The GHL Contacts API provides access to contact records, tasks, notes, and appointments. It enables bidirectional data flow with the Zapier App Connector. You can fetch, create, update, and delete contacts, as well as manage related resources. Use the endpoints listed to integrate with your CRM, automation workflows, and reporting dashboards.
Authentication uses OAuth tokens or API keys with scope controls. In Zapier, connect the GHL Contacts API app and grant the required scopes (e.g., contacts.readonly) to access data. Keep credentials secure. Refresh tokens and secret keys should be stored securely in your Zapier connection.
Available endpoints include retrieving a single contact, listing contacts, and managing tasks, notes, and appointments. You can also create or update contacts and tasks. Review the endpoint list to determine which resources you need in your automations.
Yes. You can create, update, delete, and manage notes, tasks, and contacts. Use appropriate endpoints and actions in your Zapier workflows. For example, you can create a task when a note is added.
Zapier provides triggers for new or updated contacts, tasks, or notes, and actions to create or modify resources in GHL. You can chain multiple steps without coding. Test your zap and verify data mapping.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan and API usage. Plan ahead and implement retries in Zapier workflows. If you hit limits, consider batching requests or caching data.
