Use OAuth 2.0 or API key-based authentication with a token that has the scope: contacts.readonly to read data from the Contacts API. In Zapier, connect securely and refresh as needed.
Zapier uses OAuth 2.0 or API keys to authorize access. Store credentials securely in Zapier’s vault and rotate them regularly.
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
Triggered when you need a contact’s core profile to drive a workflow in Zapier.
Actions: GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch core fields; optional fetch of tasks and notes using related endpoints.
GET /contacts/:contactId
contactId, name, email, phone, company, lastModified
Use this when you need a contact’s task data for automation or reporting.
Actions: GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
contactId, taskId, taskTitle, status, dueDate
Useful for context on decisions, meetings, and history.
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
contactId, noteId, noteTitle, contentPreview, createdAt

Create Zaps to automate workflows between your apps using the Contacts API data.
The Contacts API supports OAuth 2.0 or API key authentication. Use a token with the correct scope (contacts.readonly) to read contact data. In Zapier, securely store credentials and renew tokens as needed. The read-only scope ensures you can fetch information without modifying records.
Endpoints include: GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, GET /contacts/ to list contacts, and several read operations for related data. Write operations are covered by separate endpoints if needed.
Currently, this integration focuses on read-only access. To update records, you would use the Contacts API write endpoints (e.g., POST, PUT) via separate authenticated calls or another integration path.
Map fields like name, email, phone, and company from the Contacts API to Zapier fields. Use Zapier’s field mapping to align values.
Rate limits vary by plan. Consider caching frequently requested data and batching requests where possible.
Zapier stores credentials securely. Use OAuth tokens or API keys; rotate keys regularly and use secure vaults.
If a contact is deleted in GHL, the integration will not show it in fetch results. Consider archiving or soft-deleting in your workflow.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
