Use OAuth 2.0 to authorize your GHL Contacts API access securely within Zapier App Connector.
Configure your Zapier app connection to Contacts API: choose OAuth or API Key, set client ID and secret, and authorize.
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, 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: New or updated contact in GHL; Action: Create or update contact in Zapier App Connector
Actions: Retrieve contact data (GET /contacts/:contactId), create tasks (POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks), add notes (POST /contacts/:contactId/notes), and apply tags (POST /contacts/:contactId/tags).
GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, email, name, status
Trigger: Task created or updated in GHL
Actions: Create/update task (POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId), update notes (POST /contacts/:contactId/notes, PUT /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id)
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: taskId, title, status, dueDate
Trigger: Tag added to contact
Actions: Add tags (POST /contacts/:contactId/tags), fetch business data (GET /contacts/business/:businessId)
POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
Key fields: tag, tagId
No-code automation lets you seamlessly move data between GHL and Zapier App Connector without custom development.
Quick setup with ready-to-use endpoints and triggers helps you realize value faster.
Scalability across multiple endpoints supports growing data needs and complex workflows.
This guide covers endpoints, triggers, actions, field mappings, authentication, and data synchronization processes.
An API is a set of rules that lets software systems talk to each other.
OAuth 2.0 is a secure authorization protocol that lets apps access user data without exposing passwords.
A URL path that represents a specific API function.
An event in GHL that starts a Zapier workflow.
Automatically create a task in your connected app when a new contact is added in GHL.
Use tags to route contacts to different sequences or teams based on engagement.
Aggregate notes from GHL into centralized notes in the connected app for a complete activity history.
Set up OAuth credentials and authorize the connection in Zapier App Connector.
Select the Contacts endpoints you want to monitor and the corresponding actions to perform.
Map data fields between GHL and Zapier App Connector and run tests to ensure correct data flow.
No coding is required. Use the Zapier App Connector interface to set up triggers and actions for the Contacts API. You can build robust automations with clicks, not code. The workflow runs in a secure, hosted environment. The platform handles authentication and API requests behind the scenes.
Yes, OAuth 2.0 is supported for secure authorization. This avoids sharing passwords and allows fine-grained access control. If your setup requires API keys, verify the supported authentication methods in your App Connector configuration.
Available endpoints include: GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, POST /contacts/:contactId/tags, and more. You can pick the endpoints that fit your workflow and leave the rest unused.
Yes. You can create tasks and notes using POST endpoints such as POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks and POST /contacts/:contactId/notes. Updates are supported with PUT requests to the relevant task or note endpoints.
Field mapping is done in Zapier’s UI. Map GHL fields like contactId, email, name, and phone to the corresponding fields in the connected app. Test each mapping to ensure data flows correctly and updates propagate as expected.
Connections use industry-standard TLS encryption, OAuth tokens, and periodic token rotation to protect data in transit and at rest. Regular security reviews are recommended for long-running automations.
If a GHL contact is deleted, you can configure the connector to delete or archive related records in the connected app. This helps maintain data parity or to preserve history based on your data governance policy.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
