Secure requests to the GHL Contacts API require an API key or OAuth token. Include the token in the Authorization header as a Bearer token and apply the scope defined for your app (readonly for viewing data, write for creating or updating records).
Zapier handles the app connection configuration. Use the built‑in OAuth 2.0 flow or API key exchange for the Flexmail integration, then test the connection to ensure valid credentials and proper scopes.
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: A new contact is created in GHL (POST /contacts/) or an existing contact is updated (PUT /contacts/:contactId).
Actions: Create or update the corresponding contact in Flexmail via the Zapier App Connector; apply default tags and notes as needed.
POST /contacts/
name, email, phone, businessId
Trigger: A contact task is retrieved or updated in GHL (GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks or PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId).
Actions: Create or update a corresponding task in Flexmail via the Zapier App Connector.
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
contactId, taskId, status
Trigger: Notes are retrieved or updated for a contact (GET /contacts/:contactId/notes or GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id).
Actions: Create or append notes in Flexmail using the Zapier App Connector where supported.
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
contactId, noteId
No coding required. Use triggers and actions to connect GHL’s Contacts API with Flexmail in minutes.
Data stays synchronized across platforms, reducing manual data entry and errors.
Easily scale by adding endpoints and automations without touching code.
Definitions of core terms and the data flow when linking the GHL Contacts API with Flexmail through the Zapier App Connector.
A specific URL in the GHL API that performs a defined action, such as retrieving a contact or updating a task.
The process of proving identity to access the GHL API, typically via API keys or OAuth tokens included in request headers.
An authorization framework enabling secure, token-based access without sharing passwords.
A URL endpoint that sends real-time data updates to another app when a specified event occurs.
When a new contact enters Flexmail, automatically create or tag the corresponding contact in GHL to keep segments aligned.
Update task status in GHL and reflect progress in Flexmail for clear activity visibility.
Pull notes from GHL into Flexmail as activity history for richer contact records.
Obtain your GHL API key or OAuth credentials, then configure the Zapier App Connector to connect to the Contacts API with the required scopes (read or write).
Create Zaps that trigger on new or updated contacts, tasks, and notes, and map fields to Flexmail records.
Test the integration end-to-end, verify data mapping, and deploy your automations to run in the background.
No coding is required. Zapier provides a no-code interface to connect GHL’s Contacts API with Flexmail using triggers and actions. This makes it easy to automate common workflows without writing code. If you need more advanced logic, you can add multi-step Zaps and conditional filters to fine-tune behavior.
Essential endpoints include POST /contacts/ to create contacts, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to pull task lists, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to create tasks, and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes to retrieve notes. For updates, you can use PUT /contacts/:contactId or PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId. These endpoints cover typical CRM and task-note sync workflows.
Use OAuth 2.0 or API keys to authenticate with the GHL API. Keep credentials secure, rotate tokens regularly, and limit scopes to what is strictly needed for your Zapier automations. In Zapier, store credentials securely and avoid exposing them in logs or shared spaces. Regularly test connections after credential updates.
Yes. The no-code approach uses triggers, actions, and field mappings to automate data flows between GHL and Flexmail. You can start with simple flows and gradually add more steps as your needs grow, all without writing code.
Deleting data should be done cautiously. You can configure Zaps that perform deletes in GHL (e.g., DELETE /contacts/:contactId) only when you explicitly map an action to this operation and have safeguards in place. Always consider data retention policies before enabling delete actions.
Yes. Data can be filtered or routed based on fields like businessId, contact status, or custom tags. Use Zapier’s filters and mapping features to ensure only the desired records flow to Flexmail.
Endpoint references and setup details are documented in the GHL API docs and the Flexmail integration guide within Zapier. The Endpoints section above lists key paths you can use to build your automations.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
