Authenticate requests to the Contacts API using OAuth 2.0 with the scope: contacts.readonly, ensuring secure access and compliant data handling.
Set up OAuth credentials for the Zapier App Connector to authorize with the Contacts API and define required scopes for reading and managing contact data.
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; 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, fetch contact details via GET /contacts/:contactId.
Actions: Create or update a contact (POST /contacts and PUT /contacts/:contactId), retrieve related tasks (GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks).
GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, name, email, phone
Trigger: New or updated tasks for a contact via the tasks endpoints.
Actions: Create or update a task (POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId), mark as completed (PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed).
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: contactId, taskId, title, status
Trigger: Note or appointment changes for a contact.
Actions: Create or update a note (POST /contacts/:contactId/notes, PUT /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id), retrieve appointments (GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments).
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
Key fields: contactId, noteId, content, dateCreated
Automate routine workflows without custom code using triggers and actions in Zapier.
Prototype and deploy integrations quickly with a visual mapping of endpoints to triggers and actions.
Keep data in sync across GHL and external apps through Zapier’s automation layer.
This section defines API endpoints, triggers, actions, and data flows used in building connections between GHL’s Contacts API and the Zapier App Connector.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to access a resource in an API.
Verification of identity and permission to access a resource, typically via OAuth 2.0 tokens.
An event that starts an automation in Zapier when it occurs in the app.
The data sent with a request or returned in a response from an API.
When a new contact is created in GHL, automatically create a starter task in the Zapier App Connector and assign it to the owner.
Pull notes from the Contacts API and log them as activities in the connected app for a complete history.
Link tasks with appointments to provide a unified view of work and meetings.
Obtain OAuth tokens and set the required scopes for reading contacts.
Create Zapier workflows that map API endpoints to triggers and actions in your apps.
Run tests, validate data flow, and deploy to production.
No; this is designed for no code or low code use with the Zapier App Connector. You can configure triggers and actions through the UI without writing code. The app provides friendly mapping to endpoints.
OAuth 2.0 is used for secure access. You will authorize the app and receive access tokens. Refresh tokens help maintain access to the API.
The guide covers endpoints for contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments and explains how to use them in triggers and actions.
Use the test feature in Zapier to run sample requests against the endpoints and verify responses and data mappings.
Yes. You can create and update contacts across connected apps using the supported POST and PUT endpoints.
Webhooks can notify your app of changes in GHL data and trigger workflows in Zapier.
API rate limits are documented in the GHL API docs; plan requests accordingly and use pagination where available.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
