Start by obtaining your GHL API credentials and ensuring your token has the scope needed for reading contacts (for example, contacts.readonly). Then connect the GHL account inside the Zapier App Connector settings.
Grant Mailparser permission to access your Contacts data in GHL using the app connector. Scope: contacts.readonly. Use OAuth or API key depending on your setup.

Methods/paths: POST /contacts/ to create, PUT /contacts/:contactId to update, with field mappings.
Key fields: contactId, name, email, company, tags, notes
Trigger: Mailparser detects a task or follow up requirement in an email.
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to create a task; include title, due date, and status.
Methods/paths: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId to modify.
Key fields: contactId, task title, due date, taskId, status
Trigger: Mailparser extracts notes or tags from the email.
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/notes to add notes; POST /contacts/:contactId/tags to apply tags.
Methods/paths: POST /contacts/:contactId/notes; POST /contacts/:contactId/tags.
Key fields: contactId, note content, tag names
Automate data capture from emails into your CRM without writing code.
Reduce manual data entry and human error through consistent field mapping.
Speed up onboarding and scale with the Zapier App Connector.
Here’s a quick glossary of terms and the processes used in this no code integration.
GHL is a CRM and marketing platform that exposes API endpoints for programmatic data access.
A specific URL path and HTTP method that performs an action in the GHL API.
Individuals stored in the Contacts module, including names, emails, companies, and custom fields.
Text entries attached to a contact to capture context and history.
Parse sender name, email, company, and phone from emails to create new Contacts in GHL.
Turn parsed email action items into tasks linked to the contact.
Add contextual notes and clean up tags based on email content.
Obtain GHL API credentials and confirm the scope includes contacts.readonly.
In Zapier, choose Mailparser as the trigger app and GHL Contacts API as the action app; authenticate both.
Create a Zap: trigger from Mailparser and action to create or update contacts, tasks, notes, and tags in GHL.
Mailparser can extract fields from incoming emails such as sender name, email address, company, phone number, and custom fields you specify. This data can be used to create new Contacts in GHL or update existing ones. Map parsed data to the corresponding GHL contact fields for a clean data flow.
No coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides a visual workflow builder. You configure triggers and actions using a drag and drop interface.
Essential endpoints for syncing include GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/, POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, POST /contacts/:contactId/notes, and POST /contacts/:contactId/tags. These endpoints let you create, read, update, and organize contacts, tasks, notes, and tags from Mailparser data.
If an error occurs, the Zapier connector surfaces error messages and supports retries with exponential backoff. For rate limits, spread actions, batch requests when possible, and monitor via built in logs and dashboards.
Yes. You can update existing contacts with PUT /contacts/:contactId after matching on unique fields like email. Design your workflow to handle duplicates gracefully by normalizing keys.
Notes and tags can be added or updated via POST /contacts/:contactId/notes and POST /contacts/:contactId/tags. This enables richer context and segmentation for reporting.
Security is maintained through token based authentication (OAuth 2.0 or API keys) and encrypted connections. Rotate credentials regularly and follow best practices.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
