Access to the Contacts API requires a secure token. Use OAuth 2.0 with read-only scope for contact data, and reserve additional permissions only as needed.
Connect the Zapier App Connector using its standard OAuth flow or API key method to securely authorize actions between GHL and your apps.
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 contact is created or updated in GHL, push changes to connected apps.
Actions: create or update a contact in CRMs, update notes, and attach related tasks.
GET /contacts/:contactId
contactId, firstName, lastName, email, phone, company
Trigger: a new task is created for a contact in GHL
Actions: create or update tasks in task management apps and mark completion
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
taskId, title, dueDate, status
Trigger: notes or appointments are created or updated for a contact
Actions: log notes, schedule appointments, and update the dispute timeline
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
noteId, content, createdAt; appointmentId, date, time

Quick definitions of endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, and data fields used in the Contacts API integration with the Zapier App Connector.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to access a resource in an API.
The process of proving identity to access a secure API (e.g., OAuth 2.0 or API keys).
A URL that receives real-time data pushed from an API when events occur.
A cap on how many API requests you can make in a given minute or hour.
Automatically push dispute status changes to connected apps to keep everyone aligned.
Create tasks in your project management tool when a dispute is opened or updated.
Generate summaries of activity and send them to your team via email or chat.
Connect your GHL account and authorize Contacts read permissions.
Choose endpoints like GET /contacts/:contactId and POST /contacts to sync data.
Create triggers for contact changes and map actions to connected apps.
The Contacts API integration enables automated data sharing between GHL and connected apps. It lets you pull contact data, attach notes and tasks, and drive dispute workflows from a single source of truth. Use the Zapier App Connector to orchestrate these actions without custom code. With the right scopes and endpoint mappings, you can build powerful, reliable automation that saves time and reduces errors.
No traditional coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides a visual interface to authenticate, map fields, and configure triggers and actions. For advanced cases, you can fall back to lightweight scripting if your plan supports it, but most setups are point-and-click.
End-point selection should cover contact retrieval (GET /contacts/:contactId), task management (POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks), notes (GET /contacts/:contactId/notes), and appointments (GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments). Ensure you map essential fields like contactId, email, and status.
Security is handled via OAuth tokens or API keys, with scopes restricted to maintaining least privilege. Use secure storage for credentials and test in a sandbox environment before enabling live workflows.
Yes. Most integrations support mapping custom fields by creating corresponding fields in the target app and including them in the field mapping step of the Zapier App Connector.
Test by running sample triggers and reviewing logs. Use a staging environment to verify data mapping, reaction times, and error handling before going live.
API rate limits vary by plan. Check your GHL account for current quotas and implement backoffs and batching to stay within limits.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
