To access the Contacts API you use your GHL API key or OAuth token and include it in the Authorization header. Ensure the scope is set to contacts.readonly when reading data
Authenticate the app connector using its supported method such as OAuth 2.0 or an API key. Set up credentials in the app and grant the necessary scopes for contacts data

The GHL Contacts API provides programmatic access to read and manage contact data including tasks notes and tags. It is designed for no code and low code integrations as well as custom apps. This guide focuses on how to connect the GHL Contacts API with the Zapier App Connector for Local Falcon. You can use endpoints to fetch update and organize contact related resources.
No heavy coding is required when using the Zapier App Connector. The connector offers triggers and actions that map to GHL endpoints enabling you to assemble automations with a visual editor. If you need advanced logic you can add steps but most workflows work with no code.
Authentication options include API keys and OAuth tokens as supported by GHL for the various endpoints. In the App Connector you typically configure OAuth 2.0 or API key based credentials and grant the required scopes for access to contacts data.
The available endpoints cover core CRUD operations for contacts plus related resources such as tasks notes and tags. Availability may vary by plan and version. Always consult the endpoint list in this guide for the current set.
Yes you can synchronize notes and tasks between GHL and the App Connector. Use note and task endpoints to keep data aligned across platforms and maintain context for teams.
Field mapping is done in the App Connector UI. Map common contact fields such as id name email and business to your destination fields and handle null values gracefully.
Testing is performed using the App Connector test runs and by sending sample payloads to GHL endpoints. Validate data integrity monitor logs and retry failed requests to ensure a robust integration.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
