Authenticate to the Contacts API using your GHL credentials. Use the scope ‘contacts.readonly’ when fetching data and keep keys secure.
Authenticate the Zapier App Connector with GHL using OAuth 2.0 or an API key, test the connection, and store tokens securely.

Trigger: A new contact is created in Zapier or an existing contact is updated in GHL, initiating a sync.
Actions: Create or update a contact in GHL using POST /contacts/ or PUT /contacts/:contactId; map fields like email, firstName, lastName, and phone.
Typical methods include POST /contacts/ to create and PUT /contacts/:contactId to update; use GET /contacts/:contactId for verification.
Key fields: email, firstName, lastName, phone, company, tags
Trigger: A contact’s task is created, updated, or completed in Zapier.
Actions: Create tasks (POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks), update tasks (PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId), mark as completed (PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed), fetch tasks (GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks).
Paths: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks;
Fields: taskId, title, dueDate, status, completed
Trigger: Notes are added or updated, or tags are assigned to a contact.
Actions: Create notes (POST /contacts/:contactId/notes); add tags (POST /contacts/:contactId/tags).
Methods: POST /contacts/:contactId/notes; POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
Fields: note content, noteId, tag IDs or names
No-code setup lets you connect GHL data to your apps in minutes without writing code.
Automations run in real time with built-in retries and clear error handling.
Low maintenance: endpoints and field mappings update automatically as your GHL instance evolves.
Key elements include API endpoints, triggers, actions, authentication, and data mapping between GHL and your apps.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to access or modify data in the GHL API.
An event in Zapier that starts an automation, such as a new contact, a task change, or a note addition.
A task performed by Zapier in response to a trigger, such as creating or updating a contact or task.
The process of proving identity and permissions to access GHL data via the API, typically via OAuth 2.0 or API keys.
Capture a new lead in Zapier, create the contact in GHL, and automatically assign an onboarding task.
When a support ticket is opened, push a note to the corresponding GHL contact for context.
Auto-tag contacts based on source or behavior to segment campaigns in GHL.
Set up OAuth 2.0 or API key exchange and verify the connection.
Select and map the required endpoints (contacts, tasks, notes, and tags) in Zapier.
Create Zaps that trigger on events and perform actions in GHL with minimal setup.
No coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides triggers and actions that map to GHL endpoints. Connect your GHL account, select the Contacts API, and configure the fields. You can test the setup and turn on automations quickly.
To create or update a contact you typically use POST /contacts/ to create and PUT /contacts/:contactId to update, along with GET /contacts/:contactId for verification. For related data, use POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, POST /contacts/:contactId/notes, and POST /contacts/:contactId/tags.
Yes. Use OAuth 2.0 or API keys, rotate tokens regularly, and restrict scopes to readonly or write as required. The Zapier App Connector stores credentials securely and tests each connection.
Yes. You can fetch tasks and notes using GET endpoints. You can also batch requests by triggering multiple lookups in a Zap.
Error handling: use built-in retries, exponential backoff, and clear error messages. In Zapier you can map a retry policy and alert on failures.
Yes. Use tags endpoint to add or modify tags on a contact. You can automate tagging based on source, behavior, or form submission.
Data mappings are defined in the Zapier app interface. You can view field mappings in your Zap and in the GHL dataset. Ensure the mapping aligns with your workflow.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
