GHL provides OAuth 2.0 and API key options to securely access contact data for integration with the Zapier App Connector.
Zapier App Connector uses OAuth 2.0 tokens to authorize calls to the GHL Contacts API and to manage secure credential storage.
– 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 when a contact is created or updated in GHL to sync the contact in the Zapier app and create or update related tasks.
Actions include POST /contacts/ to add a new contact, PUT /contacts/:contactId to update and POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to create tasks.
GET /contacts/:contactId and related write endpoints like POST /contacts/ and POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields are contactId, name, email, phone and status
Trigger when notes or tasks are updated in GHL to reflect changes in the Zapier app.
Actions include GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, and POST /contacts/:contactId/notes to push notes into the app.
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields include contactId, notesId and taskId
Trigger when a batch of contacts is imported or edited in bulk to keep the app in sync.
Actions include POST /contacts/ for bulk import, PUT /contacts/:contactId for updates and DELETE /contacts/:contactId for removals.
POST /contacts/; PUT /contacts/:contactId; DELETE /contacts/:contactId
Key fields include contactId, externalId, and email
Zero code automation between GHL and the Zapier App Connector for faster go live.
Real time data sync across contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments without writing servers.
Easy scaling to add more endpoints as needs evolve or new data types are needed.
The integration uses endpoints, triggers, actions, authentication and data mapping to create reliable automations.
An API is a set of rules that lets software components communicate with each other.
OAuth 2.0 is an authorization framework that grants access to resources via access tokens.
Endpoints are specific URLs that expose resources or actions in the API.
Rate limits cap the number of requests per minute or hour to prevent abuse of the API.
Sync contact records in real time between GHL and your app to keep data consistent across platforms.
Automatically create and update tasks based on external triggers to streamline workflows.
Bridge notes with external events to produce a concise activity timeline in your app.
Obtain the GHL API credentials and set up OAuth credentials for the Zapier App Connector.
Map contact fields to your app fields, and configure triggers and actions for your workflows.
Run tests, then activate the automation and monitor results with dashboards.
GHL supports OAuth 2.0 and API keys for secure access to the Contacts API. Choose the method that matches your security policy and ease of rotation. Zapier App Connector handles token storage and renewal so you can focus on building automations.
Most read operations are available for retrieving contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments. Start with GET /contacts/:contactId and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to explore data retrieval.
Yes. You can create or update contacts and related records from Zapier using endpoints such as POST /contacts/ and PUT /contacts/:contactId. Ensure proper mapping and validation to avoid duplicates.
The API enforces rate limits to protect the service. If you exceed limits, plan retries with backoff and staggered calls in your Zapier workflows.
No heavy coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides a visual workflow builder. Some basic data mapping and testing are helpful to craft reliable automations.
If a run fails, check the task history in Zapier, verify endpoint permissions, and confirm that field mappings match. Look at API error codes to guide fixes.
Begin with reading a contact via GET /contacts/:contactId, then expand to notes and tasks with GET /contacts/:contactId/notes and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to validate data flow.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
