The Contacts API offers endpoints for retrieving, creating, updating, and deleting contacts, as well as related data like tasks, notes, appointments, and tags. Common read endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, while write operations use POST, PUT, and DELETE variants such as POST /contacts/ and PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId.
Authentication uses your GHL API key or OAuth credentials to establish a secure connection with Zapier App Connector. After authorizing, Zapier can perform actions on your Contacts data within the permissions granted by your GHL workspace. Always follow the principle of least privilege when configuring access.
Yes. Zapier can create new contacts with POST /contacts/, update existing contacts with PUT /contacts/:contactId, and delete contacts with DELETE /contacts/:contactId, all guided by the workflows you configure. You can also attach tasks, notes, and tags in the same automation thread.
Key fields include contactId, name, email, and phone for contacts, with related fields like taskId, dueDate, and status for tasks. The endpoints expose data such as notes, tags, and appointments, enabling comprehensive data manipulation through Zapier actions.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan and API usage. Plan for bursts during onboarding and high-volume syncs, and design workflows with retry logic to gracefully handle temporary limits. Monitoring and alerting in Zapier help you catch throttling early.
Tags can be managed via PUT /contacts/:contactId/tags to add or remove labels. Notes and tasks are also accessible to create contextual data for each contact, enabling richer workflows without leaving Zapier.
To test, run the connected Zapier workflow in test mode, verify data flow between Contacts API and your apps, and confirm that triggers fire and actions execute as expected. When satisfied, deploy the integration to begin automated operations across your stack.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
