Authenticate using OAuth 2.0 credentials for the Contacts API with read-only scope (contacts.readonly). Your Zapier app will request access and refresh tokens to securely sync data.
Set up OAuth in the Zapier App Connector and authorize the Contacts API scopes (read-only). Use secure token storage and rotate credentials as needed.
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 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: When a new contact is created or updated in the Contacts API, pull data into Google Tables via Zapier.
Actions: Use GET /contacts/:contactId and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to populate fields in Google Tables.
GET /contacts/:contactId and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
contactId, firstName, lastName, email, phone, company, taskList
Trigger: Google Tables row changes create or update a contact in the Contacts API.
Actions: POST /contacts/ to create; PUT /contacts/:contactId to update
POST /contacts/; PUT /contacts/:contactId
firstName, lastName, email, phone, company, contactId
Trigger: Changes to tasks or notes in the Contacts API update Google Tables.
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes to sync notes
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
contactId, taskId, noteId, taskName, status, dueDate
Automate data flows without writing code using triggers, actions, and field mappings in Zapier.
Keep Google Tables in sync with real-time contact data across the Contacts API.
Scale workflows across teams with reusable automations and audit trails.
A quick glossary of terms and core elements used to connect the GHL Contacts API with the Zapier App Connector in Google Tables.
A specific URL path and HTTP method used to access a resource in the GHL API.
Authorization framework that grants limited access to resources without exposing user credentials.
A mechanism for servers to push real-time data to other systems when events occur.
A permission level attached to an access token that governs allowed actions.
Automatically create new Contacts in the GHL Contacts API from rows added in Google Tables via a Zap.
Attach tasks and notes to each contact as you update Google Tables, keeping records complete.
Sync updates from the Contacts API back to Google Tables to maintain current data across systems.
Register your Zapier app, obtain client credentials, and grant the Contacts API scopes (readonly) to enable data access.
Configure field mappings between Google Tables columns and Contacts API fields such as contactId, email, and notes.
Run test requests, validate data flow, and enable the automation in production.
The Contacts API exposes multiple endpoints such as GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE for contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments. This allows you to read, create, update, and remove records as needed. You can fetch a contact with GET /contacts/:contactId and related resources like tasks and notes. For Google Tables, you can pull in contact data and push updates with mappings. It’s designed for no-code automation through Zapier App Connector.
No traditional coding is required. Use Zapier App Connector to configure triggers and actions that map Google Tables fields to Contacts API endpoints. If complex transformations are needed, you can add simple logic within Zapier’s built-in tools.
The integration uses OAuth 2.0 tokens with scopes such as contacts.readonly to limit access. You will authorize your Zapier app to access the Contacts API and refresh tokens automatically.
In Zapier, create a mapping between Google Tables columns (e.g., Name, Email) and Contacts API fields. Use the endpoints listed in the endpoint list to read or write data.
Test the Zapier workflow with sample data. Check logs in Zapier and API responses. Enable error handling and retry rules.
Yes. You can sync tasks and notes by configuring actions to POST/PUT on tasks or notes endpoints. You can also pull notes with GET /contacts/:contactId/notes.
Data is transferred over HTTPS with OAuth tokens. For compliance, adhere to your organization’s data policy and the GHL API terms.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
