Requests to the GHL Contacts API are authenticated with OAuth 2.0 access tokens issued to your application. Use your API key and secret to obtain tokens and refresh them as needed.
In Zapier authorize the Zapier App Connector to access your ClickSend SMS data in GHL and manage token renewal within the connector settings.
Key endpoints include: 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 when a new contact is created in your source system to create a contact in GHL and optionally create initial tasks using the POST /contacts endpoint and related task endpoints.
Actions include reading contact details, creating or updating contacts, attaching tasks, and writing notes using the specified endpoints.
POST /contacts to create a new contact; PUT /contacts/:contactId to update; POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to add tasks; GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to fetch tasks.
Key fields: contactId, businessId, firstName, lastName, email, phone, and taskId where applicable
Trigger on contact updates in GHL to push changes to Zapier via GET /contacts/:contactId
Actions: fetch contact, update contact, fetch tasks, update notes
PUT /contacts/:contactId to update; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId to modify tasks
Key fields: contactId, taskId
Trigger when a new CRM event occurs to create a task in GHL via POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Actions: create task, list tasks
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: contactId, taskId
No coding required to connect GHL and Zapier; build automations visually
Centralized data flow between ClickSend SMS and GHL Contacts API; real time sync
Rapid setup with prebuilt actions and triggers in Zapier
This section defines terms like API endpoints authentication triggers actions and data mapping
An interface that allows apps to communicate and exchange data
Authorization framework that enables secure access via tokens
A URL path that performs a specific operation in the API
A mechanism for receiving real time data updates from a service
When a form is submitted in your app, Zapier creates the contact in GHL and assigns initial tasks
Update contact fields and tasks in GHL when CRM data changes in your system
Bulk import contacts from a CSV and apply tags via endpoints
Authenticate with GHL and authorize Zapier App Connector to access your data
Configure triggers and actions in Zapier to map data to GHL endpoints
Test the workflow and enable the Zap to run automatically
Yes. This is a no code integration built in Zapier. You set up triggers and actions without writing code. You can test several scenarios and adjust mapping in the Zap editor.
The integration uses a broad set of endpoints for contacts such as getting, creating, updating and listing tasks and notes. You can customize which fields to sync and map them in Zapier.
Authentication uses OAuth 2.0 tokens and careful handling of API keys. Zapier stores tokens securely and refresh flows occur automatically.
Yes you can update contacts and related tasks and notes using PUT and POST endpoints. Mapping supports changes to fields as needed.
Data sync is near real time when triggers fire and tasks run. In practice updates propagate within seconds.
There are rate limits governed by your GHL plan and API usage. Zapier handles retries and backoff.
