GHL supports OAuth 2.0 and API keys for API access. Use your token to authorize endpoints such as GET /contacts/:contactId and POST /contacts/; keep credentials secure.
In Zapier, configure your GHL connection using OAuth 2.0 or an API key, then apply the stored credentials to all actions and triggers.
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; 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 on contact update or new contact creation, then pull related tasks and notes to keep data in sync.
Actions: Get contact; List tasks; List notes
GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
contactId, taskId, noteId
Trigger when a new task is created for a contact, then update its status as needed.
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed
contactId; taskId
Trigger when notes are added or updated for a contact, or when tags are applied.
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/notes; PUT /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id; POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
POST /contacts/:contactId/notes; PUT /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id; POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
contactId; id
Automate contact data sync between GHL and Zapier to save time and reduce manual entry.
Leverage endpoints to build powerful workflows without writing code.
Centralize customer data and enable real-time updates across apps.
Understand core concepts like authentication, endpoints, triggers, and fields used in GHL and Zapier integrations.
The process of validating access to GHL APIs using OAuth2 or API keys.
A specific URL in the GHL API used to perform a action on data.
An event in GHL that starts a Zapier workflow.
The Zapier App Connector that connects GHL with other apps.
Create a multi-step Zap that pulls a contact, creates tasks for follow-ups, and attaches notes automatically.
Tag contacts based on activity and route to appropriate task workflows.
Use webhooks to push updates from GHL to Zapier and trigger downstream actions.
Obtain OAuth2 token or API key for GHL and configure app credentials in Zapier.
Choose endpoints like GET /contacts/:contactId and POST /contacts/ to power your workflow.
Create triggers and actions in Zapier to connect contacts, tasks, notes, and tags.
GHL supports OAuth 2.0 and API keys for authentication. Obtain a token or key and include it in the Authorization header when calling endpoints like GET /contacts/:contactId and POST /contacts/. Keep credentials secure and rotate keys regularly according to your security policy. When connected through Zapier App Connector, store credentials in the app’s secure vault and test authentication to confirm access.
For syncing contacts, use GET /contacts/:contactId to pull individual profiles and GET /contacts/ for bulk retrieval as needed. To power tasks and notes workflows, use GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes to keep related data in sync.
No coding is required to set up automations with the Zapier App Connector. The visual editor lets you create triggers and actions without writing code. Advanced scenarios can use filters or multi-step paths if needed, but most workflows are achievable with drag-and-drop configuration.
Yes, you can create tasks with POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks and update them with PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, including marking them as completed with the completed endpoint. You can also create and attach notes via POST /contacts/:contactId/notes and apply tags with POST /contacts/:contactId/tags.
Notes and tags are tied to a specific contact. Use POST /contacts/:contactId/notes to add notes and PUT /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id to update them, then POST /contacts/:contactId/tags to attach tags. Organize notes by relationship to tasks or events to improve searchability and automation routing.
Appointments can be retrieved using GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments, enabling visibility in workflows and dashboards. Set up triggers to respond when appointment data changes, such as reschedules or cancellations, to keep downstream systems informed.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan; monitor response times and use retry/backoff strategies in Zapier to avoid spikes. Implement error handling steps in your Zap to gracefully handle API errors and prevent data inconsistencies.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
