Run a test, verify data flows, then enable the Zap for automated workflows.
The Contacts API uses OAuth tokens for authentication and API keys for access. You’ll create a connection in your GHL account and grant the required scopes. Always store credentials securely and rotate tokens regularly. First, register your app and obtain client credentials, then authorize the connection in Zapier.
Endpoints include retrieving a contact, their tasks, notes, and appointments. You can also create and update contacts and tasks, and manage tags. Use the endpoints to build workflows that reflect your business processes.
In Zapier App Connector, choose Contacts API, then authorize the connection, and select the desired scope (readonly). Map the data fields you need and test the trigger/action to confirm data flow.
The scope is contacts.readonly for read access. If you need write capabilities, you may adjust scopes in your app settings and request additional permissions.
Yes. You can create and update contacts and tasks via the appropriate endpoints. Use POST to create, PUT to update, and DELETE to remove as needed. Ensure proper permissions and data validation.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan and API usage. Exceeding limits can pause requests; implement retries and backoff in your automations.
Use the test feature in Zapier App Connector to simulate real calls. Check responses, logs, and data mappings before going live.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
