Create an automation that pulls a new contact and creates a record in your CRM via Zapier
When a task is updated in the PM tool, reflect changes in GHL via the API
Attach notes from notes apps to GHL contacts to enrich context
Create a connected account in Zapier and authorize the GHL Contacts API
Choose endpoints like Get contact and List tasks to pull related data
Run tests, validate data flow, and deploy to automations
The Contacts API is a RESTful interface that lets you read and manage contact data. You can fetch a single contact, its tasks, notes, and more using simple HTTP requests. It is designed to work with a no code tool like the Zapier App Connector to automate workflows and keep data synchronized across apps. The API is designed for easy integration and supports programmatic access from automation tools without writing code.
The API provides endpoints to list and retrieve contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments as well as create and update records. You can combine these endpoints in Zapier to build triggers and actions that fit your business processes. Mix and match endpoints to assemble the data you need in your automations.
Authentication is done via OAuth 2.0 with scopes such as contacts.readonly to limit access. Create a connected account in Zapier to securely manage credentials and tokens. Use the connected account in your workflows to perform read only or write operations as allowed by the granted scope.
Yes you can update contacts and tasks using PUT endpoints like /contacts/:contactId and /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId. Ensure your connected app has the proper write permissions and that the user token has the required scope to perform updates.
No heavy coding is required. Zapier App Connector provides a no code interface to map fields and configure actions. If needed you can add small code steps, but most automations run entirely with triggers and actions.
Test the connection from Zapier using the test connection flow and sample data. Validate data mapping and error handling to ensure reliable workflows before going live.
Example workflows include adding new contacts to your CRM when created in GHL and updating task status as work progresses. You can also attach notes and tags to contact records to enrich CRM data and improve segmentation.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
