To access the Contacts API, obtain OAuth credentials with the scope set to services: contacts.readonly, and securely manage your access token for all API calls.
Configure the Zapier App Connector to securely store and rotate OAuth tokens for the GHL Contacts API, then test permissions before going live.

Trigger: when a contact is created or updated, enabling downstream workflows.
Actions: create or update a contact; fetch or assign tasks; attach notes to the contact.
GET /contacts/:contactId
contactId, name, email, phone, tasks, notes
Trigger: new or updated tasks for a contact.
Actions: create/update a task; mark as completed; link task to contact.
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
contactId, taskId, title, status, dueDate
Trigger: new or updated notes for a contact.
Actions: add/update a note; fetch notes; correlate with contact history.
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
contactId, noteId, content, createdAt
Speed up data flows by connecting the Contacts API to Zapier App Connector without writing code.
Keep data synchronized across CRM, task managers, and note apps with event-driven triggers.
No-code setup lets product teams prototype and scale automations quickly.
This section defines core data elements and processes: contacts, tasks, notes, endpoints, and the call patterns used to access them.
A person in your CRM who may have associated tasks, notes, and appointments.
A to-do item linked to a contact that can be created, updated, or completed.
A piece of information attached to a contact, such as a message or update.
A URL path used to access a resource via the API.
Capture signups and auto-create contacts with tasks and notes in one Zap.
When a contact changes, propagate updates to connected apps to keep teams aligned.
Append notes after form submissions or events to enrich contact history.
Create a new Zap, choose Zapier App Connector as the app, and authorize access to Contacts API.
Select triggers like contact updated, and map actions such as create/update contact or tasks.
Run tests, verify field mappings, and deploy the automation to production.
The endpoints cover retrieving a single contact, its tasks, notes, and related data. You can also query multiple contacts and their attachments. Use GET requests to read data and ensure your OAuth token has the correct scope. If you need to write data, use POST, PUT, or DELETE where supported.
Permissions depend on your OAuth grant. For read operations, use a scope like contacts.readonly. For write operations, include appropriate scopes such as contacts.write. Ensure your app permissions align with the actions you intend to perform.
Yes. The Zapier App Connector can create, update, or delete resources in the Contacts API via POST, PUT, and DELETE calls. Map fields carefully to ensure data integrity across apps.
Authentication typically uses OAuth. Configure the Zapier app to request the necessary scopes and securely store tokens. Test connectivity in the app dashboard before going live.
Rate limits depend on the GHL API plan. Plan automation bursts and batch requests where possible. Implement retries with exponential backoff to ensure resilience.
Use test mode in the Zapier editor, or call endpoints directly with your tokens to validate responses. Validate schema mappings and data formats during tests.
We provide starter mappings and templates. Review the example workflows in our docs to accelerate implementing common integrations.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
