Authenticate Digest by Zapier to access your GHL Contacts API using OAuth 2.0 with read-only access. You’ll grant permissions for reading contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments.
During the OAuth flow, Digest by Zapier requests your permission to read your GHL data. Set up security and token management in Zapier.
Common endpoints include: 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; Permissions: contacts.write
Trigger on contact creation or update in GHL to refresh Digest by Zapier.
Actions include fetching contact details and pulling associated tasks, notes, and appointments into Zapier.
GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: id, email, name
Trigger on new or updated tasks for a contact to trigger downstream automations in Digest by Zapier.
Actions include creating and updating tasks, retrieving task status and due dates.
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: taskId, contactId, status
Trigger on new notes or new appointments.
Actions: create/update notes and appointments.
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
Key fields: noteId, contactId, date
No-code automation to streamline data flow between GHL and Digest; build complex workflows with clicks, not code.
Centralized data for better segmentation and outreach; reduce manual data entry.
Scalable collaboration for teams with reusable zaps and shared templates.
Elements: Contacts, Tasks, Notes, Appointments, Tags; Processes: authentication, endpoint access, data mapping, rate limits.
A person in your CRM with basic identifiers like name, email, and phone.
A to-do item linked to a contact, with status and due date.
A free-form text entry attached to a contact to capture history or context.
A scheduled meeting linked to a contact, with time and location.
Trigger when a new contact is created in GHL; automatically create a welcome task and assemble a digest.
Regularly fetch tasks and push overdue status to Slack or email digest.
Aggregate notes from multiple contacts into a single digest for quick review.
Begin OAuth flow in Zapier and grant Digest access to your GHL data.
Select endpoint scopes (read-only) and map fields to your Digest templates.
Run tests, confirm data flows, and enable automations across apps.
Digest by Zapier uses OAuth 2.0 to securely access your GHL Contacts API with read-only scope. It only reads data unless you grant additional permissions. You control which contacts are accessible and how often data is synced via Zaps and schedules.
Some endpoints, like POST, PUT, and DELETE, require write permissions (not included in the read-only scope). If you need write access, you can request it through an updated scope for your app connection.
To authenticate, start in Zapier’s app directory, select the Digest by Zapier integration, and complete the OAuth 2.0 flow to authorize GHL access. Store your tokens securely; Zapier will refresh tokens as needed when making API calls.
Some commonly used endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes. Others include GET /contacts/ and GET /contacts/business/:businessId, as well as task and note endpoints.
Yes. You can fetch tasks and notes for a contact via dedicated endpoints like /contacts/:contactId/tasks and /contacts/:contactId/notes. Use triggers for new or updated items to automate updates across systems.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan and Zapier tier; typical practice is to stagger calls and cache responses. If you hit limits, implement backoff strategies and reduce polling frequency in your Zap.
Create a Zap with a GHL trigger (e.g., contact updated) and an action to Digest; map fields accordingly. Test the workflow and enable it. You can also add filters to control when the automation runs.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
