Securely authenticate API requests to the GHL Contacts API using your API credentials and standard OAuth or API key methods supported by GHL.
Connect APPNAME to Zapier by granting the required permissions so Zapier can trigger actions and read or write data.
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; 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: A new or updated contact in APPNAME instantly updates or creates the corresponding contact in GHL via POST /contacts/ and PUT /contacts/:contactId.
Actions: Create or update contacts, then optionally create tasks or log notes using the related endpoints.
Method paths: POST /contacts/ for creation; PUT /contacts/:contactId for updates; GET /contacts/:contactId to verify.
Key fields: email, firstName, lastName, phone.
Trigger: Delay a follow-up action, then create or update a task with POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks.
Actions: Create tasks, update statuses, and attach notes as needed.
Method paths: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed.
Key fields: contactId, taskId, status.
Trigger: Schedule periodic fetches of contacts and related notes or tasks to keep APPNAME in sync.
Actions: Retrieve lists with GET /contacts/ and related sub-resources, then update APPNAME records.
Method paths: GET /contacts/; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks.
Key fields: contactId, id, businessId.
Build powerful automations without writing code; use pre-built actions to move data between APPNAME and GHL.
Eliminate manual data entry and streamline workflows across apps.
Control timing with delays to respect API rate limits and ensure reliable updates.
Understand the core elements: endpoints, triggers, actions, delays, and authentication, plus how to map fields between APPNAME and GHL.
A set of rules and endpoints that allow apps to talk to each other securely.
An event in APPNAME or GHL that starts a Zap or workflow.
A specific URL in an API used to perform an action, such as retrieving a contact.
The process of proving identity to allow access to the API.
Automatically create or update GHL contacts when a form is submitted in APPNAME, then follow up with delayed tasks.
Use Delay by Zapier to space out follow-ups and ensure timely engagement in GHL.
Periodically pull and reconcile contact data between APPNAME and GHL to maintain consistency.
Obtain API keys and authorize the connection between APPNAME and GHL.
Choose a trigger in APPNAME to start the Delay by Zapier workflow.
Map APPNAME data to GHL fields and run a test to confirm accuracy.
Delay by Zapier acts as a lightweight bridge to stagger actions between APPNAME and the GHL Contacts API, helping you manage timing, retries, and data synchronization. It requires no custom coding.
Common endpoints include retrieving and updating contacts, tasks, notes, and tags. Use a combination of GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE calls to keep records aligned.
Authenticate APPNAME and GHL by securely providing API credentials to Zapier and selecting the appropriate access scopes for read or write operations.
Yes. Delay by Zapier can introduce scheduled pauses between actions, ensuring you respect rate limits and have time for data propagation.
Map fields with consistent data types, use unique identifiers like email, and validate data before sending to GHL to reduce errors.
Test the workflow with small batches, review Zapier task history, and adjust mappings or delays as needed.
Consult the GHL API documentation, Zapier help articles, and community forums for deeper guidance.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
