The Contacts API uses OAuth 2.0 bearer tokens for secure access. Obtain an access token from your GHL developer console and include it in the Authorization header for each request. Store tokens securely and rotate them regularly.
Zapier App Connector authenticates to GHL using OAuth 2.0. In your Zap setup, connect your GHL account to authorize the connector, or use a supported API key method if available. Keep credentials secure and up to date.

Choose an endpoint, for example GET /contacts/:contactId to pull a contact.
Map data fields between GHL and your apps and run a test to confirm the integration works.
The Contacts API uses OAuth 2.0 Bearer tokens for secure access. In Zapier, connect your GHL account to authorize the connector, or use an API key if your setup supports it. Always store credentials securely and rotate tokens regularly.
The integration exposes a range of endpoints, including GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, POST /contacts/, and PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId. Use the endpoints that match your workflow to read or modify contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments.
Use the test run feature in Zapier to verify connectivity and data mapping. Check error messages for missing fields, invalid IDs, or authentication failures and consult logs to resolve issues quickly.
You can retrieve core fields like contactId, name, email, phone, and related data such as notes, tasks, and appointments. Map these fields to your destination apps as needed.
Yes. Use PUT /contacts/:contactId to update a contact and PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId to modify tasks. You can also mark tasks as completed with the appropriate endpoint.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan. In most cases, make sure to batch requests where possible and implement retry logic with exponential backoff to ensure reliability.
API credentials are accessible from your GHL developer or account settings and the Zapier app connections page. Renew tokens before expiration and update your Zap configurations to avoid downtime.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
