Authenticate requests to the GHL Contacts API using your GHL credentials securely so you can access contacts, tasks, notes, and more.
Authorize the Zapier App Connector to access your GHL data via OAuth or API keys, depending on your setup, to enable seamless automation.

The GHL Contacts API lets you read, create, update, and delete contacts and related data such as tasks, notes, appointments, and tags. It supports standard CRUD operations and is designed for integration with external apps like Zapier. You can read individual records or aggregate lists, enabling you to build powerful automations that keep your CRM data aligned across systems.
No coding is required when using Zapier; you can configure triggers and actions through the UI. If you need more control, you can add code steps in Zapier or create custom endpoints to extend functionality.
Endpoints include read and write for contacts and related sub-resources such as tasks and notes. Typical operations include POST /contacts, PUT /contacts/:contactId, DELETE /contacts/:contactId, and reading tasks, notes, and appointments.
Authentication methods include API keys and OAuth tokens; ensure secure storage and permissions. Rotate credentials regularly and grant the least privilege necessary.
Yes, you can sync tasks, notes, and tags along with contact data to maintain consistency across systems. Use field mappings in Zapier to align data.
In Zapier, run a test to fetch sample data and verify field mappings. Check API responses for errors and adjust as needed.
If you encounter rate limits, reduce the call frequency, implement exponential backoff, and batch requests when possible. Use list endpoints for bulk sync and paginate results.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
