Use the required scope: contacts.readonly to securely fetch contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments from the Contacts API.
Zapier App Connector uses OAuth 2.0 or API key-based authentication depending on your setup. Ensure the connector is authorized to access the Contacts API with the necessary scope.

A concise glossary of terms and processes used for the GHL Contacts API and the Zapier App Connector integration.
A specific URL that allows a client to perform an action (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) on a resource.
The method used to verify identity and grant access to API resources (e.g., OAuth 2.0, API keys).
A server-to-server callback used to notify your app about events as they happen.
A tool or service that connects apps without writing custom code to automate tasks.
Automatically create or update contacts when a new lead enters your system, then route data to marketing and sales tools via Zapier.
Generate tasks from contact updates, assign owners, and set reminders to keep teams aligned.
Summarize notes and attach insights to contact records to trigger follow-ups in other apps.
Collect your API key or OAuth credentials and ensure the required scope (contacts.readonly) is granted.
Use the Zapier app to authorize the GHL Contacts API connection and run a test pull to verify access.
Create a Zap that triggers on a contact event and performs actions like fetching tasks or notes.
The Contacts API lets you read and manage contact data, tasks, notes, and appointments. It provides endpoints to fetch and manipulate these resources. Using the Zapier App Connector, you can automate data flows between GHL and your other apps without writing code. This combination enables scalable, repeatable processes across sales, marketing, and support teams.
You typically need to authorize the connector (OAuth 2.0 or API key) and grant the contacts.readonly scope. After authorization, run a quick test in Zapier to confirm connectivity and data access.
Key endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, and GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments. The list also covers creating and updating contacts and related resources with POST, PUT, and DELETE requests as needed.
Authentication uses standard secure methods (OAuth 2.0 or API keys). Keep keys secret, rotate credentials regularly, and adhere to least-privilege access for scopes like contacts.readonly.
Yes. You can fetch a contact’s tasks and notes by calling the corresponding endpoints (e.g., GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes) and combine results in your Zapier workflows.
Open the Zapier task for your workflow, run a test connection, and review the API responses in the data section. Check authentication status and endpoint responses for any errors.
Error logs appear in Zapier’s task history and can also be reviewed in your GHL audit logs or API access logs, depending on your integration setup.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
