Access to the Contacts API requires OAuth 2.0 credentials configured in your GHL developer console. Use the scope: contacts.readonly to limit permissions to read-only data unless you request additional rights.
ProfitWell connects to the GHL Contacts API via Zapier using a secure, token-based flow. Grant the requested scopes and rotate credentials regularly to maintain security.
GET /contacts/:contactId — Retrieve a single contact GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks — List tasks for a contact GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Get a specific task GET /contacts/:contactId/notes — List notes for a contact GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id — Get a specific note GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments — Fetch appointments for a contact GET /contacts/ — List all contacts GET /contacts/business/:businessId — List contacts for a business contacts.write — Permission to write contact data POST /contacts/ — Create a new 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 — Tag a contact
Trigger: a contact in GHL is created or updated, sending the change to ProfitWell.
Actions: create or update the corresponding contact in ProfitWell; map core fields; optionally sync related tasks or notes.
POST /contacts/
Key fields: email, fullName, phone, company, lifecycleStage
Trigger: ProfitWell exports a batch of contacts to be upserted in GHL.
Actions: upsert multiple contacts; create or update fields; set tags
POST /contacts/
Fields: email, name, business, phone
Trigger: when a task is created in GHL, create a matching task in ProfitWell
Actions: create or update ProfitWell tasks; map status and due dates
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Fields: taskName, dueDate, status

Overview of the elements and processes involved in connecting GHL Contacts API to ProfitWell via Zapier.
Application Programming Interface — a set of rules that lets different software entities talk to each other.
OAuth 2.0 is a standard for token-based authorization, enabling secure access to APIs without sharing passwords.
An API endpoint is a specific URL that performs an action or returns data when called with the proper method and permissions.
Upsert means create a resource or update it if it already exists, based on a unique key such as email.
Auto-sync contact revenue data to ProfitWell as soon as changes occur in GHL, enabling up-to-date dashboards.
Segment contacts in ProfitWell based on lifecycle stage and map to GHL fields for targeted campaigns.
Link task completion in GHL with revenue events in ProfitWell to drive analytics.
Obtain OAuth credentials in GHL and authorize the Zapier app to access ProfitWell data.
Map essential fields such as email, name, and lifecycle data between GHL and ProfitWell.
Run tests, verify data integrity, and enable automations.
No coding is required to set up the basic connection. The Zapier App Connector provides guided steps to authorize, map fields, and configure triggers and actions between ProfitWell and the GHL Contacts API. The no-code approach covers most common use cases. For advanced needs, you can customize mappings and add conditional logic as your workflow grows.
You will typically use endpoints like GET /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId, and related task, notes, and tags endpoints to read and write data as required by your workflow. The exact endpoints you call depend on whether you are syncing data into GHL, pulling data for ProfitWell analytics, or updating related records. Use the ENDPOINTLIST above as a quick reference when configuring your Zap.
Common fields synced include email, fullName, firstName, lastName, phone, company, and lifecycleStage. You can also map custom fields as needed. When a field changes in one system, the integration updates the other to keep analytics consistent.
Connections use OAuth 2.0 token-based authentication and HTTPS for transport security. You control credentials within your GHL and ProfitWell apps, rotate tokens regularly, and monitor access logs to prevent unauthorized use.
Yes. Use Zapier’s test mode and sandbox data to validate triggers and actions without affecting real records. Review task history and endpoint responses to confirm mappings are correct before going live.
Yes. You can configure triggers so that actions in ProfitWell or GHL create or update tasks automatically. This enables ongoing task management and ensures teams stay aligned without manual data entry.
Endpoint docs and the full list are available in the ENDPOINTLIST section of this page and in your Zapier app connector and GHL API docs. If you need more detail, consult the official API reference for the Contacts API.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
