Access the Contacts API with your API key and the required scope: contacts.readonly. Use OAuth where supported and keep credentials secure.
Authorize the Zapier App Connector to connect to your GHL account using the OAuth flow or API key provided in the app settings. Store tokens securely.
Endpoints 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, API Endpoint9: 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 Google Forms submission creates or updates a contact in the Contacts API.
Actions: fetch or write contact data with GET /contacts/:contactId and POST/PUT endpoints to create or update records.
GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, email, fullName
Trigger: New Google Form submission causes a new contact to be created in the Contacts API.
Actions: POST /contacts/ to create the contact; optionally create tasks with POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks.
POST /contacts/
Key fields: email, firstName, lastName
Trigger: updates from Google Forms or contact changes trigger notes and tasks synchronization.
PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId
Key fields: contactId, taskId, noteId
Zero-code automation that moves Google Forms data into your CRM without writing any code.
Real-time syncing between forms, contacts, tasks, and notes reduces manual data entry and errors.
Flexible data mapping and scalable workflows that grow with your business.
Key elements include API endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, and data mapping between Google Forms submissions and Contacts API records.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to access a function of an API.
The process of proving identity to use the API, typically via API keys or OAuth tokens.
A callback mechanism that delivers real-time events from an external service to your application.
The data body sent with an API request or response.
Map form fields to contact fields and create or update records in Contacts API with a single zap.
Create tasks linked to the contact when specific form answers are received.
Add notes to the contact describing the submission context in Google Forms.
Authorize the Zapier App Connector to access your GHL Contacts API with the required scope: contacts.readonly.
Create a Zap that maps Google Forms fields to Contacts API fields and selects actions like create or update.
Run test submissions, verify data in the Contacts API, then deploy to live.
No coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides a no-code interface to map Google Forms fields to Contacts API fields and to set actions (create or update) on your contact records. You can set up triggers based on form submissions and automatically push data into the Contacts API. This makes setup fast and approachable for non-developers.
Common endpoints used include GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch, POST /contacts/ to create, PUT /contacts/:contactId to update, GET /contacts/ to list, and endpoints to manage tasks and notes such as POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks and PUT /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id. Mapping these endpoints to form fields enables seamless data flow between Google Forms and the Contacts API.
Data is transmitted over secure connections (HTTPS) and access is controlled via API keys or OAuth tokens with scoped permissions. Always keep credentials in a secure vault and rotate tokens regularly. Monitoring and logging provide visibility into who accessed the data and when.
Yes. Use POST /contacts/ to create new contacts and PUT /contacts/:contactId to update existing ones. You can set up workflows where a single form submission creates or updates a contact depending on whether a matching identifier (like email) exists.
Yes. You can extend the workflow to create or update related items like tasks and notes by using endpoints such as POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks and PUT /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id, enabling complete synchronization of contact context.
A basic Zapier plan may cover most workflows, but more advanced features (multistep zaps, higher task throughput, premium apps) may require a paid plan. Check your usage needs in Zapier pricing.
API credentials and scopes are managed in the GHL account or within the Zapier App Connector settings. Generate an API key or configure OAuth, then apply the required scope (e.g., contacts.readonly) for your integration.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
