Authenticate with OAuth 2.0 or API keys to access your GHL data securely and grant the necessary permissions to the Zapier App Connector.
Grant Zapier read/write access to Contacts data, tasks, notes, and appointments via the GHL API so you can create automated flows.
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 in GHL
Push the contact data to the Zapier App Connector to trigger downstream automations
GET /contacts/:contactId
contactId, firstName, lastName, email, phone, tags
Trigger when tasks are created or updated for a contact in GHL
Create or update tasks in Zapier App Connector and map fields to outcomes
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
taskId, title, dueDate, status, priority
Trigger when notes are added or updated for a contact
Log notes in Zapier or trigger actions based on note content
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
noteId, createdAt, noteContent, author
Rapid onboarding of automations with a drag-and-drop interface—no custom code required.
Automate data flows between GHL and your apps to reduce manual data entry.
Test, iterate, and deploy automations with live data in minutes.
Definitions of common terms and processes used when integrating GHL via the Contacts API and the Zapier App Connector.
A specific URL path and HTTP method used to access or modify data in an API.
The process of proving identity to access a service (OAuth 2.0, API keys).
An authorization framework that allows apps to gain limited access to a user’s data without exposing credentials.
A URL that allows a client to access a resource on a server.
Create a Zap to generate a new contact in your CRM when a form is submitted, automatically tagging the entry for segmentation.
Trigger a follow-up task when a note is added to a contact, keeping activities synchronized.
Poll endpoint status to generate a daily health report and alert on anomalies.
Connect your GHL account and authorize Zapier to access Contacts data.
Set up triggers for new or updated contacts and map fields to actions in Zapier.
Test end-to-end automations and deploy them into your workflows.
The Contacts API is the gateway to reading and writing contact data in GHL. It provides endpoints to fetch contacts, tasks, notes, and more. This page focuses on how to connect that API with the Zapier App Connector using Rebrandly as the bridge.\n\nTwo quick steps to start: configure authentication and select the endpoints you’ll use in your automations.
No traditional coding is required. Use Zapier’s app builder to map fields, set triggers, and define actions. If you’re comfortable, you can add simple filters to refine when automations run.
For general syncing, start with GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch a single contact, and GET /contacts/ to list all contacts. Use GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes to bring related data into workflows.
Authentication is handled via OAuth 2.0 or API keys. In the setup, you’ll authorize GHL access within Zapier and store tokens securely for subsequent requests.
Yes. You can POST /contacts/ to create new contacts or POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to create tasks associated with a contact, enabling automated task management.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan and the API usage. Plan accordingly and implement backoff in your automations to maintain reliability.
Use test mode in Zapier to simulate actions, validate field mappings, and verify data flow end-to-end before deploying to production.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
