Automate influencer data capture and updates without writing code.
Keep influencer CRM records in sync in real time across platforms.
Leverage pre-built endpoints to speed up setup and maintenance.
A concise glossary of terms and core processes you’ll use when connecting GHL Contacts API with the Zapier App Connector.
A defined URL path on the GHL API that performs an action or returns data, e.g., GET /contacts/:contactId.
A credential used to authorize API requests, typically a Bearer token with scope like contacts.readonly.
A callback that notifies your app of events in GHL, enabling real-time automation.
An authorization framework used by many apps to obtain user consent and access tokens.
Capture influencer data from campaigns and automatically create or update Contacts in GHL via the API, then trigger follow-up actions in Zapier.
Create tasks in GHL for each influencer deadline and route updates to a Slack or email notification via Zapier.
Aggregate influencer metrics from GHL notes and tasks into a consolidated dashboard in your BI tool via Zapier.
Set up OAuth or API keys for both GHL and the Zapier App Connector, then grant permissions for contacts data.
Choose which endpoints to use (e.g., GET /contacts/:contactId and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks) and test with sample data.
Create Zaps that move influencer data through your funnel and verify end-to-end flows.
The Contacts API lets you access and manage contacts in GHL, including profiles, tasks, notes, and appointments. You can pull or push data to automate influencer outreach and CRM workflows. It supports standard RESTful operations like GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE.
Common endpoints for influencer workflows include retrieving a contact by ID, listing tasks and notes for a contact, and updating a contact’s details. These endpoints enable automated task management and CRM enrichment within your Zaps.
Data security is maintained by using OAuth or API tokens, scoped access, and encrypted transmission. Always follow best practices for secrets management and rotate credentials regularly.
No coding is required to connect the App Connector to the GHL Contacts API. Most work happens in the Zapier interface with pre-built actions and triggers.
You will need a GHL account with API access and a Zapier account to set up the App Connector. Generate an API token or OAuth credentials to authorize requests.
Test endpoints using the built-in test feature in Zapier or a Postman collection. Validate data mapping and trigger paths with sample influencer data before going live.
Yes—use Zapier templates, sample zaps, and the provided endpoint references to accelerate setup and get started quickly.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
