To access the GHL Contacts API, authenticate with the required scope (for example, contacts.readonly) and use your GHL API credentials to establish a secure connection.
In Zapier, connect your GHL account using OAuth 2.0 or an API key and grant the contacts.readonly scope to access contacts data from GHL.
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 to push updates to Recras (and vice versa when supported).
Actions: create or update a Recras contact, create tasks, attach notes, and sync tags.
Use GET /contacts/:contactId to read data, POST /contacts/ to create, PUT /contacts/:contactId to update; POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to add tasks; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to fetch tasks.
Key fields: contactId, name, email, phone, address, notes, tasks, tags
Trigger: when a Recras task or note is created or updated to reflect changes in GHL.
Actions: update GHL contact with new notes, attach tasks as GHL tasks, and log milestones.
Endpoints: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
Key fields: contactId, taskId, noteId, description, dueDate, status
Trigger: when a tag is added in GHL to segment Recras records for campaigns.
Actions: apply tags in Recras, update CRM lists, and trigger audience-specific automations.
Endpoints: POST /contacts/:contactId/tags; GET /contacts/; PUT /contacts/:contactId; GET /contacts/business/:businessId
Key fields: contactId, tags, tag, businessId
Automate everyday CRM tasks without writing a line of code by wiring GHL to Recras via Zapier.
Keep data in sync across systems with real‑time or scheduled updates and automatic error handling.
Scale workflows quickly with reusable templates and switches between endpoints, triggers, and actions.
This glossary explains endpoints, triggers, actions, methods, fields, and processes used to map data between GHL and Recras via the Zapier App Connector.
A URL path combined with an HTTP method used to perform a specific operation in an API.
The process of verifying identity to grant access to the API.
Permissions granted to an app to access resources in an API.
A callback mechanism that notifies your system when specific events occur.
Automatically create or update a GHL contact when a new client is added in Recras, then assign welcome tasks and a first‑contact reminder.
Sync milestone tasks from Recras to GHL and create reminders as notes or tasks to keep teams aligned.
Use GHL tags to drive targeted Recras campaigns via the App Connector for personalized outreach.
Configure OAuth or API keys, select the Contacts API scope, and test the connection between GHL and the Zapier App Connector.
Choose endpoints (such as GET /contacts/:contactId and POST /contacts/) and map GHL fields to Recras fields for seamless data flow.
Run end‑to‑end tests, review Zapier task history and logs, and adjust mappings as needed before going live.
The Contacts API scope, such as contacts.readonly, defines what data your app can access. With readonly access you can pull contact data, tasks, notes, and related items for display and reporting. Upgrading to broader scopes lets you create or update records as needed. Always follow principle of least privilege and only request what you need. Keep credentials secure and rotate keys periodically.
Yes. The App Connector supports creating and updating contacts, tasks, notes, and tags through mapped endpoints. You can design actions that push data from GHL to Recras, or pull Recras updates back into GHL, depending on your workflow. Ensure proper error handling and idempotency to avoid duplicates.
Basic familiarity with no‑code tools is sufficient. The App Connector provides a visual interface to map endpoints and fields, configure triggers, and test steps. Some scenarios may benefit from light scripting if allowed by your platform, but it is not required for core integrations.
Available endpoints include reading and writing contacts, their tasks, notes, appointments, and tags. You can fetch a contact by ID, create or update contacts, manage tasks and notes, and attach tags. Refer to the endpoint list for the exact paths and methods.
Use the built‑in test feature in Zapier to simulate the trigger and action steps. Review task history and error messages, adjust field mappings, and re‑test until the data flows correctly between GHL and Recras.
Zapier provides task history and system logs for each connection. You can monitor run details, errors, and data payloads, then troubleshoot mappings or credentials if issues arise.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
