Begin by obtaining API credentials from the GHL dashboard and granting read permissions to access contact data for PushCallMe.
In Zapier, create an app connection, paste your GHL API key, and run a test to ensure a secure data flow between Contacts API and the Zapier App Connector.
– Core endpoints used: 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, and write/update/delete operations such as 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. The API Scope required is: contacts.readonly with appropriate write permissions when needed.
Trigger: a contact is created or updated in GHL; sync core fields (name, email, phone) to Zapier.
Actions: pull contact data, create or update related tasks and notes in the destination app, and maintain sync.
GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, firstName, lastName, email, phone
Trigger: updates to a contact’s tasks (creation, update, completion).
Actions: create, update, and complete tasks; fetch task lists for the contact.
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: taskId, status, title, dueDate, contactId
Trigger: new or updated notes or appointments linked to a contact.
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes and GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments
Key fields: noteId, appointmentId, contactId
Automate workflows without writing a line of code, using visual Zaps to orchestrate data flow.
Orchestrate data across tools in real-time, improving speed and accuracy of PushCallMe processes.
Scale your integration easily with reusable templates that adapt to growing contact data.
This glossary covers terms used when integrating the GHL Contacts API with the Zapier App Connector for PushCallMe.
A person entry in GHL containing identifiers such as contactId, name, email, and phone.
A to-do item linked to a contact to track work or follow-ups.
A text record attached to a contact for context or history.
A scheduled meeting or call associated with a contact.
Automatically generate onboarding tasks to kick off PushCallMe when a new contact is saved.
Aggregate notes from GHL into a shared note repository for quick reference.
Trigger a follow-up appointment scheduling flow after a task is completed.
Obtain a GHL API key and add it to Zapier App Connector for authentication.
Map GHL contact fields to Zapier fields used in your Zaps to ensure correct data flow.
Create a test Zap, verify data flows in real time, and troubleshoot as needed.
PushCallMe can leverage a broad set of Endpoints in the GHL Contacts API to retrieve and update contact data as needed. Start with core read endpoints to fetch contact details, then expand to tasks, notes, and appointments as your automation requires. Ensure you have the proper scope (contacts.readonly or higher) configured in GHL for reliable access. This guide focuses on practical uses and safe data handling when connecting via Zapier. If you need to perform write operations, request elevated permissions and implement robust error handling in your Zap to prevent partial updates and data inconsistencies.
Authentication is handled by exchanging secure credentials between GHL and the Zapier App Connector. Use a dedicated API key or OAuth flow as provided by GHL, and keep keys encrypted in Zapier vaults. Regularly rotate credentials and monitor access logs for unusual activity. Always test connections in a sandbox or staging environment before going live.
Yes. You can read notes via GET /contacts/:contactId/notes and create or update notes as needed. This enables a consolidated view of all contact context within Zapier. Combine notes with tasks and appointments to build rich, contextual automations for PushCallMe.
To pull all contacts, use the GET /contacts/ endpoint and paginate through results as needed. For large datasets, implement incremental sync by tracking lastUpdated timestamps and using range queries where supported. This minimizes API load while keeping data current.
GHL imposes rate limits based on your plan and endpoint usage. When building Zaps, implement exponential backoff and smart retry logic. Use webhooks where available to reduce polling, and batch multiple requests where the API supports it to stay within limits.
Absolutely. Zapier can trigger actions based on GHL events by polling endpoints or using webhooks. Configure triggers for new contacts, task updates, notes additions, and appointment changes to automate downstream workflows in Zapier.
If problems arise, start with confirming credentials and scopes, then check endpoint responses and rate limit headers. Use Zapier task history and GHL activity logs to identify failing steps, and verify field mappings to ensure data types align correctly.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
