Connect to your GHL account using OAuth 2.0 to obtain an access token, then include the token in API requests. Treat credentials as secure and rotate tokens regularly.
In Zapier, configure OAuth 2.0 or API key-based authentication as supported by the Zapier App Connector. Follow the wizard to securely store credentials.
– 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 Zapier workflows whenever a contact is added or updated in GHL and pull the latest details using GET /contacts/:contactId.
Actions can include creating or updating CRM records, triggering tasks, or updating notes in Zapier.
GET /contacts/:contactId
contactId, name, email, phone, lastModified
Poll for changes in a contact’s tasks or notes and reflect updates in Zapier.
Create, update, or link tasks and notes from Zapier to the contact in GHL.
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
taskId, subject, status, dueDate; notes id, content
Schedule daily or weekly pulls of the contact list for dashboards and reports.
Push to spreadsheets, BI tools, or CRM dashboards from Zapier.
GET /contacts/
contactId, name, email, status, createdAt
Automate contact workflows without writing code using pre-built Zapier templates.
Achieve near real-time data sync across apps with simple triggers and actions.
Rapid experimentation and iteration with no development cycles.
This glossary defines endpoints, authentication methods, data fields, and common process flows used when connecting GHL with the Zapier App Connector.
A specific URL path and HTTP method used to interact with the GHL API.
A mechanism to retrieve large datasets in smaller, manageable chunks.
The process of proving identity to access the API and receive an access token.
Constraints on how many requests you can make in a given time period.
Fetch new contacts after signup and automatically add them to your CRM and onboarding sequences.
Create tasks in GHL from specific Zapier triggers to keep teams aligned.
Sync notes and appointments to your team chat or calendar for context.
Obtain an access token via OAuth 2.0 and securely store it in Zapier.
Choose endpoints like GET /contacts and GET /contacts/:contactId to pull data.
Create triggers and actions to automate workflows between GHL and your apps.
No coding is required to connect the GHL Contacts API with the Zapier App Connector. The Zapier setup walks you through authentication, endpoints, and mapping fields. You can create powerful automations with a visual editor without touching code. In addition, Zapier provides built-in testing tools to validate your connections and data flows before you activate them.
The Contacts API exposes core contact data (name, email, phone, status) and related resources like tasks, notes, and appointments. You can read contact details, list tasks, fetch notes, and pull calendar entries as part of your automations. If you have business-level data (businessId), you can filter or segment results using the available endpoints.
Yes. Zapier can create, update, or delete contacts using endpoints like POST /contacts/ and PUT /contacts/:contactId. It can also manage tasks and tags associated with a contact. Use careful field mapping and test to avoid unwanted changes.
Absolutely. You can create tasks with POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks and update task status with PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed. Notes and appointments can also be associated with a contact via corresponding endpoints. Always test changes in a staging Zap to prevent accidental data loss.
Authentication is typically handled via OAuth 2.0, where Zapier exchanges credentials for access tokens. Store tokens securely in Zapier and rotate them per policy. If using API keys, keep them secret and scope them to the needed endpoints.
Yes. API providers enforce rate limits. Plan your polling frequency and use batching where possible. If you hit limits, implement exponential backoff and caching to minimize calls.
Official endpoint documentation can be found in the GHL developer portal or the API section of your GHL account. Look for the GUIDED docs that detail available endpoints, authentication methods, and example requests.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
