An Application Programming Interface that allows software to communicate and share data.
A specific URL for an API operation that returns data or performs an action.
The method used to verify identity and authorize access to resources.
A standard for delegated authorization and secure access to APIs.
Capture new leads from site forms and push them to Contacts API via the app connector to keep your CRM up to date.
Whenever a task is created or updated in Contacts API, mirror it in your project management tool.
Archive contact notes to your knowledge base or wiki automatically.
Connect your GHL account to the Zapier App Connector and grant the required permissions.
Select events like new or updated contacts, tasks, or notes and map fields to your apps.
Run tests, verify data flows, and publish automations.
Yes. The setup is code-free with the Zapier App Connector. You can connect your GHL Contacts API account, choose triggers and actions, and map fields without writing code. For advanced control, you can still use the API directly for custom flows. This combination lets you build robust automations quickly.
Many endpoints are available to cover typical CRM workflows, including retrieving contacts, tasks, notes, and basic management operations. You can choose the endpoints you need and combine them in multi-step automations. If an endpoint you expect isn’t listed, you can still implement it via direct API calls through the connector.
Security is built in with OAuth or API key based access and encrypted storage of credentials. Access tokens are scoped and rotate periodically, and the connector enforces least privilege access for each action.
Yes. You can update contact details via PUT /contacts/:contactId and adjust related fields. Field mappings in the Zapier app ensure updated values sync back to the GHL account.
You can delete records with DELETE /contacts/:contactId, but proceed with caution. Best practice is to implement safeguards and backups before deleting data. The connector supports safe delete workflows.
The integration works with other apps supported by Zapier. You can push data to CRMs, project management tools, and more, using actions and webhooks to trigger cross-app workflows.
API rate limits depend on your GHL plan. Monitor usage in the adapter dashboard and design automations to stay within limits. If you need higher throughput, contact support for options.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
