Authenticate with the Contacts API using OAuth 2.0 to read contact data. Use your GHL credentials and ensure the scope is set to contacts.readonly.
In Zapier App Connector, configure OAuth 2.0 with the same scope (contacts.readonly) and securely store client credentials. Zapier handles token refresh automatically.
The endpoint list used by this integration includes read and write operations such as GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId, DELETE /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, POST /contacts/:contactId/notes, and POST /contacts/:contactId/tags, among others. The full set contains multiple endpoints (54 in the referenced catalog) to support contacts, tasks, notes, and related resources for comprehensive automation.
Trigger: when a contact is created or updated in GHL, create or update the corresponding Outlook contact.
Actions: create or update Outlook contact; sync essential fields like name, email, phone, and company; optionally attach notes.
PUT /contacts/:contactId
contactId, firstName, lastName, email, phone, company
Trigger: new or updated tasks for a contact in GHL.
Actions: create or update Outlook tasks; mirror subject, due date, and status; link to the contact.
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
taskId, subject, dueDate, status
Trigger: notes added or updated for a contact in GHL.
Actions: create Outlook notes and attach to the related contact; sync note content.
POST /contacts/:contactId/notes
noteId, content, createdDate
No coding required to automate Outlook contacts, notes, and tasks
Visual workflow builder with triggers and actions for easy data flow
Centralized data sync without custom development
Key elements include endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, and data mapping between GHL Contacts API and Zapier App Connector.
A set of rules that allows software to communicate with each other and perform actions like fetching and updating contacts.
A specific URL path in an API that performs a defined operation, such as GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch a contact.
An event in one system that starts an automated workflow in another, such as a new or updated contact in GHL.
A task performed by an integration in response to a trigger, such as creating an Outlook contact.
Whenever a new contact is added in GHL, automatically create a corresponding contact in Outlook with mapped fields like name, email, and phone.
When a contact task is updated in GHL, create or update an Outlook task and keep due dates synchronized.
Automatically attach notes added in GHL to the related Outlook contact for a complete history.
Set up OAuth 2.0 with your GHL and Zapier credentials and grant the necessary scopes.
Map contact fields from GHL to Outlook fields in your Zap templates.
Enable triggers in Zapier and run tests to ensure data flows correctly between GHL and Outlook.
No coding is required. Use prebuilt Zap templates and drag-and-drop steps to configure triggers and actions. You can customize mappings and filters to fit your workflow. If you need more control, you can add advanced steps or webhooks.
You can sync core fields like name, email, phone, and company, plus related notes, tasks, and appointments. The scope controls read access for safety. Changes in GHL reflect in Outlook based on your trigger settings.
OAuth 2.0 is used for secure access. Zapier handles token refresh automatically. You may also use API keys if your org requires them.
Yes, there are rate limits defined by the API plan. In practice, typical workflows stay within limits. For heavy usage, contact support to discuss higher quotas.
Yes. You can customize mapping by selecting fields in the Zap template and using built-in transform steps. You can also add conditional logic with filters.
Check the connection status in Zapier, re-authenticate if needed, and verify scopes. Look for error messages and enable test mode. Enable logging to diagnose issues.
Most Outlook web and desktop clients are supported. If you rely on a specific version, verify compatibility in your environment.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
