Authenticate the GHL Contacts API to enable secure access to contact records, tasks, notes, and appointments. Use OAuth or API key methods supported by your GHL workspace to establish trusted connections.
Authorize the Zapier App Connector to perform actions on your GHL Contacts data. This involves granting permissions for read and write operations as configured in your Zapier connection settings.
Key endpoints 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. These endpoints form the backbone of data access and updates between GHL and the Zapier App Connector.
Trigger on contact update to pull in the latest tasks, notes, and appointments for downstream automations.
Actions include creating or updating tasks, notes, or tags and pushing status changes back to the contact record.
GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId
contactId, taskId, status, dueDate
Trigger when a contact is accessed to pull a snapshot of notes and business relationships.
Actions mainly involve data retrieval and field mapping for reporting and dashboards.
GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, GET /contacts/business/:businessId
contactId, businessId, notesId
Trigger on new form submissions or lead captures to create a contact and assign initial tasks and tags.
Actions include POST /contacts/, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, POST /contacts/:contactId/tags to classify and route records.
POST /contacts/, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
contactId, taskId, tagNames
Automate data flows between Kizeo Forms (via GHL Contacts API) and your apps without writing code.
Bi-directional data updates ensure contacts stay in sync across systems with minimal manual effort.
Fast setup with ready-made endpoints and field mappings that scale with your business.
Understand essential terms and processes used in this guide to maximize your GHL and Zapier integration.
API stands for Application Programming Interface—an interface that lets apps talk to each other and exchange data securely.
An endpoint is a specific URL in an API that performs a defined action, such as retrieving a contact or updating a task.
Authentication verifies who you are and grants permission to access data through tokens, keys, or OAuth flows.
A webhook is a way for an app to provide real-time data to another app by sending an HTTP POST when an event occurs.
Whenever a Kizeo Form submission occurs, create or update the related contact in GHL, assign tasks, and attach notes automatically.
Pull notes from the Contacts API and echo them into your CRM timeline, keeping all teammates informed.
Use tags from contacts to route leads to different workflows and auto-create follow-up tasks.
Establish a secure connection between GHL and Zapier by authenticating with your API credentials and validating access to contact data.
Configure field mappings for contactId, tasks, notes, and tags using the endpoints listed in the guide.
Create Zapier workflows that respond to form submissions or contact updates and test end-to-end data flows.
The GHL Contacts API exposes core resources such as contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments. This integration uses those endpoints to read and update data, enabling automated workflows between Kizeo Forms submissions and your GHL CRM. No-code automation is possible using Zapier App Connector to trigger actions based on events from Kizeo Forms or GHL data changes.
Basic setup can be done without custom code by using Zapier’s built-in authentication and step-by-step connection flows. If you require advanced field mappings or complex authorization schemes, you may reference the API documentation and adjust mappings in your Zapier app. Most teams can complete essential setups in under an hour.
Yes. You can create tasks, update task status, and attach notes or tags to contacts from Zapier. This enables automation of follow-ups and progress tracking directly within GHL, driven by Kizeo Forms activity or other triggers.
If an endpoint returns an error, Zapier will surface the error message. You can configure retries, fallback paths, and alerting within Zapier workflows to handle transient issues gracefully and keep data consistent.
GHL and Zapier endpoints may be subject to rate limits. Plan your automations to batch or stagger requests where possible, and implement backoff strategies in your Zapier workflows to respect limits and avoid failures.
Field mapping examples are available in the endpoint reference sections of this guide. You can copy sample mappings for contactId, taskId, notesId, and tags, then adapt them to your specific data schema.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
