Authorize requests with your GHL access token. Include the token in the Authorization header as a Bearer token and refresh as needed to maintain secure access.
In Zapier, connect the Zapier App Connector to your GHL account and grant permissions. The connector will securely manage tokens and rotate credentials as required.

For authentication, you will use a GHL access token passed in the Authorization header as a Bearer token. This ensures secure requests and supports token refresh when needed. In Zapier, your App Connector securely stores and rotates credentials for ongoing access.
The Contacts API exposes endpoints to fetch a single contact, their tasks, notes, and appointments, as well as listing all contacts and filtering by business. Use GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments, GET /contacts/ to retrieve data.
Yes. You can create and update contacts via POST /contacts/ and PUT /contacts/:contactId. Zapier can map form fields in your app to the GHL contact fields and keep records synchronized.
GHL enforces rate limits on API calls. Build resilient flows with retries, backoff, and batched requests where supported. Use pagination for large lists and respect per-page limits.
Webhooks provide real-time updates in supported endpoints. If available, configure webhooks to push changes to Zapier or your app of record for near-instant synchronization.
Notes and tasks can be retrieved via GET /contacts/:contactId/notes and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks. You can also update or create these records through POST and PUT operations.
Map fields between GHL and your app using Zapier’s field mapping. Align identifiers like contactId, email, and status to keep data in sync and maintain data integrity.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
