Authenticate against GHL with the required scope contacts.readonly. Ensure your Zapier App Connector is authorized and your credentials are stored securely to protect customer data.
Authenticate Clearbit requests using a securely stored API key passed in request headers. Rotate keys regularly and keep them confidential.

Trigger: New contact created in GHL. Action: fetch Clearbit data using GET /contacts/:contactId and update the GHL contact fields.
Actions: Update fields like company, industry and social profiles; optionally create a follow up task.
GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, email
Trigger: Daily or hourly sync to refresh data from Clearbit
Actions: Iterate through GET /contacts/ results and enrich with Clearbit data; update records
GET /contacts/
Key fields: contactId, email
Trigger: Clearbit reports firmographic or technographic signals
Actions: Post tags via POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
Key fields: contactId, tags

Definitions for API Endpoint Trigger Action and Key Fields used in this guide
A specific URL path and HTTP method used to access a function in an API
An event that starts an automation such as a new or updated contact
An operation performed in response to a trigger such as updating a field or creating a task
Important identifiers used to locate and map records like contactId or email
As a new contact enters, fetch Clearbit data to autofill company industry and social profiles
Score leads using Clearbit signals and reflect the score in GHL fields
Group contacts by domain or firmographic attributes for targeted campaigns
Obtain your Clearbit API key and securely store it; authorize the GHL app to access Contacts data
Select endpoints such as GET /contacts/:contactId and GET /contacts/ to enrich data
Map Clearbit fields to GHL contact fields and run tests to verify data flow
Yes the connection uses standard API key authentication and secure transport. Keys should be kept confidential and rotated regularly. The GHL app connector handles authentication flowing to the Contacts API with a minimal permission scope to read data. For best practice enable logging and monitor access to keys. In addition a staging environment is recommended for initial testing before going live.
No heavy coding is required when using the Zapier App Connector within GHL. Triggers actions and field mappings can be configured through the UI. If you need custom behavior you can add webhooks or small scripts, but it is optional for most workflows.
Yes a robust list of endpoints is supported. Examples include getting a contact with GET /contacts/:contactId, listing contacts with GET /contacts/, and managing tasks notes and tags with endpoints such as POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks and POST /contacts/:contactId/tags. The page outlines all 17 endpoints available for this integration.
Absolutely. After enrichment you can apply tags to contacts using POST /contacts/:contactId/tags. This enables segmentation and targeted automation in your campaigns and workflows.
To test the connection start with a small test contact in a staging environment. Use the Zapier test actions or the UI to run enrichment flows and verify the mapped fields populate correctly. Check the logs for any errors and adjust mappings as needed.
Data latency depends on Clearbit response times and your network. In most cases enrichment happens within seconds and caching can further reduce repeat lookup times. Plan for occasional delays during high traffic periods.
Clearbit API keys are found in the Clearbit dashboard, while GHL settings for the app connector hold the authentication details for the Contacts API. Store both keys securely in your vault and rotate them regularly. Access is typically managed in the app settings of both platforms.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
