Authenticate requests to the Contacts API using your GHL credentials within the Zapier App Connector, ensuring the requested scope (contacts.readonly) is granted.
Use OAuth 2.0 via the Zapier App Connector to securely obtain and refresh access tokens for calling the Contacts API.
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; Action: pull core fields with GET /contacts/:contactId.
Actions: Create or update a contact (POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId), and attach notes or tasks.
GET /contacts/:contactId
contactId, name, email, phone, custom fields
Trigger: New or updated tasks for a contact; Use GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to list tasks.
Actions: Create, update, or complete tasks (POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed; DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId).
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
contactId, taskId, status, dueDate, subject
Trigger: New notes or appointments for a contact; Use GET /contacts/:contactId/notes and GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments.
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
noteId, note, appointmentId, date
No coding required—build automated workflows with clicks.
Rapid automation across apps like Gmail, Sheets, and CRM platforms.
Reusable templates to scale operations.
Glossary of terms and core processes to help you implement the integration.
API: A set of endpoints that lets applications read and write data from Contacts API via HTTP requests.
OAuth 2.0 is the authorization framework used to grant access tokens securely to the Zapier App Connector.
An API path you call to perform an action, such as GET /contacts/:contactId.
A way for apps to send real-time updates to your Zapier workflows.
Capture form submissions in your app and automatically create or update contact records in GHL using the Contacts API.
When a task is created in GHL, push a corresponding task in your project management tool.
Attach notes and schedule appointments from notes to a calendar when a contact is updated.
Obtain your GHL API credentials and configure the Zapier App Connector with the required scope.
Set up OAuth 2.0 flow and test a connection.
Build a Zap that uses GET /contacts/:contactId to pull data and perform actions.
The Contacts API lets you read and write contact data programmatically. When used with the Zapier App Connector, you can automate how your apps exchange contact information. The guide covers authentication, endpoint usage, and building workflows that move data between GHL and your favorite tools.
No coding is required—build automated workflows with clicks. The Zapier App Connector provides a no-code interface to authenticate, map fields, and configure trigger and action steps.
Available endpoints include retrieving a contact, its tasks, notes, and appointments; batch listing of contacts; creating and updating contacts and tasks.
Yes. You can update a contact (POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId), create tasks (POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks), and attach notes.
Security is handled via OAuth 2.0 and token refresh in the Zapier App Connector. Always use HTTPS and apply the least-privilege scope (contacts.readonly for read-only actions).
To test the connection, create a test Zap that triggers on a new or updated contact and run a test action. Review the returned data and adjust field mappings as needed.
If you need more endpoints later, you can update the Zapier app configuration to include additional API paths. Refer to the API reference and re-authenticate if required.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
