To access the Contacts API, authenticate with OAuth 2.0 via your GHL account and grant the requested scope: contacts.readonly. The connector handles token storage and refresh for a seamless experience.
In Zapier, connect your GHL account and select the Contacts API scope. The Zapier App Connector will securely manage tokens and refresh them as needed.
Key endpoints: GET /contacts/:contactId (retrieve a contact); GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks (list tasks for a contact); GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId (get a task); GET /contacts/:contactId/notes (list notes); GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id (get a note); GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments (list appointments); GET /contacts/ (list all contacts); GET /contacts/business/:businessId (list contacts for a business); POST /contacts/ (create); PUT /contacts/:contactId (update); DELETE /contacts/:contactId (delete); POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks (create a task); PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId (update a task); PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed (mark task complete); DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId (delete a task); POST /contacts/:contactId/tags (tag a contact).
Trigger: When a contact is created or updated in LeagueApps, pull core fields to keep your CRM in sync.
Actions: Retrieve /contacts/:contactId to map id, name, email, and phone into your CRM; update if changes are detected.
Endpoint: GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, email, firstName, lastName, phone
Trigger: Task created or updated for a contact
Actions: Fetch /contacts/:contactId/tasks and create or update CRM tasks with status, dueDate, and title
Endpoint: GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: contactId, taskId, taskName, dueDate, status
Trigger: Notes added or updated for a contact
Actions: Retrieve /contacts/:contactId/notes and push to CRM notes; keep history in sync
Endpoint: GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
Key fields: contactId, noteId, noteContent, createdDate
No-code integration lets you connect LeagueApps data to your CRM and internal tools without writing a line of code.
Automate data flows with triggers and actions, reducing manual data entry and errors.
Rely on secure token management and scalable data sync via Zapier’s platform.
This section defines the main elements: API endpoints, authentication, data mapping, and workflow logic that power your integration.
A specific URL call in the GHL API that performs a defined action, such as retrieving a contact or creating a task.
The process of proving identity to access the GHL API, typically via OAuth 2.0 tokens and secure storage.
A mechanism to renew expired access tokens without user intervention, ensuring uninterrupted API access.
A callback URL that gets triggered by events in GHL to notify your app of changes in data.
Set up a Zap to create a LeagueApps task whenever a contact’s status changes in your CRM, ensuring team awareness.
Push new and updated notes from Contacts API into your CRM’s notes history for complete context.
Schedule periodic pulls of contact data to populate dashboards and reports with fresh information.
In Zapier, click Connect and authorize access to your GHL account to enable the Contacts API.
Map relevant fields from Contacts API (contactId, email, etc.) to your destination app fields.
Create a test Zap to verify triggers, actions, and endpoint calls work as intended.
Authorization in Zapier uses OAuth 2.0 to obtain an access token from GHL with the Contacts API scope. In your Zapier account, select Connect and complete the OAuth flow to grant permissions. Once connected, Zapier will request new tokens as needed and store them securely. This ensures ongoing access without manual token management.
The Contacts API exposes endpoints to get contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments. You can retrieve lists and individual items, and create or update records through POST, PUT, and DELETE calls where permitted. In the Zapier App Connector, you will see triggers (events) and actions (API calls) mapped to these endpoints to build your flows.
Yes. You can create, update, and delete contacts via the API endpoints or via Zapier actions, subject to permissions. Ensure the correct scope (contacts.readonly or broader) and provide the required fields, including contactId for updates. Always test changes on staging data first.
The default approach is polling at configured intervals in Zapier, but webhooks can be used when available to push updates in real time. If a webhook isn’t supported for a specific endpoint, rely on periodic polling for reliability.
Use Zapier’s field mapping to align GHL contact fields with your destination app fields. Convert formats where needed (dates, phone numbers) and validate mappings with test records to prevent errors.
Rate limits depend on your GHL and Zapier plans. If you hit limits, stagger requests, add retries, and batch calls where possible to minimize traffic while keeping data fresh.
To troubleshoot, verify OAuth scopes, confirm endpoint availability, review field mappings, and check Zapier task history for errors. Enable additional logging and test individual endpoints with a REST client to isolate issues.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
