Use your GHL API credentials to securely authorize requests to the Contacts API from Zapier App Connector.
The Zapier App Connector uses OAuth 2.0 to securely connect to GHL and access Contacts data.
Key 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, 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 contact is created or updated in GHL, trigger the Zap to sync data.
Actions: Create or update a contact in GHL, attach tasks and notes as needed.
GET /contacts/:contactId
Required fields: contactId, name, email
Trigger: New or updated contacts available for bulk retrieval.
Actions: List all contacts, get individual contact data by ID.
GET /contacts/
Key fields: contactId, name, email, businessId
Actions: Pull notes and tasks for a contact, and create or update records in related apps.
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
Key fields: contactId, noteId, taskId
No-code automation that saves time and reduces manual data entry.
Fast, reliable data synchronization across your tools.
Scalable integrations with minimal setup and maintenance.
This glossary defines core elements like endpoints, triggers, actions, authentication, and field mappings used in the HappyFox GHL integration.
A URL path that accesses a specific resource in the API, such as GET /contacts/:contactId.
An event that starts a Zap or workflow when something happens in GHL or the connected app.
An operation performed by the app, such as creating or updating a contact.
The process of proving identity and gaining access to the API, typically via OAuth 2.0 tokens.
Automatically create or update a contact in GHL when a new lead is added in your source app, and tag it for follow-up.
When a task is created in your ticketing tool, create a corresponding task in GHL and link to the contact.
Use a multi-step Zap to import multiple contacts from a CSV and enrich with notes and tags in GHL.
Connect GHL and Zapier App Connector by entering credentials and granting access.
Select the desired endpoints (e.g., GET /contacts/:contactId) and map GHL fields to your Zapier fields.
Run a test to verify data flow, then enable the Zap in production.
Yes. The GHL Contacts API uses OAuth-based authentication. You will authorize the Zapier App Connector to access your contacts data. The scope for this integration is contacts.readonly, meaning you can retrieve data but cannot modify it from this app. For writes, you would need appropriate permissions and scopes granted by your GHL administrator.
No coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides a guided setup to map fields, choose triggers, and configure actions. If you need custom logic, you can add filters or multi-step Zaps.
Yes. You can fetch a contact’s notes and tasks via dedicated endpoints. Configure separate actions to retrieve notes and tasks for a given contact.
Authentication uses OAuth 2.0 tokens that refresh automatically. Tokens should be stored securely and never exposed in logs.
Endpoints vary by purpose. Typical read operations use GET endpoints like /contacts and /contacts/:contactId, while write operations require appropriate scopes. Review the available endpoints list for your use case.
Security measures include OAuth 2.0 authentication, encrypted connections (HTTPS), and principle of least privilege with scope restrictions.
Bulk operations can be achieved with multi-action Zaps and batch-friendly endpoints where supported. Always test thoroughly before going live.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
