Use OAuth 2.0 and API keys to securely authorize your app’s access to Contacts API within Zapier App Connector.
Configure your Zapier App Connector to securely store and exchange tokens, then call GHL endpoints on behalf of users.

Trigger: New or updated contact, then pull related tasks
Actions: Retrieve contact data, list tasks, and summarize status
GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, taskId, status
Trigger: Updated notes on a contact
Actions: Get notes and fetch upcoming appointments
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
Key fields: contactId, id
Trigger: Tags changed on a contact
Actions: Add or remove tags, update business context
POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
Key fields: contactId, tags
Rapid integration between Contacts API and Zapier App Connector without writing code.
Automate data flows: contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments stay in sync.
Secure, scalable connections with OAuth, API keys, and token management.
Core elements include endpoints, triggers, actions, and data fields used to connect GHL to your app.
A set of rules that allows your app to interact with GHL data and operations.
A specific URL that performs a defined operation in the API.
Verification and permission process to securely access API resources.
A callback URL that triggers events in real time (not required for basic REST calls).
Use GET contact and related tasks to create onboarding sequences in Zapier.
Attach contact notes to timelines automatically and generate summaries.
Route contacts into different workflows based on tags and business context.
Obtain OAuth tokens and configure app integration in Zapier.
Choose triggers like new contact or updated contact to start automations.
Map fields to endpoints and configure actions to run tasks and notes.
The Contacts API exposes endpoints to read contacts, notes, tasks, and appointments. Use these endpoints to pull data into Zapier and drive automations. Start with a simple GET to fetch a contact, then expand to related resources like tasks and notes to enrich your workflows.
Authentication uses OAuth 2.0 combined with API keys for secure calls. In Zapier, configure an app connection, exchange tokens, and store them securely. Include scopes like contacts.readonly to limit access to read-only data when appropriate.
Yes. You can create and update contacts via POST and PUT endpoints, manage tasks with related endpoints, and attach notes. Ensure your app has the necessary write permissions and handles 200/201 responses gracefully.
Tagging is supported via the POST /contacts/:contactId/tags endpoint and notes are accessible via GET /contacts/:contactId/notes. Use these to organize and segment data in automations.
The contacts.readonly scope permits read access to contact records, notes, appointments, and related resources. For changes, use endpoints that require write permissions and proper authentication.
Webhooks provide real-time event notifications. If needed, you can configure callback URLs to receive updates when a contact is created, updated, or has related changes.
Consult the integration guide for endpoints, authentication steps, and best practices. Test thoroughly in a sandbox environment before enabling live automations.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
