Authorize the Zapier App Connector to access your GHL Contacts data
Choose a trigger such as contact updated or new contact
Map GHL fields to sheet columns and test the workflow
You can pull core contact data such as name, email, phone, company, and custom fields. You can also fetch related items like tasks and notes to build a complete CRM view in Sheets. The endpoints support read operations with GET and can be combined in workflows to keep your data fresh.
No heavy coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides ready to use triggers and actions that you can configure with simple field mappings. If needed, small tweaks in mapping or filters can tailor the flow to your process.
Yes, you can pull tasks and notes for each contact using the relevant endpoints. You can also push updates back to GHL from Sheets by mapping endpoints for tasks and notes.
Data in transit uses HTTPS and OAuth tokens. Zapier stores credentials securely and supports token refresh. You should follow best practices like restricting scopes and enabling two factor on your accounts.
Read operations use GET endpoints such as GET /contacts/:contactId and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks. Write operations use POST, PUT, and DELETE endpoints for creating and updating data.
The example scope shown is contacts.readonly for view access. For writing data you will need contacts.write or broader scopes granted by your GHL administrator.
Zapier automatically retries failed tasks and logs errors for troubleshooting. You can configure alerting and view run histories to identify and fix issues.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
