Use your GHL API key or OAuth token to securely request data from the Contacts API. Store credentials securely in Zapier’s connection settings and rotate keys regularly.
Zapier uses per‑account connections with OAuth2 or API keys depending on the app. Create a Zapier connection for the GHL Contacts API to enable seamless data flow to Onfleet.
– GET /contacts/:contactId — Retrieve a single contact. – GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks — List tasks for a contact. – GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Get details of a specific task for a contact. – GET /contacts/:contactId/notes — List notes for a contact. – GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id — Get a specific note for a contact. – GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments — List appointments for a contact. – GET /contacts/ — List all contacts. – GET /contacts/business/:businessId — List contacts for a business. – contacts.write — Scope for write access. – POST /contacts/ — Create a new contact. – PUT /contacts/:contactId — Update a contact. – DELETE /contacts/:contactId — Delete a contact. – POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks — Create a task for a contact. – PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Update a task. – PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed — Mark a task as completed. – DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Delete a task. – POST /contacts/:contactId/tags — Add tags to a contact.
Trigger: When a contact is created or updated in GHL (GET /contacts/:contactId) and use a fetch to pull latest data.
Action: Create or update the corresponding contact in Onfleet via Zapier; update tasks/notes if needed.
Method path example: GET /contacts/:contactId followed by POST /contacts/ to Onfleet via Zapier.
Key fields: contactId, name, email, phone, businessId
Trigger: new or updated tasks on a contact (POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks).
Action: create a corresponding task in Onfleet; map status to completed or in‑progress.
Method path: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks -> create task, then sync to Onfleet.
contactId, taskId, dueDate, status, notes
Trigger: notes or appointments on a contact updated (GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments).
Action: attach notes to Onfleet job or create a new task with appointment context.
Method path: GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments; POST/PUT to Onfleet as needed.
contactId, noteId, appointmentId, summary
Automate routine data flows between GHL and Onfleet without writing code.
Centralize contact data, tasks, and notes for faster delivery operations.
Rapid deployment: test in a single Zap and reuse across teams.
A quick glossary of terms used in this integration and how they map to data flows between GHL Contacts API and the Zapier App Connector for Onfleet.
Application Programming Interface: a set of endpoints and protocols used to exchange data between GHL, Zapier, and Onfleet.
The process of verifying identity to access data; use API keys or OAuth tokens per the app’s security model.
An event that starts a Zap workflow, such as a new contact, new task, or updated note.
A method for sending real-time data between apps; used sparingly on polling-based integrations.
Set up a Zap that listens for new contacts in GHL and creates a corresponding Onfleet assignment with mapped fields.
When a contact’s status changes, automatically adjust related Onfleet tasks to reflect new priority or routing.
Attach contact notes and appointment data to Onfleet jobs to improve delivery context and customer communication.
Obtain GHL API key or OAuth token and configure a Zapier connection for the Contacts API.
Create a Zap with a GHL Contacts API trigger and map fields to Onfleet actions via the Zapier App Connector.
Test the workflow end-to-end, enable live runs, and monitor logs for any errors.
You can authenticate using a GHL API key or OAuth token. In Zapier, connect the GHL Contacts API through a dedicated connection to securely store credentials. Rotate keys regularly and use scoped access to limit permissions. Additionally, use webhook notifications where available to receive near real-time updates while following best practices for credential management.
Yes—map core fields such as contactId, name, email, phone, and businessId to Onfleet-related data. You can also propagate notes and appointments to provide richer delivery context. If a field doesn’t have a direct Onfleet equivalent, store it in a notes field or a custom field in Onfleet artifacts.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan and Zapier usage. Plan for bursts during syncs and implement retry logic with exponential backoff. Consider batch reads when possible to stay within quotas. Monitor usage via the Zapier task history and GHL API dashboard.
No heavy coding is required. Use Zapier triggers, actions, and built‑in mapping to connect GHL Contacts API with Onfleet through the Zapier App Connector. For advanced scenarios, small scripts or code steps can be added in Zapier if needed.
Use Zapier’s test feature and sample data to validate mapping. Run a test in draft mode, review task logs, and verify that Onfleet receives correctly structured data before going live. Enable monitoring and alerts to catch failures early.
Store API keys securely, use per‑account connections, and enable two‑factor authentication where available. Rotate credentials regularly and follow least privilege principles for each app connection.
Yes—endpoint references and examples are available in GHL’s API docs. Use the provided endpoint paths and query examples to shape your Zapier mappings and tests.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
