GHL exposes authentication via API keys or OAuth tokens. Securely store credentials and use them in your Zapier app to authenticate requests to the Contacts API.
Configure OAuth or API key based authentication in the Zapier app connection settings and test a quick ping to verify access.

Trigger: New or updated contact in FanBasis; pull contact data via GET /contacts/:contactId and fetch related tasks.
Actions: Create or update a contact in Zapier; create or update tasks; add notes to the contact thread.
GET /contacts/:contactId
contactId, name, email, phone, status
Trigger: Task created or updated for a contact; fetch tasks with GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Actions: Update task status in FanBasis; create new tasks from notes; mark completed when finished
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
contactId, taskId, status, dueDate
Trigger: New contact created in GHL; create in FanBasis and apply tags
Actions: POST /contacts/ to create; POST /contacts/:contactId/tags to apply tags
POST /contacts/
name, email, tags
Fast setup with no coding required using the Zapier App Connector and GHL Contacts API
Automate repetitive workflows between FanBasis and your CRM to save time and reduce manual work
Scale your data integrations as your fanbase grows without writing custom code
Key elements include the endpoints you use, authentication, triggers, actions, and data mapping; processes describe how to connect and automate flows between FanBasis, GHL Contacts API, and the Zapier App Connector.
An API is a set of rules that allows software applications to communicate with each other.
An API endpoint is a specific URL where a particular operation is performed.
Authentication verifies identity to access API resources, typically via API keys or OAuth tokens.
A webhook is a notification sent from an API when a defined event occurs in real time.
Automatically create a welcome task and assign onboarding tags when a new contact is added in FanBasis.
Sync contact status changes to trigger follow up emails or tasks in your automations.
Schedule periodic cleanups pulling contacts and re tagging or re assigning as needed.
Obtain credentials from GHL and configure OAuth or API key in the Zapier app.
Define which endpoints to use and how data will be mapped in Zapier.
Run tests on connected flows and monitor for errors; deploy to automation.
You can connect without writing code using Zapier App Connector. It provides a visual workflow builder to map GHL Contacts API data to FanBasis actions. You can set up triggers, actions, and data fields without coding. If you prefer custom logic, you can still extend your flows with minimal scripting.
GHL supports API key based and OAuth token authentication. In Zapier, choose OAuth for ongoing connection or use API keys for direct requests. Store credentials securely and rotate keys periodically.
Endpoints available include retrieving a contact, tasks, notes, and tagging capabilities. Use GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, and POST /contacts/:contactId/tags to build rich automations.
Test connections directly in Zapier by creating a test zap and running the trigger and action steps. Check API responses for errors, verify credentials, and adjust data mappings as needed.
Yes. You can automatically tag new or updated contacts using the POST /contacts/:contactId/tags endpoint and include relevant tags in your data mapping.
There is no hard limit imposed by Zapier for most plans, but API rate limits from GHL apply. Plan your runs to stay within the allowed quotas and implement backoff logic.
Visit the official docs for GHL API and the Zapier App Connector. You can also reach out to support through Rankr for guided help and example templates.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
