To securely access the GHL Contacts API, generate an API key or OAuth token, keep credentials secret, and assign the scope: contacts.readonly to limit access to read operations.
Ghost (APPNAME) authenticates to GHL using standard OAuth2 or a pre-authorized API key via the Zapier App Connector. Keep credentials secure and rotate periodically.

Faster automation with Zapier App Connector—no coding required.
Real-time data sync between Ghost and GHL across contacts, notes, tasks, and more.
Templates, triggers, and actions that accelerate workflows.
This glossary explains endpoints, triggers, actions, and common data fields used in the Ghost-GHL integration.
A specific URL path that performs a defined operation on a resource in the API.
An event that starts a workflow in Zapier or your automation when data changes in Ghost or GHL.
An operation performed in Ghost or GHL as a result of a trigger, such as creating or updating a record.
The method used to verify identity, typically API keys or OAuth2 tokens.
When a Ghost form is submitted, automatically create or update a contact in GHL with the provided data.
Link new Ghost notes to corresponding GHL tasks to keep teams aligned.
Automatically update contact tags in GHL when Ghost form submissions indicate a change.
Obtain your API key, set the proper scope, and configure OAuth or webhook options.
In Zapier, add Ghost and GHL apps, connect accounts, and choose a trigger channel.
Create zaps to move data between Ghost and GHL using endpoints for contacts, notes, and tasks.
Ghost-to-GHL connections leverage the Contacts API to fetch and update contact data, notes, tasks, and more. You can trigger workflows when a contact is created or updated, and map fields like name, email, and tags to ensure data parity across systems. This setup helps teams stay synchronized without manual data entry.
No heavy coding is required. Use Zapier’s Ghost and GHL connectors to create zaps, triggers, and actions. For more complex needs, you can extend with simple scripts, but the core flow remains point-and-click.
Security relies on standard OAuth2 or API key authentication, encrypted connections, and least-privilege access. Rotate credentials regularly and monitor API usage and webhooks for anomalies.
You can synchronize contacts, notes, tasks, tags, and business associations. Map fields to keep data consistent and enable bidirectional updates where supported.
Use manual tests with sample data, then run a small sandbox zap to verify triggers fire and data lands in the target app. Validate field mappings and error handling before going live.
Yes. You can set up triggers on Ghost side or on GHL side to update tags or other fields automatically based on events in the other app.
API pricing and limits vary by plan. Check GHL and Ghost API docs for current quotas and rate limits.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
