Authenticate requests to the Contacts API using your GHL API credentials and secure tokens; follow the recommended OAuth flow where available.
Zapier App Connector uses OAuth 2.0 or API tokens to securely authorize access to GHL on behalf of your workflows; store credentials safely in Zapier.
GET /contacts/:contactId — retrieve a single contact; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks — list a contact’s tasks; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — get a specific task; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes — list notes; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id — get a note; GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments — list appointments; GET /contacts/ — list contacts; GET /contacts/business/:businessId — list contacts by business; POST /contacts/ — create a contact; PUT /contacts/:contactId — update a contact; DELETE /contacts/:contactId — delete a contact; POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks — create a task for a contact; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — update a task; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed — mark a task complete; DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — delete a task; POST /contacts/:contactId/tags — assign tags to a contact;
Trigger: when a contact is accessed or updated in GHL to sync with connected apps.
Actions: fetch associated tasks notes and appointments, or push updates to other apps.
GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, name, email, phone, company
Trigger: new contact created in your source app to be created in GHL.
Actions: create or update contact with core fields and optional tags or notes.
POST /contacts/ or PUT /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: name, email, phone, company
Trigger: a new task is created or updated for a contact in the connected app.
Actions: create, update, or delete tasks, and mark completed; optionally pull related notes.
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: contactId, taskId, taskName, dueDate
Automations can be built visually without writing code, saving time and reducing errors.
You can trigger actions across apps from a single data source, improving consistency.
Centralized data access enables faster onboarding and scalable workflows.
Learn the core elements (endpoints, authentication, mapping) and processes (authorization, data flow, error handling) used when linking GHL to Zapier.
A defined URL and HTTP method that performs a specific action against an API.
The process of proving identity and granting access to an API, typically via OAuth 2.0 or API keys.
A callback mechanism that sends real-time data from one app to another via HTTP requests.
The maximum number of API requests allowed in a given time window to prevent abuse.
Set up bidirectional sync to keep contact data current in GHL and connected apps.
Create onboarding tasks in GHL when new leads enter your marketing system.
Aggregate notes from multiple sources into the GHL contact record for a complete history.
Grant access to GHL, select Contacts API scopes, and save credentials in Zapier.
Connect contact fields like name, email, and phone to Zapier actions and choose the endpoints for your flow.
Run tests, validate data flow, and enable live automations.
The GHL Contacts API exposes resources for contact records, tasks, notes, and appointments, allowing you to read and write data programmatically. When used with the Zapier App Connector, you can trigger automations in other apps based on contact activity and push updates back into GHL to keep data in sync.
GHL supports authentication via OAuth 2.0 and API keys depending on environment. The Zapier App Connector handles credential storage and token refresh. Follow best practices by securing keys, rotating credentials, and using scoped permissions to limit access to only needed data.
The endpoints provide read and write capabilities across contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments, enabling workflows such as creating a contact from another app or updating tasks. Examples include GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch details and POST /contacts/ to create new records, as well as task-related endpoints for management.
Yes. You can update core records with PUT /contacts/:contactId and manage tasks with PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId or POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks. Similarly, you can delete records with DELETE endpoints to keep data clean and consistent across apps.
Field mapping in Zapier actions lets you pass data from one app to another by aligning source fields with target fields. Be mindful of data types, required fields, and validation rules to ensure clean data flows.
API rate limits govern how many calls you can make in a given window. Plan zaps to avoid bursts that exceed limits. If limits are hit, implement exponential backoff retries and efficient data retrieval to reduce unnecessary requests.
Support for this integration is available through Rankr’s help center, docs, and community forums. If you need direct assistance, contact Rankr support and reference the Pipeliner Cloud GHL Connection project.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
