To access the Contacts API securely, authenticate with OAuth 2.0 and grant the Zapier App Connector permission to read and write contact data within your GHL account.
In the Zapier App Connector, connect using OAuth or an API token to authorize calls to the Contacts API. Store tokens securely and rotate credentials regularly.
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 in GHL and push changes to Zapier-enabled apps.
Actions include creating or updating the corresponding contact record in the destination app.
Methods typically used: POST /contacts/ and PUT /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: id, email, firstName, lastName, phone
Trigger when a new task is created under a contact in GHL.
Action to create or update a task in the destination app.
Methods: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: taskId, title, dueDate, status
Trigger when notes are added or updated for a contact.
Action to create or update notes in the destination app.
Methods: POST /contacts/:contactId/notes
Key fields: noteId, content, date
Build powerful automations in minutes with a visual workflow builder—no coding required.
Easily map fields and triggers between apps to keep data in sync without wrote code.
Scale processes with reusable templates, error handling, and monitoring baked in.
This glossary covers terms used in GHL and Zapier integrations, including endpoint, trigger, action, field mappings, authentication, and data sync concepts.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to interact with the GHL API.
An event in GHL that starts a Zapier workflow.
An operation performed in the connected app as a result of a Zapier workflow.
A data point within a contact, task, or note.
When a new lead enters GHL, automatically create a contact in your CRM via the Zapier App Connector and assign a task for follow-up.
Use source data to assign tags that route contacts to the right team or campaign.
Keep important notes in sync between GHL and your notes app to preserve context for reps.
Connect your GHL account to the Zapier App Connector and grant the required read/write permissions for Contacts.
Define how contact fields align between GHL and the destination app and select the endpoints to use for each action.
Run tests, validate data flow, and deploy automations, then monitor for any errors or retries.
Yes. The integration uses OAuth 2.0 and encrypted connections to ensure your data remains secure in transit and at rest. You control scopes and permissions from your GHL account, and Zapier App Connector follows best-practice security standards. Regular token rotation and auditing are recommended to maintain compliance. For sensitive workflows, enable IP allowlists and monitor access logs in both GHL and Zapier.
You can read endpoints like GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, and more. Write capabilities include POST /contacts/, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, PUT /contacts/:contactId, and similar endpoints for updating tasks and notes. The exact set you enable depends on the permissions granted in GHL and the Zapier App Connector configuration.
No heavy coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides a visual workflow builder to connect GHL endpoints with your other apps. You can map fields, set triggers, and define actions using a drag-and-drop interface. Some advanced scenarios may benefit from small scripting or custom fields, but it is not required for standard integrations.
Yes. You can apply filters and mappings to control which contacts are synced, which tasks are created, and which notes are transferred. Use conditional logic in your Zapier workflow to limit data based on fields like status, source, or tag.
Errors are surfaced in the Zapier task history. Retries are built-in with exponential backoff. You can configure retry rules and timeouts in your Zapier workflow, plus receive alerts if a persistent failure occurs so you can adjust mappings or permissions.
Yes. You can sync notes and tasks associated with contacts. The endpoints for notes and tasks support creation and updates, enabling you to preserve context across systems and keep all records up to date.
Endpoint definitions, field mappings, and example payloads are documented in the connection guide within the Zapier App Connector. You can view detailed endpoint paths, required fields, and suggested mappings to accelerate setup.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
