Use OAuth 2.0 to grant access to your GHL account. In the Zapier App Connector, configure the OAuth flow and securely store access and refresh tokens.
During setup, authorize the Zapier App Connector to access Contacts data. Tokens refresh automatically as configured.

Fast setup with no coding required, enabling rapid automation.
Automated workflows cut manual data entry and improve accuracy.
Real-time data sync across CRM, task management, and notes apps.
This glossary covers endpoints, triggers, actions, and field names used throughout the integration guide.
Application Programming Interface that enables apps to request and exchange data with the GHL Contacts API.
An authorization framework that allows apps to obtain limited access to user data securely.
A specific URL path in the API used to perform a function such as read or write data.
A mechanism for the API to send real-time notifications to your app when events occur.
Capture new leads from landing pages and push them into Contacts API via Zapier.
Whenever a contact updates, create a follow-up task in your team’s task manager.
Attach notes from the Notes endpoint to contact records to provide teammates with context.
Grant Zapier App Connector access to GHL Contacts data through OAuth 2.0.
Choose GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE actions that reflect your workflow.
Run tests to verify data mapping, then deploy the solution to production.
The Contacts API lets you read and write contact data, and manage related items like tasks, notes, and appointments. Use it to synchronize contact records across your tools without leaving your workflow. By connecting through the Zapier App Connector, you can automate data movement with no code.
Authenticate using OAuth 2.0. In the Zapier App Connector, register your GHL account to obtain client credentials, authorize access, and securely store tokens. The connector will refresh tokens automatically as needed.
Available endpoints cover retrieving and updating contacts, fetching related tasks, notes, and appointments, and basic management actions like creating or deleting records. The list includes endpoints for bulk listing, single-item operations, and relationship navigation (e.g., a contact’s tasks or notes).
Yes. You can create tasks, notes, and tags for contacts via the app. Use POST and PUT operations to add or modify these related items and reflect changes in downstream apps.
Data sync can be near real-time when the Zap runs on trigger events. In practice, latency depends on endpoint type, debounce settings, and the polling cadence of your Zaps.
No traditional coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides a no-code interface to map endpoints, triggers, and actions, enabling rapid setup and maintenance.
API documentation is available in the GHL developer portal. Look for the Contacts API reference, OAuth setup guides, and endpoint descriptions to understand capabilities and authentication steps.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
