Authenticate to the Contacts API using OAuth 2.0 or API keys, depending on your GHL configuration. Keep credentials secure and rotate tokens regularly.
Zapier App Connector authentication uses OAuth 2.0 or API tokens issued by Zapier. Store tokens securely and refresh as needed.
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 viewed or updated in GHL, fetch the latest data into Zapier.
Actions: fetch contact data, pull related tasks, and sync notes.
GET /contacts/:contactId
Required fields: contactId, name, email
Trigger: New or updated contact in Zapier triggers a call to create or update in GHL.
Actions: POST /contacts/ to create a contact; PUT /contacts/:contactId to update.
POST /contacts/; PUT /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, name, email
Trigger: A new or updated task in Zapier creates or updates a matching task under a GHL contact.
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed; DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: contactId, taskId, title
Automate multi-step workflows without writing code.
Keep data in sync across tools in real time.
Leverage ready-made triggers and actions to move data fast.
This glossary defines common terms and the core integration concepts used when connecting GHL with Samdock via Zapier.
An interface that lets software applications communicate securely.
A specific URL path and HTTP method used to perform an action in an API.
A secure protocol for obtaining delegated access to resources.
A mechanism for one system to push data to another in real time.
Set up a Zap that mirrors contact updates from GHL to your CRM or marketing tools.
Automatically create or update tasks in Samdock when a GHL contact changes stage.
Use contact segments to trigger targeted campaigns in your marketing stack.
Obtain API keys and OAuth credentials from GHL and Zapier.
Create triggers and actions that map to the endpoints above.
Run end-to-end tests and enable live syncing.
GHL supports OAuth 2.0 for delegated access and API keys for server-to-server flows. In Samdock’s integration, begin by creating a GHL app to obtain a clientId and clientSecret, then exchange them for an access token. Keep credentials secure, rotate tokens regularly, and grant only the scopes you need (for example, contacts.readonly).
You can read contact data using endpoints like GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes. For broader access, GET /contacts/ lists all contacts and GET /contacts/business/:businessId filters by business.
Yes. Create a new contact with POST /contacts/ and update an existing one with PUT /contacts/:contactId. When updating, include only the fields you want to change (name, email, phone, etc.).
To attach tasks, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks with the task data. You can modify or complete a task using PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId and PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed.
Yes. The Zapier App Connector enables no-code wiring between GHL and Samdock using triggers and actions. Build a Zap that starts from a GHL event and uses API calls to propagate data to your other tools.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan and API usage. Plan for bursts by batching requests and optimizing calls. If limits are reached, implement exponential backoff and retries in Zapier.
Test in a staging environment by using test contacts and running end-to-end scenarios. Verify that triggers fire, data maps correctly, and error handling works before going live.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
