task syncing. Use GET /contacts/:contactId/notes to pull notes, and PUT /contacts/:contactId to update.
Yes, write operations are supported when your API credentials include the appropriate scopes. Use POST, PUT, and DELETE endpoints to manage contacts, tasks, and notes.
No coding is required. The Zapier App Connector handles authentication, mapping, and workflow logic, enabling point-and-click automation.
Leverage built-in retries and exponential backoff in Zapier and monitor error messages. Log and alert on failures to ensure data integrity.
The real-time sync typically covers essential fields like contactId, name, email, phone, and status. Custom fields can be mapped as needed.
API rate limits vary by endpoint and GHL plan. For critical workflows, implement batching or staggered calls and use webhooks for event-driven updates.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
