No coding required. The Zapier App Connector provides a visual interface to configure endpoints and actions for your Contacts API workflows. For more complex automations, you can combine multiple steps, filters, and delays. If you need help, consult the docs or reach out to support for guidance.
The core endpoints for basic CRM tasks are GET /contacts/:contactId to read a contact, POST /contacts/ to create, PUT /contacts/:contactId to update, and DELETE /contacts/:contactId to remove a contact. Additional endpoints like POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks support task management and help automate follow-ups.
Yes, the GHL API enforces rate limits. If you exceed them, requests may be throttled. Design your workflows to minimize requests, and use backoff strategies. The Zapier app will surface errors with clear guidance.
Yes. You can retrieve notes and appointments with GET /contacts/:contactId/notes and GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments. You can also create notes with POST /contacts/:contactId/notes to capture context alongside your tasks and events.
Use OAuth 2.0 for secure access. Pair your GHL credentials with the Zapier app to obtain short-lived access tokens. Store tokens securely, refresh before expiry, and avoid embedding secrets in your workflows.
Endpoints are the URLs and HTTP methods you call to read, create, update, or delete data. Actions are the automated steps in Zapier that trigger those calls as part of a workflow.
Endpoint examples and the latest updates are documented in the official GHL developer docs and the Zapier App Connector guide. Check changelogs and the doc site regularly to stay informed about new endpoints and capabilities.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
