Use your GHL OAuth 2.0 access token to authorize requests from the Zapier App Connector with the defined scope.
In Zapier connect the Contacts API by following the OAuth flow and grant the required scopes such as contacts.readonly to minimize access.

This glossary defines endpoints authentication flows triggers actions and data fields used to integrate the GHL Contacts API with the Zapier App Connector.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to access a resource in an API.
The process of proving identity to access protected resources typically via OAuth tokens or API keys.
A person entry in the GHL Contacts database.
A unit of work linked to a contact such as a follow up task.
Automatically create a starter task in connected apps when a new contact is added in GHL to kick off follow ups.
Push notes from GHL into related apps via Zapier to keep records complete.
Automatically apply tags or segments when the contact status changes in GHL.
Authorize your GHL account and grant the required scope: contacts.readonly.
Select triggers such as new contact contact updated or task completed.
Map GHL fields to Zapier app fields and run a test to verify data flow.
The Contacts API exposes resources for managing contacts tasks notes and appointments within GHL. It enables reading and updating data from connected apps. Use the scope provided (for example readonly) to control access. Always follow secure authentication and least privilege practices when connecting through Zapier App Connector.
No coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides a no code interface to map fields set triggers and configure actions. For advanced scenarios you can still tailor webhooks and custom requests within Zapier, but the typical flow is designer based.
The endpoints cover core resources: contacts tasks notes and appointments. You can read and create resources update fields and delete items as needed. Review the Endpoint List for exact paths and methods.
Yes you can create and update contacts and related data through supported endpoints. Use POST for creation and PUT for updates respecting permissions and rate limits.
GHL enforces rate limits based on your plan and token scope. If you hit limits implement batching caching or scheduled runs in Zapier to stay within quotas.
In Zapier run a test by pulling a sample contact review mapped fields and verify data flows to connected apps. Use the built in test feature and logs for debugging.
Zapier provides task histories app connection logs and error messages. Check Zapier task history and the app’s connection settings to troubleshoot issues.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
