GHL authenticates requests using API keys and OAuth scopes. When connected via the Zapier App Connector, provide your API key and set the required scope (contacts.readonly) to securely retrieve data.
Zapier handles credentials through OAuth 2.0 or API token flows supported by the connector. Authenticate with the GHL Contacts API and manage token refreshes within Zapier.
Available endpoints for the Contacts API include: – 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 – 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 contact is created or updated in GHL, pushing data to Zapier for downstream actions.
Actions: Create or update a contact in Zapier, update tags, or create related tasks.
GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, email, firstName, lastName, phone, status
Trigger: When a task is created or updated for a contact.
Actions: Create or update tasks in Zapier app and align status.
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: taskId, taskName, dueDate, status, priority
Trigger: Notes added or updated for a contact.
Actions: Create notes, update note content, apply tags.
POST /contacts/:contactId/notes
Key fields: noteId, content, createdAt, updatedAt
Automate repetitive tasks without writing code.
Keep data in sync across GHL and your apps with triggers and actions.
Prototype and deploy workflows quickly using a visual interface.
Core elements include endpoints, authentication, webhooks, data mapping, and error handling; processes describe how to connect, test, and deploy automations.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to access or manipulate data from an API.
A lightweight event-based notification sent from GHL to another app when data changes.
The process of verifying identity to allow access to the API, often via API keys or OAuth tokens.
The maximum number of API requests allowed in a given time window to protect the service.
Automatically identify duplicate contacts and enrich data from connected apps.
When a new lead is created in GHL, auto-create onboarding tasks in your project management tool.
Sync appointments between GHL and your calendar app to avoid double bookings.
Obtain your API key, client ID, and OAuth configuration from GHL and the Zapier app.
Add the required endpoints to Zapier, and map GHL fields to Zapier fields.
Run end-to-end tests and monitor data flows before going live.
The integration connects GHL’s Contacts API with Zapier App Connector, allowing you to automate data flows. You can pull contact data, create and update records, and trigger workflows across apps without writing code. Begin by authenticating and selecting the appropriate endpoints for your workflow.
You have a suite of endpoints to work with, including get, post, put, and delete for contacts, tasks, notes, and tags. Use the endpoints that match your workflow, such as GET /contacts/:contactId and POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to manage related data.
Authentication is handled via API keys or OAuth tokens within the Zapier connector. Provide credentials securely in the Zapier app and refresh as needed.
No full-code development is required. The Zapier App Connector provides a visual workflow designer to map fields and automate actions.
Yes. You can sync tasks, notes, and tags linked to contacts. Configure triggers and actions to propagate updates between GHL and your apps.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan and Zapier’s policies; watch for 429 responses and implement exponential backoff in your flows.
Test the connection using Zapier’s built-in test tool and by sending sample records to ensure mappings work correctly.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
