Use OAuth 2.0 or API key-based authentication to securely connect and refresh tokens as needed for persistent integrations with the Contacts API.
Zapier App Connector uses OAuth, API keys, or webhooks. Set up a connection in your Zapier developer app to authorize access to Contacts API endpoints.
GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id, GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments, GET /contacts/, GET /contacts/business/:businessId, contacts.write, 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: A contact is created or updated in Contacts API
Actions: Create or update contact, attach tasks, add notes
Method paths: POST /contacts/ or PUT /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, email, name, phone
Trigger: New or updated tasks/notes for a contact
Actions: Retrieve tasks, notes, and appointments for a contact
Method paths: GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
Key fields: contactId, taskId, noteId
Trigger: Changes in a business contact require sync across apps
Actions: Sync or create contacts, update fields across systems
Method paths: GET /contacts/business/:businessId, POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: businessId, contactId, email
Automate repetitive contact tasks without writing code, saving time and reducing errors.
Orchestrate multi-step workflows across tools with clicks, not code.
Maintain data consistency by syncing fields like email, name, and phone in real time.
Key terms and processes to understand when integrating the Contacts API with Zapier App Connector, including endpoints, triggers, actions, and data mapping.
A defined URL and method for accessing a specific function of the API, such as retrieving a contact or updating a record.
Methods used to securely verify your identity when connecting apps, including OAuth and API keys.
A real-time or scheduled event in one app that starts a Zap or workflow in another app.
An operation performed by an app in response to a trigger, such as creating or updating a contact.
Create a Zap that creates a contact in Contacts API when a new lead enters your CRM, then automatically updates tasks and notes.
Link notes from Contacts API to a task in your project tool to keep teams aligned.
Set up alerts when key fields change, ensuring data quality across apps.
Register the app, obtain client credentials, and test permissions against the Contacts API and Zapier.
Define triggers like new or updated contacts and map fields for actions such as create or update.
Run end-to-end tests, monitor logs, and set up error alerts to ensure reliability.
Not at all. This integration is designed for no-code automation. Use simple triggers and actions to connect data between Contacts API and Zapier, with optional advanced mappings for power users.
Key endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, and POST /contacts/ for creating new contacts. The endpoint list above highlights the most used paths to automate CRM workflows.
Use OAuth 2.0 with token refresh when available, or API keys for simpler setups. In Zapier, create a connected app and securely store credentials to establish and refresh sessions as needed.
Yes. By mapping events from GET endpoints to your Zapier workflows, you can keep notes, tasks, and appointments synchronized across systems with near real-time updates.
Data conflicts can occur if fields are updated simultaneously. Use versioning or last-write-wins logic in your Zap steps and enable field-level mapping to minimize conflicts.
Check Zapier task history and your API’s logging endpoints. Use the endpoints listed above to fetch activity or error details and diagnose problems quickly.
No. This is designed for no-code automation via Zapier App Connector. You only configure triggers, actions, and mappings within the Zapier interface.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
