Authenticate requests with your GHL credentials. Use your API key and Bearer token with the required scope: contacts.readonly. Include the Authorization header in every request.
Zapier handles OAuth 2.0 flows for the connector and securely stores access tokens. When you connect, authorize the app to access Contacts data in your GHL account.
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 to pull a specific contact by ID using GET /contacts/:contactId.
Fetch and sync a single contact’s data to downstream apps.
GET /contacts/:contactId
Path parameter: contactId; optional query to include related data.
Trigger to retrieve a paginated list of contacts with GET /contacts/.
Batch-fetch and sync multiple contacts to your workflow.
GET /contacts/
Pagination: page, limit; optional filter parameters such as businessId.
Upsert a contact using POST /contacts/ or PUT /contacts/:contactId.
Create or update contact records in GHL for accurate data sync.
POST /contacts/ and PUT /contacts/:contactId
Body fields: name, email, phone, customFields; required contactId when updating.
Build end-to-end workflows without writing code and deploy faster.
Keep data in sync across apps with minimal maintenance.
Easily test, iterate, and scale with drag-and-drop automation.
Key elements include endpoints, authentication, data fields, and processing flows used to connect GHL with apps via Zapier.
A set of rules and protocols that allow apps to interact with the GHL platform programmatically.
The process of proving identity to access GHL data, typically via Bearer tokens or OAuth.
A specific URL path used to access or manipulate resources in the GHL API.
Technique to fetch large result sets in chunks using page and limit parameters.
Capture new form submissions in GoSquared and instantly create or update contacts in GHL via Zapier.
Schedule regular de-duplication and archiving of inactive contacts.
Trigger follow-up tasks when a contact reaches a lifecycle stage.
Obtain your GHL API key and ensure the scope includes contacts.readonly; register the Zapier app to your account.
Authorize the connection in Zapier and map GHL contact fields to your workflow fields.
Run tests, verify data flows, and deploy your automated workflows.
The supported endpoints include retrieving a single contact, their tasks, notes, and appointments, as well as listing all contacts and managing tasks. Use the upsert actions to keep records synchronized. Refer to the endpoint list to ensure you’re calling the correct paths and include necessary identifiers like contactId for targeted reads.
Authentication is done with a GHL API key and an OAuth token. Use the required scope (contacts.readonly) for read operations. In Zapier, ensure the app has an active connection and that the Authorization header is included in each API call. Rotate credentials periodically and follow your org’s security guidelines.
Yes. You can read and write contacts using POST, PUT, and DELETE endpoints. Be mindful of permissions (contacts.write) and ensure you have appropriate rights. Test write operations in a staging environment before going live.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan and endpoint. To minimize impact, batch requests when possible and implement backoff strategies. Use pagination for large result sets and respect per-call quotas.
No coding is required to connect GHL with Zapier App Connector. The workflow builder handles triggers, actions, and mappings via a visual interface. For advanced scenarios, you can still customize field mappings and filters within the app settings.
Field mapping is done in Zapier’s setup screens. Map GoSquared contact fields (name, email, phone, custom fields) to destination app fields, and use search filters to locate contacts quickly. If relationships or nested data are involved, consider additional actions to fetch related notes or tasks.
API documentation is available in the GoSquared developer portal. Look for the Contacts API reference and authentication sections. You can access quick-start guides and example workflows to accelerate setup.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
