Authenticate to the GHL Contacts API using OAuth2 and provide a scoped access to read and write contact data (scope: contacts.readonly).
Authorize the Zapier App Connector to access your GHL account and the Contacts API using OAuth and secure token exchange.

Automate data flow between Hotjar and GHL without writing a line of code.
Create powerful workflows that run on events, not on manual triggers.
Scale your data accuracy with real-time syncing and centralized in one dashboard.
Definitions of endpoints, triggers, actions, authentication flows, and data fields used to connect GHL Contacts API with the Zapier App Connector for Hotjar.
GHL’s API surface for reading and writing contact records, including tasks, notes, appointments, and tags.
Specific API routes like GET /contacts/:contactId and POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks that perform CRUD operations.
Events in one system that start automations in another, such as a new contact or updated task.
Operations that create, update, or delete data in GHL via the API or Zapier.
Set up a Zapier workflow that listens for events from Hotjar via the Contacts API and updates the corresponding contact in GHL in real time.
Create tasks automatically when a contact changes state, using endpoints like POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks.
Automatically assign tags to contacts based on behavior captured by Hotjar and aligned with GHL tags.
Authorize your GHL account and connect the Contacts API to the Zapier App Connector.
Map core contact fields (email, name, phone) and pair endpoints (GET /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts/) to sync data.
Run validation tests, verify data consistency, and deploy automation to production.
The Contacts API provides programmatic access to contact records within GHL, including related data like tasks, notes, appointments and tags. It allows read and write operations to keep your CRM in sync with external apps like Hotjar via Zapier. You can tailor scopes to read-only or read-write needs and implement safe workflows with proper authentication. When used with the Zapier App Connector, you can trigger automations in response to hotjar events and push updates back into GHL without touching code, enabling seamless cross-app workflows.
Yes. Zapier App Connector acts as the bridge between Hotjar and GHL, so you can create no-code automations to sync data and drive actions. Answer 2: You’ll configure triggers on new or updated contacts, map fields, and specify actions such as upserting contacts, tasks, or notes in GHL.
The essential endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId to read a contact, POST /contacts/ to create, PUT /contacts/:contactId to update, and POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to create tasks, plus POST /contacts/:contactId/tags to assign tags. Depending on your use case, you may also read notes or tasks with endpoints like GET /contacts/:contactId/notes and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks.
Use OAuth2 with scoped permissions and secure token handling. Store tokens in a secure vault and rotate them regularly. Ensure HTTPS, follow least privilege, and monitor activity logs in Zapier and GHL for anomalies.
Field mapping involves aligning your source fields (from Hotjar) with target GHL fields such as email, name, phone, and tags. Use Zapier’s built-in mapping to normalize formats and handle missing values to prevent data corruption.
Yes. You can automatically apply and update tags on contacts through the POST /contacts/:contactId/tags endpoint as part of a Zapier workflow. Consider tag constraints and duplicates; implement a deduping step where needed.
Error logs and run history appear in Zapier task history and in GHL activity logs. You can enable webhooks or email alerts for failures and test each step with sample data before going live.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
