Use OAuth 2.0 to authorize access to the GHL Contacts API from the Zapier App Connector. Start by creating a new app in your GHL developer settings and configure OAuth credentials in Zapier.
Set up OAuth in Zapier to securely exchange tokens with the GHL API and ensure your app can read and update contact data.
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 on contact creation or update to keep your app in sync with GHL.
Actions include retrieving full contact data, updating photos, and syncing related notes or tasks.
GET /contacts/:contactId
contactId, email, photoUrl
Trigger when a new task is created for a contact.
Actions: create tasks, update task status, attach notes.
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
contactId, taskId, subject
Trigger when a note is added to a contact.
Actions: fetch notes, create notes, link notes to contacts or tasks.
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
contactId, noteId
Seamless data sync without writing code using the Zapier App Connector.
Automated workflows that update contacts across tools like notes and photos.
Rapid testing and iteration with real-time endpoints and mappings.
This guide highlights core elements for connecting the GHL Contacts API to APPNAME, including endpoints, authentication, and workflow design.
A defined set of rules that allows apps to communicate with the GHL service.
A mechanism for GHL to push events to your app in real time.
A secure protocol to authorize access without sharing credentials.
A specific path in the API to perform an action.
When a contact photo updates, automatically propagate the change to GHL and connected apps via Zapier.
Push contact notes to a team channel and generate follow up tasks from notes.
Log changes in a Google Sheet for governance and auditing purposes.
Obtain OAuth tokens and configure in Zapier.
Select the GHL Contacts API in Zapier and authorize.
Run tests, verify data mapping, and deploy.
No code is required. The Zapier App Connector acts as the bridge between GHL and your app. You configure triggers and actions in Zapier and map fields from the GHL API. The setup guides you through OAuth and endpoint configuration.
The main endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch a contact, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes for notes, and POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to create tasks. You can also fetch tasks and notes to build a complete change photos workflow.
Test by running a dry run in Zapier. Use sample data, verify field mappings, and check the logs for any errors before going live.
OAuth tokens are exchanged during setup. Your app will store a refresh token to maintain access without re-authentication.
Yes. You can pull notes with GET /contacts/:contactId/notes and attach them to tasks or exports.
Yes. You can create tasks with POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks and update them with PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId
Logs are accessible in Zapier task history and in your GHL account audit logs depending on setup.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
