The Contacts API requires proper authentication with the provided scope: contacts.readonly, to read contact data securely.
In the Zapier app flow, authorize using OAuth credentials that grant access to the GHL Contacts API and securely refresh tokens as needed.

Trigger when a contact is requested by ID to fetch the latest details, tasks, and notes.
Actions include creating or updating a contact, adding tasks, and attaching notes.
Examples: GET /contacts/:contactId; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
Key fields: contactId (primary), with name, email, phone, tasks, and notes as related data.
Schedule-based triggers batch-update calls to reduce API calls and keep data fresh.
Actions: bulk update/create contacts, add tags, and batch task updates.
Examples: GET /contacts/; POST /contacts/; PUT /contacts/:contactId; DELETE /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, businessId, and tags for bulk operations.
Trigger when notes are added or updated to keep summaries in sync.
Actions: create notes, fetch notes, attach to contacts, and generate reports.
Examples: GET /contacts/:contactId/notes; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id
Key fields: noteId, contactId.
Automate data flow between systems without writing code.
Achieve real-time sync of contacts, tasks, and notes across apps.
Scale with 17 endpoints to cover core CRM activities.
Key elements include endpoints, triggers, actions, keys, and glossary terms to help you implement the integration confidently.
A person record in the Contacts API containing basic details and relationships to tasks and notes.
A to-do item linked to a specific contact.
A piece of information attached to a contact, such as a meeting or update.
A specific API path combined with an HTTP method to access data.
Sync contact updates from GHL to your other tools and pull changes back when edited.
Automatically create tasks in response to notes or updates in the Contacts API.
Use endpoints like POST /contacts/ and GET /contacts/ to move large datasets.
Obtain OAuth credentials and test endpoints to confirm access.
Set up triggers for contact events and map actions accordingly.
Deploy the workflow and monitor for errors, performance, and data accuracy.
The integration uses the scope: contacts.readonly to read contact data. You can request additional scopes if needed. Ensure your token is valid and active.
Supported endpoints include: GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId, DELETE /contacts/:contactId, and others listed in the Endpoint Overview.
Authenticate via OAuth 2.0 in the Zapier app. Follow the OAuth flow to grant access and refresh as needed.
Yes. The Contacts API supports read and write operations via the endpoints such as POST, PUT, and DELETE for managing contacts.
No code is required. The Zapier App Connector handles the integration using pre-built actions and triggers.
Use the built-in test tool in Zapier to verify authentication and test endpoints before deployment.
API keys and OAuth credentials can be found in your GHL developer portal and in the Zapier app settings during setup.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
