Authenticate requests using your GHL API credentials and the defined Contacts read/write scopes to access contact data and perform updates.
In Zapier, create or select a connection to the GHL Contacts API using the API key and OAuth settings provided by your GHL account.
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: A new contact is created or an existing contact is updated, starting a remove-bg workflow.
Actions: Remove background from the contact’s avatar image, store the result URL, and update the contact notes with the result.
Method paths: POST /contacts/ to create a new contact, then PUT /contacts/:contactId to update with the image result.
Key fields: contactId, email, imageUrl, bgRemoved, resultUrl
Trigger: Image processing completes for a contact, generating a follow-up action.
Actions: Create a task to review results, apply a contact tag, and append notes with processing details.
Method paths: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to create a task; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId to update task status.
Key fields: contactId, taskId, status, completed
Trigger: A webhook signals that image processing has finished and results are ready.
Method paths: Use relevant endpoints to fetch updated contact data or trigger follow-up actions via tasks or notes.
Key fields: contactId, webhookId, status
Zero-code automation to streamline contact data flows and image processing without writing code.
Fast setup with pre-built triggers, actions, and data mapping for rapid deployment.
Reliable data synchronization across tools with error handling and retries.
A quick glossary of core elements: endpoints, triggers, actions, and data fields used in the GHL Contacts API integration.
A specific URL path and HTTP method used to perform an action against the GHL API.
An event in your app that starts an automation in Zapier.
An operation performed by an automation in response to a trigger.
The process that proves identity and grants access to the API.
When a new contact is added in GHL, automatically run remove-bg on their avatar and store the result in a dedicated field for quick visibility.
Queue background removal tasks for a batch of contacts during off-peak hours to optimize processing resources.
Tag or categorize contacts based on visual features detected in their images to drive segmentation and personalized outreach.
In GHL, create an API key and set up OAuth scopes for the Contacts API to enable secure access.
In Zapier, connect the GHL Contacts API using the credentials you generated, then authorize access to your account data.
Add triggers (new or updated contacts), map fields, call the remove-bg action, and save results to the contact record or notes.
You authenticate via a GHL API key and OAuth scopes that grant access to the Contacts API. In Zapier, you connect using these credentials and authorize the connection to your GHL account. This ensures secure, permission-based access to contact data for the remove-bg workflow. The connection can be reused across multiple Zapier automations.
Essential endpoints include POST /contacts/ to create or update a contact, GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch data, and POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to track background processing tasks. For image results, you may store the bgRemoval outcome in notes or a custom field. The exact subset depends on your workflow design.
Yes. Zapier can batch actions by using multiple steps in a single Zap. You can fetch a list of contacts, loop through them, and trigger a remove-bg task for each. If batch processing is heavy, consider running on a schedule or using queue-based tasks to manage load.
Map fields like contactId, email, imageUrl, bgRemoved, resultUrl, and notes fields where you store results. Also map status fields for tasks, and ensure timestamps align with processing events.
Implement error handling with retries in Zapier and monitor API rate limits from GHL. Use conditional paths to gracefully skip failed contacts and log errors in notes for auditing.
No heavy coding is required. The remove-bg flow can be built with Zapier’s pre-built actions, triggers, and simple field mappings. If you need custom logic, small code steps can be added, but it’s not required for typical use.
Key terms include API endpoint, trigger, action, and authentication. A glossary of these terms helps you understand how the integration pieces fit together and how data flows between GHL and Zapier.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
