Understand the core elements and processes involved in connecting GHL Contacts API to Your App via Zapier.
A specific URL and method used to perform actions or retrieve data from the GHL API.
The process of proving identity and gaining access to API resources (OAuth/API Key).
An event in GHL that starts a Zap to perform actions in Your App.
A callback URL that allows real-time data delivery between systems.
New contact created in GHL triggers a Zap to create a user in Your App and assign a kickoff task.
Notes and tasks from GHL are mirrored in Your App to accelerate issue resolution.
Segment contacts in GHL and push lists to Your App for targeted campaigns.
Retrieve your GHL API key or OAuth credentials and prepare Your App to authorize requests.
Create a Zap that calls GET /contacts/:contactId and maps fields to Your App.
Test end-to-end data flow, monitor logs, and deploy to production.
Authentication can be done via OAuth 2.0 or API Key depending on how your GHL account is configured. In Zapier, select the connection and authorize access to Contacts data. This ensures secure, authorized calls from Your App.
For syncing contacts, start with retrieving a contact’s overview, tasks, notes, and appointments to build a complete profile in Your App. The most commonly used endpoints are GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes.
Yes. Use upsert operations (POST/PUT) to push changes from Your App to GHL, ensuring data parity across systems.
GHL enforces rate limits; design your Zap to batch requests, back off on failures, and cache data when possible to stay within limits.
Map fields like id, email, name, phone, and tags between GHL and Your App using Zapier’s field mapping UI.
No extra code is required—configure Zapier triggers and actions using the built-in connectors and field mapping.
Zapier task history and your app logs show connection status, errors, and data sync details.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
