Use OAuth 2.0 with your GHL Contacts API credentials to securely access data from Zapier. Set up a client in GHL and configure the connection in the Zapier app.
Zapier supports OAuth 2.0 for this integration. You will authorize the Zapier App Connector to access your GHL Contacts data during setup.

Append notes to contacts when important events occur, keeping the team informed.
Authorize access to GHL and the Zapier App Connector using OAuth 2.0 credentials.
Link your GHL account with Zapier App Connector and select the Contacts API.
Create a workflow that uses triggers like new contacts or updated tasks to drive actions across tools.
No coding is required to set up basic automations with Zapier App Connector. The interface guides you through connecting accounts and mapping fields. For more advanced logic, you can combine multiple steps, filters, and actions to create robust workflows without writing code.
The available endpoints include retrieving contacts, their tasks, notes, and basic CRUD actions for contacts. You can trigger automations on create, update, or delete events and pass data to connected apps.
Authentication is handled via OAuth 2.0. You will authorize the Zapier App Connector to access your GHL data. You can manage credentials securely in Zapier and refresh tokens as needed.
Yes. Webhooks and polling keep data in sync in real time or near real time depending on endpoint support. Configure your triggers to respond to changes and update downstream apps automatically.
Common errors include authentication failures, rate limits, and missing required fields. The Zapier connector surfaces clear messages. Retry logic and built-in backoffs help ensure reliable delivery of data.
API usage is subject to limits defined by your GHL plan. Excess usage may incur throttling. Monitor usage in Zapier task history and GHL dashboards to stay within limits.
Template workflows and example zaps are available in the Zapier app directory and in the GHL documentation. You can customize templates or build your own from scratch using the connector as a starting point.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
