To access the Contacts API, obtain your GHL API credentials, authorize the request scope as readonly (contacts.readonly), and use OAuth 2.0 or API key methods. Keep tokens secure and rotate credentials regularly.
Create or select a Pushover app and generate an API key or user key for the Zapier App Connector. In Zapier, connect your Pushover account and run a test to confirm delivery.
– 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 when a contact is created or updated to push a concise alert with key fields.
Actions: fetch full contact data, format message, and deliver via Pushover; optionally update a local log.
GET /contacts/:contactId
contactId, name, email, status
Trigger when notes are added or updated for a contact
Send a compact note digest to Pushover; include note title and a short snippet
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
noteId, title, content, updatedAt
Trigger when tasks are created, updated, or completed
Push a notification with task title and due date; include a link to the task
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
taskId, title, dueDate, status
Zero-code automation with the Zapier App Connector lets you build workflows quickly without writing code.
Real-time alerts for contact changes improve response times and service quality.
Centralized activity logs and audit trails across contacts and tasks.
Key elements include the GHL Contacts API, Pushover as the notification channel, and the Zapier App Connector to glue them. Core processes cover authentication, endpoint usage, data mapping, and automated messaging.
GHL API refers to the programmatic interface provided by the GHL platform for accessing contact data and other resources.
A specific HTTP method and URL path used to access a resource in the GHL Contacts API.
A secure authorization framework that grants access to GHL resources without exposing user credentials.
A unit of work assigned to a contact, retrievable via the tasks endpoints.
Set up triggers that push brief alerts whenever critical contact fields change, enabling rapid follow-up.
Create daily digest notes that summarize recent activity and deliver as a single Pushover message.
Push reminders when tasks for a contact approach due dates and owners.
Collect GHL API credentials and a Pushover user/app key; store securely.
Configure OAuth scopes (e.g., contacts.readonly) and test connections in Zapier.
Map fields between the Contacts API and Pushover in Zapier, then enable live testing.
You can connect without coding by using the Zapier App Connector in a visual editor to configure triggers and actions. Start with a test connection to verify credentials and scope. This approach keeps setup fast and transparent, and you can adjust mappings anytime as your workflow needs evolve.
Common workflows rely on GET /contacts/:contactId and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to pull data. For updates, use POST /contacts/ and PUT /contacts/:contactId to create or modify records. Map the fields you need (name, email, status, due dates) to Pushover message content for clear notifications.
Security: Use OAuth 2.0 or API keys, limit scope to readonly for data retrieval, and rotate credentials regularly. Store tokens securely and use encrypted storage when possible, and restrict access to only trusted apps and users.
Yes. Use Zapier’s Test feature to simulate triggers and messages without touching live data. You can also use a sandbox or dummy contact before enabling live flows.
In the Zap editor, map GHL Contacts API fields to the Pushover message content. For example, map contact name and status to the notification title and body.
Update frequency depends on the trigger—polling in Zapier can be configured, and webhooks can push updates instantly when supported by the API.
View logs in Zapier task history and, if needed, export logs to an external logging service for deeper analysis.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
