Authenticate the Contacts API with your GHL credentials to securely access contact data via the App Connector.
Authorize Zapier App Connector to act on your GHL data using secure tokens and OAuth or API keys.

No coding is required to connect the GHL Contacts API with the Zapier App Connector. The platform provides triggers, actions, and built-in field mappings. You can assemble automations by choosing a trigger, then selecting actions to modify contact data or create new records.
The Contacts API exposes endpoints for reading and manipulating contacts, tasks, notes, appointments, and tags. Common endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, POST /contacts/, and POST /contacts/:contactId/notes. Map these endpoints in Zapier to drive your workflows without writing code.
Authentication can use API keys or OAuth tokens. Keep tokens secure, rotate credentials periodically, and apply least-privilege access. Use the App Connector and GHL settings to configure credentials and monitor usage from the dashboard.
Yes. You can fetch and manage a contact’s tasks, notes, and tags via endpoints like GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes. Zapier can then surface these data points as triggers or actions in your workflows.
Absolutely. The integration is designed for no-code automations. Use drag-and-drop workflow builders to connect triggers to actions across Contacts API resources without writing code.
Respect API rate limits by spreading requests, batching when supported, and caching results where possible. Use retries with exponential backoff and monitor quotas in the app dashboards.
Webhooks can be used to push updates from GHL to Zapier. Configure webhook events for contact changes, tasks, or notes, and have Zapier respond with downstream actions or alerts.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
