Use your GHL API key and OAuth token to securely access endpoints such as /contacts and /contacts/:contactId. Always test in a non-production environment first.
Zapier authenticates to your GHL instance on behalf of workflows. Use OAuth 2.0 where available and store credentials securely in Zapier’s vault. Rotate credentials regularly.

Trigger: New or updated contact fetched by GET /contacts/{contactId}
Actions: Create or update a record in Zapier, fetch related tasks and notes for a fuller profile
GET /contacts/{contactId}
contactId, name, email
Trigger: Any time a contact’s tasks change, using GET /contacts/{contactId}/tasks
Actions: Update tasks across connected apps, set reminders
GET /contacts/{contactId}/tasks
contactId, taskId, status, dueDate
Trigger: Notes added or updated via GET /contacts/{contactId}/notes
Actions: Attach notes and tags to CRM records, drive insights
GET /contacts/{contactId}/notes
contactId, id, notes, tags
No-code automations eliminate manual data entry and speed up workflows between GHL and Zapier App Connector.
Centralized data mapping and reusable templates let you build complex workflows without writing code.
Visual workflow builders enable you to test and deploy integrations quickly.
Key elements include endpoints, authentication methods, triggers, actions, and the data fields used to move contact data between GHL and Zapier.
A secret string used to verify API requests and grant access to resources.
A specific URL path exposing a resource in the API.
An authorization framework that allows apps to access user data securely without sharing passwords.
A callback URL that enables real-time updates from the API to your app.
When a contact changes in GHL, automatically create or update a RepairShopr ticket via Zapier to keep records in sync.
Use the tasks endpoint to trigger reminders in project management tools when a contact has due tasks.
Sync notes to a central notes repository and surface insights in CRM workflows.
Connect your GHL account to Zapier App Connector using OAuth 2.0 or API keys, then verify the connection.
Choose the Contacts API endpoints you need and map fields between GHL and Zapier.
Create a Zap that triggers on a contact event and performs actions across apps (e.g., create notes, tasks).
The GHL API supports API keys and OAuth 2.0 for secure access. Choose the method your workflow requires and store credentials securely. Always protect tokens and rotate them regularly. Zapier App Connector can use OAuth 2.0 or API key-based authentication to connect to your GHL instance. Test credentials in a safe environment and enable token refresh if available.
The Contacts endpoint family includes GET /contacts/{contactId}, GET /contacts/{contactId}/tasks, GET /contacts/{contactId}/notes, and related endpoints for updates and writes such as POST, PUT, and DELETE. You can combine them to build rich workflows. Use the endpoint list to understand permissions and available data fields for each operation.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan. If you exceed quotas, responses will return a 429 or similar code. Implement exponential backoff in your Zapier Zaps and handle retries gracefully. Consider batching requests where possible to stay within limits.
Yes. You can update contacts via PUT /contacts/{contactId}, update tasks via PUT /contacts/{contactId}/tasks/{taskId}, and add or modify notes with PUT or POST to the corresponding endpoints. Always validate payloads and handle versioning to prevent overwrites.
Use the error fields and status codes returned by the API to diagnose issues. Implement retries with backoff, and log errors to your monitoring tool. If an error persists, consult the API docs or support.
Zapier provides a built-in test feature to verify connections. You can run a test pull for sample coordinates and confirm that data maps correctly between GHL and Zapier.
Tags can be added to contacts via POST /contacts/{contactId}/tags and removed with DELETE. Use tags to categorize and filter contacts in your automations.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
