Access to the Contacts API requires a valid API key with the scopes defined for your needs. Use the readonly scope (contacts.readonly) for retrieval and request elevated permissions if you need write access. Store credentials securely and rotate keys regularly.
Zapier App Connector authentication typically relies on OAuth 2.0 to authorize access to GHL data, with API keys as an alternative in private setups. Treat credentials as highly sensitive and implement secure storage and token refresh handling.
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, contacts.write, 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, fetch the contact details via GET /contacts/:contactId
Actions: GET /contacts/:contactId to pull data, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to pull tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes to pull notes
Method path examples: /contacts/:contactId and /contacts/:contactId/tasks etc.
Key fields: contactId, taskId, noteId, businessId
Trigger: an update to a contact should propagate related workflow actions and task scheduling
Actions: POST /contacts/ to create, PUT /contacts/:contactId to update, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to schedule tasks, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId to modify
Paths: /contacts/:contactId, /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: contactId, taskId
Trigger: new or updated notes or appointments for a contact
Actions: GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments
Paths: /contacts/:contactId/notes, /contacts/:contactId/appointments
Key fields: contactId
Automate data transfer between Feefo feedback, GHL contacts, and your app without writing code.
Reduce manual data entry, improve data accuracy, and accelerate workflows.
Get real time updates and trigger-based automations across tools.
Understand endpoints, triggers, actions, method paths, and key fields used in the integration.
A specific URL path that performs an operation against the API, such as retrieving a contact or creating a note.
An event in GHL that starts an automation in APPNAME, such as a new contact or updated task.
Methods used to prove identity and permission, typically API keys or OAuth credentials.
A unique identifier for a business in the GHL API ecosystem.
Automatically generate a task in GHL when a new contact enters the system via Feefo data.
Push Feefo notes into the contact notes in GHL for a complete activity history.
Update the contact status in GHL based on Feefo feedback outcomes.
Obtain API key or OAuth credentials for the Contacts API.
Pick endpoints like GET /contacts/:contactId and POST /contacts/ to sync data with Feefo.
Create automations with triggers, actions, and filters to automate Feefo data flow.
You need at least read permission for contacts to pull data, and the scope must include contacts.readonly. If you require write access, request higher permissions from your admin. Always protect keys and rotate credentials regularly. Keep credentials secure and review access periodically to maintain data security.
The Contacts API provides access to read and modify contact data within the permissions granted. Some endpoints are read-only by design, while others allow creates, updates, or deletions depending on your app’s privileges. If you need full access, ensure APPNAME has the necessary privileges and your connector is approved for those operations.
Authenticate using OAuth 2.0 for Zapier App Connector or API keys for private integrations. Follow the provider’s OAuth flow or securely store API keys and use token refresh where required. Always implement secure storage and rotate credentials on a schedule to minimize risk.
Webhooks are supported for many real-time updates on supported plans. If webhooks are not available, you can implement periodic polling of endpoints to keep data fresh. Ensure you handle retries and idempotency to avoid duplicate processing.
Rate limits depend on the endpoint and plan. Plan for retries with exponential backoff and use batching when possible to reduce the number of requests. Monitor quota usage and adjust polling frequency accordingly.
Yes. You can update or delete contacts if your credentials permit. Use PUT /contacts/:contactId to update and DELETE /contacts/:contactId to remove a contact. Be mindful of data integrity and confirm actions before destructive operations. Consider implementing safeguards in Zapier to prevent accidental mass deletions.
Map fields by configuring the Zapier action with corresponding fields from the GHL Contacts data. Use consistent data types, handle missing fields gracefully, and create validation steps to ensure data quality across systems. Document field mappings for future maintenance.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
