To authorize access, configure the Contacts API in the Zapier App Connector with the correct scope (contacts.readonly). Use OAuth or API key credentials to grant read-only access to contact data, then test the connection.
In the Zapier platform, connect the Zapier App Connector to your GHL account by providing the necessary credentials and completing the re-auth flow. Once authorized, you can start invoking the Contacts API endpoints to power EmailListVerify workflows.

Zero-code automation: build triggers and actions with a visual editor to automate contact workflows.
No-code data mapping: map fields between Contacts API and App Connector without writing code.
Unified workflows across EmailListVerify, Contacts API, and other connected apps for cleaner data flows.
This glossary clarifies terms like endpoint, trigger, action, authentication, webhook, and data mapping used throughout this guide.
A specific URL path used to access a resource in an API.
OAuth 2.0 is an authorization framework that lets apps access user data without sharing passwords.
The process of verifying identity and permissions to access resources.
A callback mechanism where a server sends data to another system in real time when events occur.
Route new contacts through EmailListVerify, then store verification results in contact notes for quick reference.
Tag and segment contacts based on verification scores to trigger targeted campaigns and follow-ups.
Create tasks automatically when a lead passes verification or engage with notes to nurture through the funnel.
In Zapier, configure OAuth or API keys to connect the Contacts API to the Zapier App Connector.
Choose GET /contacts/:contactId and related endpoints; map fields like email, name, and status to your app fields.
Create a test Zap to verify data flows from the Contacts API to your app and EmailListVerify results.
You generally need read permissions to access contact data. Start with the Contacts API scope: contacts.readonly. In Zapier App Connector, authorize with your GHL credentials to enable read access, then test a simple fetch to confirm connectivity. If you need write access, request additional permissions and adjust the scope accordingly. Always follow your data governance policies when granting access.
Yes. The Zapier App Connector provides no-code triggers and actions for common tasks like fetching contacts, creating new records, and applying tags. You can build end-to-end workflows without writing code by using the visual editor and mapping fields between the Contacts API and your app.
Key endpoints for basic flows include GET /contacts/:contactId to read a contact, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to fetch related tasks, and POST /contacts/ to create new contacts. For updates, you may use PUT /contacts/:contactId and POST /contacts/:contactId/tags to apply classifications.
Authenticate via OAuth 2.0 or API keys in the Zapier App Connector settings. After you grant permission, you can securely access the GHL Contacts API. If the connection drops, re-authenticate or refresh tokens as needed.
Yes. You can push updates back to GHL by using write-backed endpoints such as PUT /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, and POST /contacts/:contactId/tags. Ensure your app has write permissions and proper data validation.
Endpoint details are available in the API reference within Zapier’s app settings and your GHL developer docs. You can test calls directly in the Zapier dashboard or by using curl-like test events, then copy the sample calls into your workflow.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
