Use your GHL API credentials to securely authorize requests from Zapier. Ensure your app has the contacts.readonly scope enabled.
Configure OAuth or API key in the Zapier app settings to securely sign requests to the GHL Contacts API.
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: New or updated contact in GHL; Actions: Fetch the contact and its tasks using GET /contacts/:contactId and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks.
Actions: Create or update a record in your destination app using the retrieved data; map fields such as contactId, name, email, and related tasks.
GET /contacts/:contactId
contactId, name, email, phone, tasks, notes
Trigger: When a contact’s tasks change in GHL; Actions: Retrieve tasks via GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks and sync with a destination tool.
Actions: Create or update tasks in the destination and keep a taskId mapping consistent.
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
contactId, taskId, status, dueDate
Trigger: A task is marked completed in GHL; Actions: Update the completed flag in the destination.
Actions: Sync completion status, update records, and log the change for auditing.
PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed
contactId, taskId, completed
Automate contact management without writing code.
Achieve real-time data synchronization between GHL and your other apps.
Create flexible workflows with triggers, actions, and endpoint calls.
Core elements to understand when integrating GHL Contacts API with Zapier App Connector include endpoints, HTTP methods, authentication, and data mapping.
An interface that allows software components to communicate and exchange data.
The process of verifying identity and permissions to authorize API requests (OAuth or API keys).
A specific URL path in an API that performs a defined operation, such as retrieving a contact.
An HTTP callback that sends data when a specified event occurs in an app.
Set up a Zapier workflow that triggers on a new contact in GHL and creates a matching contact in your CRM, with notes synced.
When a task changes in GHL, update a task in your PM tool and set a due date based on task data.
Link contact notes from GHL with entries in your knowledge base or support system for quick reference.
Collect your API credentials, add the GHL app to Zapier, and configure authentication (OAuth or API key).
Select the necessary endpoints (for example, GET /contacts/:contactId and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks), and design your trigger/action sequence in Zapier.
Run tests to ensure data maps correctly, then deploy and monitor the integration.
The GHL Contacts API provides programmatic access to contact data within your GHL account through REST endpoints. Zapier App Connector uses these endpoints to pull, create, update, and sync contacts and related data. This enables no-code automation between your CRM data and other apps. The Iterate page focuses on reading and coordinating data between systems.
The Iterate page exposes endpoints for retrieving a single contact, its tasks, notes, and related resources. It also includes endpoints to fetch multiple contacts, businesses, appointments, and tags as needed. Use these endpoints to compose end-to-end automations in Zapier.
Authentication is typically done via OAuth or an API key. Ensure the app has the contacts.readonly scope for read operations and secure token storage within Zapier. Rotate credentials as recommended by security best practices.
Yes. This integration is designed for no-code automation. Use Zapier triggers and actions to connect GHL data with other apps, mapping fields without writing code. If advanced logic is needed, you can add filters and paths in Zapier.
Yes. You can fetch a contact’s tasks and notes using the provided endpoints. You can chain multiple endpoints in a single Zap to build a complete workflow that moves data between GHL and other tools.
Zapier includes built-in retry logic and error handling. For API errors, use the provided status codes to decide when to retry, back off, or alert. Maintain logs and dashboards to diagnose failures quickly.
Endpoint documentation for the GHL Contacts API is available in the API docs. This page summarizes the Iterate endpoints and examples for common flows. For full details, refer to the official GHL developer docs.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
