Use OAuth scopes or API tokens to securely access the Contacts API. The primary scope is contacts.readonly for viewing data.
Connect Zapier App Connector to your GHL account by granting permissions to read contacts, notes, tasks, and appointments.
Core endpoints for the Contacts API accessible via Zapier App Connector 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; 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

The Contacts API exposes endpoints for retrieving contacts, their tasks, notes, and related data. Core endpoints include: GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments, and more. Use ENDPOINTLIST to explore all 17 listed endpoints and tailor your Zapier workflows to fetch exactly what you need.
Authentication can be done via OAuth scopes or API tokens. The provided scope is contacts.readonly for read access. In Zapier, connect the app and grant permissions to read contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments. Store tokens securely, rotate credentials, and respect rate limits.
Yes — you can create, update, and delete contacts through endpoints POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId, and DELETE /contacts/:contactId. Similarly, you can manipulate tasks with POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks and PUT/DELETE, and manage tags with POST /contacts/:contactId/tags.
To create a contact, you typically need fields like name and email, with options for phone and other identifiers. Validation varies by implementation; you can supply additional fields via the request body. Use POST /contacts/ to create a new contact and ensure required fields are present.
To fetch a contact’s tasks, call GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks; this returns the list of tasks for that contact. For details on a single task, use GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId.
Notes can be retrieved with GET /contacts/:contactId/notes and a single note with GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id. Appointments for a contact are accessible via GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments. Use these to sync data to downstream apps.
The API supports pagination and rate limits; respect them by paginating results and implementing retries with backoff. Cache frequent lookups and batch requests where possible to optimize performance.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
