Authenticate your requests to the Contacts API using OAuth 2.0 tokens (Bearer) or API keys as configured in your GHL developer app, then pass tokens in the Authorization header.
Authenticate the Zapier App Connector to access the Contacts API by registering the app and using OAuth tokens or API keys as defined in your app settings.

Build integrations quickly with no custom code required.
Keep data in sync across GHL and your tools using prebuilt triggers and actions.
Easily test and deploy automations with Zapier’s workflow editor.
This section defines core data elements (contacts, tasks, notes, appointments) and the processes used to connect them via the API and Zapier.
A person stored in your GHL Contacts who can have activities like tasks, notes, and appointments linked to them.
An action item linked to a contact, with status and due date.
A free-text entry attached to a contact for context or history.
Scheduled meeting or call associated with a contact.
When a new contact is added in GHL, automatically create a starter task in their record via Zapier.
Push contact notes to your team’s wiki or Notes app for quick reference.
Create calendar events from contact appointments to keep everyone on schedule.
Obtain OAuth tokens and connect GHL to the Zapier App Connector.
Choose endpoints and map fields to your zap workflow.
Run test zaps and monitor performance before going live.
You can automate common CRM tasks by connecting GHL Contacts API with Zapier: create, update, or fetch contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments. Set up triggers to start workflows when data changes and use actions to push data into your favorite tools. No coding is required to get started.
Supported endpoints cover core objects: contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments. The list includes retrieving and mutating contacts, listing tasks and notes, and creating or updating records as needed. If you need more, you can build a custom flow using multiple steps in a Zap.
No-code is sufficient for most automations. Zapier provides adapters to connect GHL endpoints without writing code. For advanced needs, you can add a small script in a Zap or use Webhooks.
Authentication is handled by OAuth 2.0 or API keys configured in your app settings. In your Zap, you will authenticate once to access multiple endpoints, then pass the credentials securely.
Yes. You can update a contact, create tasks, or modify notes and appointments using the corresponding endpoints within a Zap. Map fields from your trigger to the target fields.
Test the connection using Zapier’s built-in test feature. Run a test Zap to see that data flows correctly and troubleshoot with error messages if needed.
API rate limits are determined by your GHL plan and the Contacts API usage. Plan for retries and exponential backoff in your Zap to handle limits gracefully.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
