Use OAuth 2.0 with scoped access for contacts.readonly when reading data, and store tokens securely in your Zapier app. Always request only the permissions you need for your workflows.
Kitchen-co uses the OAuth token from your GHL account to authorize requests. Keep tokens in a secure vault, rotate credentials periodically, and apply least-privilege access.
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: when a contact is accessed or updated in Kitchen-co, pull the latest contact data via GET /contacts/:contactId and load related tasks via GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks.
Actions: retrieve contact details, get tasks, and fetch notes for context.
GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, name, email, phone, status, lastUpdated
Trigger: new or updated notes or appointments for a contact.
Actions: GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments
Key fields: noteId, appointmentId, contactId
Trigger: batch sync to keep Kitchen-co in sync with your entire contact base.
Actions: GET /contacts/ to list all contacts, GET /contacts/business/:businessId to fetch business-level data.
GET /contacts/ GET /contacts/business/:businessId
Key fields: contactId, businessId
Fast setup with a no-code Zapier app that connects Kitchen-co to the Contacts API.
Unified data flow and event-driven workflow between systems.
Scalability and audit trails for changes to contacts, tasks, and notes.
Key elements: endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, and data mapping. Understanding methods and paths helps you build reliable flows.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to perform an action against the API.
An event in GHL or Kitchen-co that starts an automation or flow.
A method to verify identity and grant access to APIs.
The path portion of an endpoint that identifies the resource.
Set up a workflow that pulls contact changes and updates fields in Kitchen-co to keep data fresh.
Archive notes and tasks from Contacts API into Kitchen-co for audits and compliance.
Schedule periodic bulk sync using multiple endpoints to maintain parity across systems.
Register Kitchen-co in your GHL account and obtain OAuth tokens.
Select and map endpoints such as GET /contacts/:contactId and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to your Zapier workflow.
Run test calls, verify responses, then enable automation.
Yes, you’ll need to configure a Zapier app connection and authorize Kitchen-co to access your Contacts API. The setup is guided in the app, and you can test calls in a sandbox before going live. If you’re comfortable with OAuth, this is a straightforward process; if not, use the built-in prompts to walk you through token generation and storage. Two-factor authentication and token rotation are recommended for ongoing security.
Use OAuth 2.0 with scoped permissions to access read or write operations as needed. Store tokens securely in your Zapier app and implement refresh token handling. For most read-only integrations, the contacts.readonly scope is sufficient and safer.
A basic sync typically uses GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch a contact, optionally followed by GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to pull related tasks. If you need notes or appointments, include GET /contacts/:contactId/notes and GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments. This set covers core data about a single contact.
Yes. You can update contact fields by sending PUT /contacts/:contactId with the necessary payload. Ensure you have write permissions and proper field mappings. Test changes in a safe environment before deploying to production.
Endpoints are subject to rate limits defined by your API plan. Plan your calls with batching where possible and implement exponential backoff on 429 responses. Monitoring dashboards help you stay within quotas.
When errors occur, inspect the API response codes and messages. Build retry logic for transient errors and provide clear user guidance if authentication or permission issues arise. Logging is essential for diagnosing recurring failures.
Official payload examples are available in your API docs and within the Zapier app’s test console. If examples aren’t provided, you can model requests after the endpoint definitions and adjust fields to match your data structure.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
