Use API keys or OAuth tokens to securely access the Contacts API from the Zapier App Connector. Set the credentials in the app ensuring the proper scopes are granted.
Configure OAuth or API key based access in Zapier and test the connection to verify permissions and data access.
Endpoints cover read operations like getting a contact, its tasks and notes, plus write operations for creating and updating contacts and tasks. Example endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId, DELETE /contacts/:contactId, and related sub-resources like notes and tags. The list expands to include additional endpoints for business data and bulk actions as needed in your workflows.
Trigger: Retrieve a contact by ID using GET /contacts/:contactId to start a workflow with the contact data.
Actions: Pull related data such as tasks and notes for the contact and push updates to downstream apps.
GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId; optional data expansion flags to fetch related data.
Trigger: New contact created via POST /contacts/ or via a form submission.
Actions: Create or update a contact, then optionally create tasks or attach notes and tags.
POST /contacts/
Key fields: email, firstName, lastName, phone number.
Trigger: A new task is created for a contact using POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks.
Actions: Create, update, complete or delete tasks via the respective endpoints to keep task data in sync.
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: contactId, task details such as title and due date.
Faster automation by wiring contacts and tasks without writing code.
Data consistency through standardized field mappings across apps.
Scalable workflows that grow with your business using triggers and actions.
This glossary defines endpoints, authentication, triggers, and actions used to integrate the Contacts API with Zapier App Connector.
A route and method used to perform an operation on the API, such as GET /contacts/:contactId.
The method to prove identity for API access, typically API key or OAuth token.
An event in an app that starts a Zap workflow, such as a new contact or updated record.
An operation performed by a Zap step in response to a trigger, such as create or update a record.
Capture incoming form submissions and automatically create or update contacts in GHL, then trigger follow up tasks.
When tasks are completed in GHL, reflect status in Zapier and notify team channels.
Keep contact records synchronized across GHL and other apps with push and pull updates.
Configure credentials in Zapier app settings and test the connection.
Select endpoints such as GET /contacts/:contactId and POST /contacts/ and map fields to target apps.
Create Zaps, run tests, and monitor logs to ensure data flows correctly.
We support OAuth 2.0 and API key authentication. Start by generating credentials in GHL and adding them to Zapier’s app configuration. Ensure scopes are set to the necessary access level. Test the connection to confirm access.
Read endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, notes, etc. Write endpoints include POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId, and DELETE /contacts/:contactId. Map these endpoints to your target app fields in Zapier.
Use the built in test feature in Zapier to validate your connection and endpoint responses. Check status codes, sample data, and field mappings to ensure accuracy.
Yes, there are rate limits. If you hit limits, space requests out or upgrade plan. Contact support for higher thresholds.
Real time syncing is possible with webhooks and polling depending on the endpoint and plan. Configure Zapier triggers to react to changes.
No coding required for most automations. The no code approach works with Zapier’s app builder, with advanced users able to customize via fields and filters.
API documentation is available in the GHL developer portal and Zapier’s developer docs; you will find endpoint references, authentication steps, and example Zaps.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
