Authenticate against the Contacts API with the required scope (contacts.readonly). Use OAuth or API keys issued to your Zapier app and test the connection with sample requests.
In Zapier, configure the app’s credentials and OAuth flow so Zapier can securely access your GHL account and perform actions on contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments.

A URL path that exposes a specific operation on the GHL Contacts API.
GET, POST, PUT, DELETE — the action you perform on a resource.

The URL pattern used to access a resource in the API.
Import new or updated contacts from a spreadsheet and push changes to GHL automatically, including associated tasks.
Automatically mirror tasks and notes between GHL and your project management or note apps to keep teams aligned.
Start onboarding flows when a new contact is added, including tasks for follow-ups and reminders.
Register your app credentials, select the proper OAuth scope (contacts.readonly), and test the connection.
Authenticate against the GHL API in Zapier and run sample requests to verify access to contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments.
Create a Zap that fetches a contact and then creates related tasks, notes, or events.
The GHL Contacts API exposes endpoints to read and manipulate contact data, tasks, notes, and events. It enables building integrations without modifying your core systems. In Zapier, you connect using the app credentials and scopes. This lets you automate movement of data between GHL and other apps.
Authentication can be via OAuth 2.0 or API Key depending on your setup. In Zapier App Connector, configure the OAuth flow and request the appropriate scope: contacts.readonly. Test the connection by making a sample GET to /contacts/:contactId.
You have endpoints for getting a list of contacts, a specific contact, tasks, notes, appointments, and more. For create, update, and delete there are POST, PUT, DELETE variants. Review the endpoint list to map to your workflow.
Yes. You can create and update contacts and their tasks via POST and PUT endpoints. Use a Zap to chain actions such as creating a contact then adding tasks.
To link notes and appointments, use POST /contacts/:contactId/notes and GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments, and ensure note/appointment context includes the contactId.
No-code benefits include rapid automation and easy maintenance. However, complex data mappings may require careful field matching; test each trigger/action and handle errors gracefully.
