To authorize the GHL Contacts API within Pinboard, generate an API key and use OAuth tokens as required. Store credentials securely in your Zapier App Connector settings and rotate them periodically for security.
Authorize Pinboard to access your GHL data by creating an OAuth connection in Pinboard and linking it to the Contacts API, then grant the requested permissions for read/write operations.
GET /contacts/:contactId (retrieve a single contact); GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks (list tasks for a contact); GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId (retrieve a specific task); GET /contacts/:contactId/notes (list notes for a contact); GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id (retrieve a specific note); GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments (list appointments); GET /contacts/ (list all contacts); GET /contacts/business/:businessId (list contacts by business); Scope: contacts.readonly; contacts.write capabilities include 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 either Pinboard or the GHL Contacts API, then sync the changes across both systems.
Actions: create or update contact in GHL from Pinboard; push updates back to Pinboard; optionally sync related fields like tags and notes.
Use GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch, POST /contacts/ to create, and PUT /contacts/:contactId to update; map fields between Pinboard and GHL.
Key fields: contactId, email, firstName, lastName, phone, tags
Trigger when tasks are created or updated for a contact, then propagate changes between Pinboard and GHL.
Actions: create/update tasks, assign to the correct contact, update statuses and due dates.
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed; DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId
Key fields: contactId, taskId, status, dueDate
Trigger when notes or appointments are created or updated, ensuring both systems stay in sync.
Actions: create/update notes and appointments in both Pinboard and GHL, attach notes to the right contact.
POST /contacts/:contactId/notes; GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments; POST /contacts/:contactId/appointments
Key fields: contactId, noteId, appointmentId
Automate data flow without writing code using visual triggers and actions in Zapier App Connector.
Achieve fast onboarding and task management with live sync between Pinboard and GHL.
Improve data accuracy and team collaboration through centralized, up-to-date records.
Key elements include endpoints (URL paths), triggers (events), actions (operations), data fields, and mappings between Pinboard and the GHL Contacts API.
API: A set of rules and protocols that allow Pinboard to communicate with the GHL Contacts API to read, write, and manage data.
Endpoint: a specific URL path used to perform an operation (e.g., GET /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts/).
OAuth: The standard authorization framework used to grant Pinboard access to GHL data without sharing passwords.
Payload: the data sent with API requests to create or update resources in GHL.
Automatically create or update Pinboard contacts in GHL as new contacts enter your pipeline.
Sync tags and segments from Pinboard into GHL to keep segmentation consistent across tools.
Create follow-up tasks in Pinboard whenever notes are added in GHL for timely engagement.
Create and authorize the GHL API connection in Pinboard to establish a secure bridge.
Configure endpoint mappings and field mappings to ensure data aligns between Pinboard and GHL.
Run tests, verify results, and deploy the integration to production with monitoring.
No coding is required. The no-code bridge via GHL’s API and the Zapier App Connector allows you to set up triggers and actions through a visual interface. This makes it easy for teams to automate workflows without developers. If you want more control, you can customize triggers and actions to fit your business processes.
The connector supports common endpoints such as retrieving contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments. Not all endpoints may be exposed in every plan; check your API permissions and available endpoints in your admin settings.
Data is transmitted over secure channels with encryption and token-based authentication. You can configure field mappings to limit data exposure and enforce least-privilege access.
Yes. Use the mapping UI to align Pinboard fields with GHL endpoints. You can also layer conditional logic to refine when updates occur.
Use a test or sandbox mode to simulate calls and verify outcomes before enabling live synchronization.
Notifications can be delivered via email, Slack, or in-app alerts when a sync completes or fails.
Credentials are found in the GHL developer portal and Pinboard settings. Store them securely and rotate regularly.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
