The Contacts API requires authorized access via OAuth 2.0 and API keys. Use the client credentials flow or a personal access token within your Zapier app, and request the scope: contacts.readonly to access read-only data during setup.
Zapier securely stores OAuth 2.0 credentials to connect to the GHL Contacts API. Configure the app’s auth section in Zapier, authorize the connection, and test with a sample request to confirm access.
Supported 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
Trigger: When a contact is created or updated in GHL.
Actions: Fetch the contact, pull tasks, notes, and attachments; map fields to Zapier actions in Econodata or your CRM.
Method path: GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields to sync: contactId, email, phone, firstName, lastName
Trigger: Task Updated or New for a Contact
Actions: Create or update tasks and notes in Econodata based on GHL task/note data.
Method path: GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields to sync: taskId, contactId, dueDate, status
Trigger: Core contact fields change
Actions: Update contact, apply/remove tags via POST /contacts/:contactId/tags, and adjust business associations.
Method path: PUT /contacts/:contactId and POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
Key fields to sync: contactId, tags, email, company
Automate CRM workflows without writing code using triggers and actions in Zapier.
Keep contact data synced across Econodata and your GHL workspace for consistency.
Launch faster with ready-made templates, filters, and paths to handle common CRM scenarios.
Key elements include API endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, data mapping, and error handling to ensure reliable data flow between GHL and Zapier.
A URL on the GHL API that retrieves or updates data, such as GET /contacts/:contactId.
The method by which apps prove identity to access the GHL API (OAuth 2.0, API keys).
An authorization framework used to grant limited access to resources without sharing passwords.
A callback mechanism that notifies apps about changes in GHL data.
When Econodata publishes a new contact or an update is detected, automatically create or update the corresponding contact in GHL. Map fields like email, name, and phone to keep your CRM current.
Bridge task assignments and notes between Econodata and GHL so teams see the latest context for each contact, with automatic updates on changes.
Automatically apply tags and business relationships in GHL when Econodata data changes, enabling targeted automations and reporting.
Register the GHL app in Zapier, obtain clientId and clientSecret, grant the scope ‘contacts.readonly’, and authorize the connection.
Add the endpoints from the list, map fields to your Zapier triggers and actions, and define the data schema for your workflows.
Create a Zap that triggers on new or updated contacts and performs actions in Econodata or your CRM, using the mapped fields.
Not at all. This is a no-code integration using Zapier App Connector. Use triggers and actions to connect Econodata and GHL without writing code. If you need more control, you can add filters and paths within Zapier to handle complex logic.
For basic sync, you typically need to access core contact data via GET /contacts/:contactId and update data via PUT /contacts/:contactId. Tags and related data can be managed with POST /contacts/:contactId/tags and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks for associated tasks.
OAuth 2.0 is used for secure authorization between GHL and Zapier. Zapier stores tokens securely and can refresh them automatically. API keys can be used for initial setup if supported, but OAuth 2.0 is the recommended method.
Yes. You can sync tasks and notes by connecting endpoints for tasks and notes (GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, and related endpoints) and mapping them to your Zapier actions.
GHL imposes rate limits and retries. Plan for backoff strategies in Zapier, and design your zaps to minimize frequent polling. If a limit is reached, retries with exponential backoff are recommended.
Use Zapier’s built-in Test and Sample fetch features. Create a test Zap, run a sample request against the endpoints, and verify that data maps correctly before activating automation.
All endpoints are documented in the tutorial. You can review GET /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId, and the related sub-resources for tasks, notes, and tags.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
