The Contacts API requires secure access via OAuth 2.0. When you connect GHL to Zapier App Connector, you’ll grant a token that authorizes requests to read and write contacts, tasks, notes, and more.
In Zapier, create a connection for the Zapier App Connector to your GHL account, selecting the required scopes and saving credentials for reuse in zaps.

Connect your GHL account to Zapier by granting access to contacts, tasks, and notes.
Choose the events you want to trigger and the app actions to perform when those events occur.
Test the workflow and turn on the Zap to automate ongoing processes.
The GHL Contacts API provides programmatic access to core CRM data such as contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments. It enables you to read, create, and update records via standard HTTP methods.\n\nWith Zapier, you can trigger workflows from GHL events and push data to thousands of apps without writing code.
No custom code is required for basic use. Zapier offers ready-made triggers, actions, and searches that connect GHL data to your favorite apps. For advanced scenarios, you can still add code steps if needed.
For a basic sync, you’ll typically use endpoints for contacts, and optionally tasks or notes to enrich data. The ENDPOINTLIST above outlines the most common calls.
Yes. You can access notes and tasks in Zapier by subscribing to the respective triggers and actions, enabling two-way sync for comprehensive context.
Security is handled via OAuth 2.0 and encrypted transmission. Always use secure connections and follow best practices for managing credentials.
Authentication is handled through your GHL credentials within Zapier’s connection setup. You’ll authorize access once, and your token is reused for subsequent zaps.
API rate limits depend on your GHL plan. Consult your account’s API section for current quotas and best practices to avoid throttling.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
