To access the Contacts API you will need a valid OAuth token or API key depending on your setup. Include the token in the Authorization header for each request and refresh it as needed.
In the Zapier App Connector configure authentication to securely store and renew credentials, using OAuth 2.0 flow or API key as supported.
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; 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 new or updated contact is detected in the Contacts API.
Create or update tasks in the connected app based on contact changes, including due dates and priorities.
GET /contacts/:contactId
contactId, updatedAt, status
Trigger on new or updated notes for a contact
Attach notes and update tags in Zapier App Connector
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
contactId, noteId, createdAt
Trigger when a new appointment is scheduled for a contact
Create or update tasks and calendar events in Zapier App Connector
GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments
contactId, appointmentId, date
Automates data flow between Contacts API and Zapier App Connector without writing a line of code
Speeds up onboarding by auto populating contact fields across apps
Keeps notes, tasks, and appointments synchronized across platforms
This glossary explains triggers actions endpoints authentication and data fields used in this integration
An event in the Contacts API that starts a workflow in Zapier App Connector
An operation performed in the connected app as a result of a trigger
A URL path used to access a specific resource in an API
Process of proving identity to access the API, typically via OAuth tokens or API keys
Create a welcome note and assign a starter task when a new contact is added
Sync incoming task updates to a central activity log
Combine notes tasks and appointments into a single feed
Obtain a valid OAuth token and configure it in the App Connector authentication settings
Choose contact fields to sync like contactId status and notes map to the target fields
Run a test in Zapier and enable live data flow after validation
No heavy coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides a visual builder and prebuilt actions that map to Contacts API endpoints. You can set triggers and actions without writing code. If you do customize you can add small data transforms. This makes it accessible to non developers while still offering power to developers.
The integration covers core endpoints like GET /contacts/:contactId GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes and POST /contacts/ routes. You can extend with custom fields though not all endpoints are required for every page.
Authentication uses OAuth tokens supplied by GHL and stored securely in Zapier App Connector. You will need to authorize the connection and refresh tokens as needed.
Yes you can run a test without live data by using a sandbox or test mode. Zapier offers test steps to simulate triggers and actions.
If a contact is deleted the automation can trigger cleanup actions in Zapier such as archiving related tasks or notes. You can configure webhooks to reflect deletions.
Errors are surfaced in the task history and in the connector logs. You can inspect error codes and retry failed steps.
Logs for the integration are available in the Zapier App Connector logs and in the Contacts API response metadata.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
