To access the GHL Contacts API, obtain an API key or OAuth token with at least the read-only scope (contacts.readonly). In the GHL developer portal, generate or refresh your token and include it in the Authorization header as Bearer
Configure the EasyBroker side with API credentials and ensure the connector has permission to access contact data. Use your EasyBroker client credentials to obtain a token and securely pass it to the Zapier App Connector when calling the GHL Contacts API.
Key endpoints you can use: 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. These endpoints cover reading, creating, updating, and deleting contacts, tasks, notes, and related items; the write permission is controlled by the scope and your app’s credentials.
Trigger: When a contact is created or updated in EasyBroker, pull the latest details into GHL for a unified record.
Actions: Upsert the contact in GHL, update core fields (name, email, phone), and attach related notes or tasks as needed.
GET /contacts/:contactId
id, name, email, phone, businessId
Trigger: Periodic bulk sync to refresh contact summaries for campaigns.
Actions: Upsert multiple contacts in GHL, summarize activity, and sync basic relationships.
GET /contacts/
id, name, email, phone
Trigger: When a business in EasyBroker is updated, refresh the related contact list in GHL.
Actions: Associate contacts with a businessId in GHL and propagate relevant notes and tasks.
GET /contacts/business/:businessId
id, businessId, name, contactId
Centralized contact data eliminates manual data entry and reduces duplication across systems.
Automated syncing of tasks, notes, and appointments keeps records up to date in both platforms.
No-code setup via Zapier App Connector enables quick value without writing code.
This glossary covers endpoints, authentication methods, triggers, actions, and data fields used to sync contacts between GHL and EasyBroker.
GHL API: The programmable interface that lets you read and update contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments within the GHL platform.
APPNAME: EasyBroker, the app you connect to GHL via the Contacts API integration.
Endpoint: A specific API route, such as GET /contacts/:contactId, used to access data.
OAuth: A standard authorization framework used to securely obtain access tokens for API requests.
Trigger a Zapier workflow when a new contact is added in EasyBroker, creating a tailored outreach task in GHL with reminders and follow-ups.
Group contacts by businessId and push summaries to GHL lists for targeted campaigns and analytics.
Maintain an activity log by syncing notes and tasks between EasyBroker and GHL to track changes over time.
Generate API keys or OAuth tokens for both GHL and EasyBroker, ensuring the GHL scope includes contacts.readonly. Store tokens securely in the Zapier Connector.
Map essential fields between EasyBroker and GHL (name, email, phone, businessId) and specify the endpoints you will call (GET /contacts, GET /contacts/:contactId, etc.).
Run test syncs, verify data integrity, set up error notifications, and monitor ongoing runs to ensure reliability.
No-code setup is possible using the Zapier App Connector. You can configure triggers, actions, and field mappings entirely through the UI. For advanced needs, you may adjust settings in the connector or consult the docs. Two things to keep in mind: ensure tokens are valid and keep mapping consistent across both systems.
You can sync core contact data (name, email, phone), plus related items such as tasks, notes, appointments, and business associations. Depending on your plan and scopes, you can also synchronize custom fields and tags to enrich your CRM.
Syncs can run near real-time if webhooks are supported, or on a scheduled cadence via Zapier. Choose the frequency that matches your workflow and monitor for delays or failures.
The GHL side requires at least the contacts.readonly scope. If you need write capabilities, you would use contacts.write where permitted. Always follow security best practices for token storage and access control.
Common issues include expired tokens, misconfigured endpoints, or rate limits. Check token validity, confirm endpoint paths, review the field mappings, and inspect the task logs in Zapier. Enable alerts for failures to respond quickly.
API call limits depend on your GHL and EasyBroker plans. If you hit limits, throttle requests or adjust the sync frequency. Review your quota in the connected app dashboard and optimize field mappings to reduce unnecessary calls.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
