Access requires OAuth 2.0 with the contacts.readonly scope to securely retrieve contact data from GHL
Zapier App Connector uses OAuth 2.0 or API keys depending on your setup to authorize actions

Trigger when a contact is retrieved or updated using GET endpoints like /contacts/:contactId
Actions include fetching contact details, related tasks, notes and appointments
Common read paths include /contacts/:contactId, /contacts/:contactId/tasks, /contacts/:contactId/notes, /contacts/:contactId/appointments
Key fields to map: contactId, taskId, noteId, businessId
Trigger when a new contact is created or an existing one is updated via POST or PUT on /contacts/:contactId
Actions cover creating and updating contacts, plus managing tasks and tags
Write paths include /contacts/, /contacts/:contactId, /contacts/:contactId/tasks, /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId
Key fields: contactId, taskId, tagId
Trigger when tags are added or removed on a contact via /contacts/:contactId/tags
Actions to add or remove tags using POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
Paths used for tagging include /contacts/:contactId/tags
Key fields: contactId, tagId

The integration connects the GHL Contacts API to the Zapier App Connector so data can flow between systems automatically. This setup exposes read access to contacts, tasks, notes and appointments. You can build triggers and actions around these objects to automate workflows. In short, you get a no code path to modern CRM automation.
No coding is required for standard use. The connector provides ready to use triggers and actions. If your use case requires custom logic, you can add filters or webhooks within Zapier to extend functionality.
The integration supports a range of endpoints for reading, creating and updating data. Use GET for retrieval, POST for creation, PUT for updates and DELETE for removals on contacts, tasks, notes, appointments and tags as listed in the endpoint list.
Authentication is handled via OAuth 2.0 with the appropriate scopes. Ensure your app is authorized to access the Contacts API before starting triggers or actions.
Yes, you can modify contact data, tasks and notes through the corresponding endpoints. Map fields in Zapier and configure actions to update records in GHL.
Tags can be added or removed on contacts using the /contacts/:contactId/tags endpoint. Use tagId to manage tagging in bulk or per contact.
A common workflow is to create a contact when a lead signs up, create a follow up task, and tag the contact based on the payment status. This demonstrates the combined use of read, create and tag actions.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
