Use OAuth 2.0 with your GHL developer credentials to authorize Zapier to read and manage contact data in the Contacts API.
Authenticate the Zapier connection using your Zapier account credentials and the connected app credentials; secure tokens are stored by Zapier.

Trigger: Poll for a single contact by ID to fetch up-to-date details in Zapier workflows.
Actions: update contact, add notes, attach tasks, or fetch related data.
GET /contacts/:contactId
contactId
Trigger: pull the list of tasks for a given contact.
Actions: create, update, or delete a task for the contact.
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
contactId, taskId (optional for specific task)
Trigger: fetch a single task by ID for a given contact.
Actions: mark complete, update details, or link to notes.
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId
contactId, taskId
Automates contact data sync between GHL and apps without custom code.
Centralizes workflows in Zapier for rapid automation.
Scales securely with OAuth-based authentication and granular permissions.
Core elements include endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, and data fields used to move contact data between GHL and connected apps.
A URL that represents a resource in the GHL Contacts API, used by Zapier to request or send data.
An authorization framework that lets apps obtain limited access to a user’s data without sharing passwords.
A bridge within Zapier that connects the GHL API to automate workflows without writing code.
HTTP callbacks that allow apps to notify one another of events in real time.
Create a Zap that captures new contacts in GHL and triggers onboarding tasks automatically.
Set up a Zap to push task updates and notes to a central channel when a contact changes stage.
Build a dashboard that shows real-time sync status between GHL and connected apps.
Create a GHL API key and authorize Zapier to access your Contacts data.
Select endpoints, map fields, and set data transforms in Zapier.
Run tests, verify data flow, and push to production.
No extensive coding is required. Zapier App Connector provides a no-code interface to connect GHL endpoints. You can map fields, set transformations, and automate workflows using simple triggers and actions. For complex logic, you can extend functionality with built-in filters and multi-step paths. Additionally, you can reuse templates and pre-built zap steps to accelerate setup.
Supported authentication methods include OAuth 2.0 for secure access to GHL data and API keys for Zapier connections. OAuth 2.0 provides token-based authentication without sharing passwords, while API keys can be used for straightforward integrations. Always follow your organization’s security policies when storing credentials.
End points cover common contact operations: getting a contact by ID, listing a contact’s tasks and notes, and managing tasks. You can also create new contacts, update existing ones, and attach or modify related notes and tags. The list includes endpoints for appointments and business-based queries as needed.
Yes. Zapier can poll GHL via triggers like new or updated contact data and related tasks. You can also set up actions that fire when a GHL event occurs, enabling real-time or near-real-time automation within your workflows.
Data in transit is protected by HTTPS and OAuth 2.0. Zapier stores tokens securely, and access is scoped to the minimum permissions required for the workflow. For extra security, rotate tokens regularly and use IP whitelisting where available.
Usage limits depend on your GHL plan and Zapier plan. Monitor API call counts, rate limits, and task quotas in your dashboards. If you anticipate spikes, implement exponential backoff and batching to stay within limits.
Use Zapier’s Test feature to simulate triggers and actions with your GHL data. Validate data mapping, field formats, and error handling. Once tests pass, promote the Zap to production and monitor initial runs for any adjustments.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
