Authenticate using a secure method such as OAuth 2.0 or API keys to ensure all API calls are authorized and traceable. This protects sensitive contact data while enabling seamless automation.
Zapier App Connector uses OAuth 2.0 to securely connect to your GHL account, manage permissions, and refresh tokens automatically as part of a frictionless integration experience.
– GET /contacts/:contactId – GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks – GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId – GET /contacts/:contactId/notes – GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id – GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments – GET /contacts/ – GET /contacts/business/:businessId – contacts.write – POST /contacts/ – PUT /contacts/:contactId – DELETE /contacts/:contactId – POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks – PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId – PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed – DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId – POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
Trigger when a contact is created or updated to keep data synchronized across systems.
Actions include creating or updating a contact, assigning tasks, and attaching notes.
Typical paths: POST /contacts/ for creation and PUT /contacts/:contactId for updates.
Key fields: email, name, phone, businessId, contactId.
Trigger when a task or note is added/updated for a contact.
Actions: retrieve, create, update, or delete tasks; attach notes; manage completions.
Common methods include GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes; updates via PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId.
Key fields: contactId, taskId, noteId, status, dueDate.
Trigger when a new note is created or an appointment is scheduled for a contact.
Actions: create notes, schedule appointments, and link them to the contact record.
Typical paths include GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments, and POST /contacts/:contactId/notes.
Key fields: contactId, noteId, appointmentId.

Definitions of core elements and the steps to implement a robust integration between the GHL Contacts API and the Zapier App Connector.
A RESTful API that lets you manage contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments for CRM workflows.
A specific API URL path you call to perform an action, e.g., GET /contacts/:contactId.
The method used to verify identity, typically OAuth 2.0 or API keys.
A real-time notification mechanism that informs your app about events as they happen.
Capture incoming leads and automatically create follow-up tasks and notes in GHL via the API and Zapier for faster qualification.
Aggregate contact updates into shared dashboards using webhooks and Zapier actions for transparent teamwork.
Log changes to contacts, tasks, and notes to build rich reports and audit trails.
Grant the necessary permissions in GHL and in the Zapier app to allow API calls.
Select the endpoints you need and map fields between systems to ensure data aligns correctly.
Run test workflows, verify data flow, and enable live automation.
The Contacts API is a RESTful interface that lets you manage contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments programmatically. It enables developers and automation platforms to read, create, update, and delete data inside your CRM. By connecting through Zapier App Connector, you can orchestrate these actions without writing code. This makes it simple to automate outreach, follow-ups, and record-keeping across your tools. Using the integration, you can build reliable data flows, trigger actions from events, and ensure your teams stay aligned with real-time updates.
No extensive coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides a visual workflow builder that maps triggers to actions and endpoints. You will authenticate, select endpoints, and configure field mappings to move data between Contacts API and your other apps. Some basic familiarity with API concepts helps, but the setup itself is designed for non-developers too.
The integration supports OAuth 2.0 and API keys for authentication. OAuth 2.0 provides a secure, token-based approach suitable for long-lived connections. API keys offer a straightforward option for read-only or trusted-service access. Choose the method that aligns with your security policies and refresh behavior.
Field mapping is done in the Zapier App Connector setup. You select source fields from the triggering app and destination fields in Contacts API, aligning data types and formats. This ensures, for example, that a contact name, email, and phone number flow correctly into the Contacts API records.
Yes. You can configure triggers such as new or updated contacts, or changes to tasks and notes. Each trigger can initiate a series of actions—creating, updating, or deleting records—to keep all connected systems synchronized.
Security is built into the integration through standard authentication methods, encrypted data transfer, and audit logs. Access can be restricted by scopes, and token lifecycles are managed to minimize risk. Always follow best practices for credentials and rotate keys or tokens as recommended.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
