To access data from Contacts API, use your API credentials with the scope: contacts.readonly. This ensures secure read-only access unless you enable additional permissions.
In Zapier, add a new connection for the Contacts API integration and authorize access. Store credentials securely and rotate keys as needed.

No-code setup lets you connect Contacts API to Zapier App Connector in minutes.
Automate data flows and trigger actions across apps without writing any server code.
Drag-and-drop workflow builder makes maintaining automations simple.
Key elements include endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, and data fields used to map contacts data to Zapier triggers.
A specific URL path and HTTP method used to perform an action against an API.
Credentials or tokens that authorize requests to the API.
An event that starts a Zap workflow.
A URL endpoint that receives real-time data from another service.
Use GET /contacts/:contactId and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to push updates as they happen.
Trigger on notes and create tasks with POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks.
Link appointments via GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments to calendar apps.
Obtain API credentials and configure a test connection in Zapier App Connector.
Select GET /contacts/:contactId and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to start.
Create triggers and actions using drag-and-drop builder.
Yes. This connection supports reading contact data and related sub-resources such as tasks, notes, and appointments. Write permissions can be enabled per your API plan, but default access is read-only for safety. If you need to write, request additional scopes and update the connection settings. If you enable write access, ensure you follow best practices for permission management and audit trails to protect data integrity.
No coding is required to create basic automations in Zapier App Connector. You can design triggers and actions using the visual builder. For more advanced logic, you can leverage built-in filters, paths, and simple code steps, but most scenarios can be accomplished without writing code.
This page highlights key endpoints such as GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, and GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments, among others. Use these endpoints to map data to your Zapier workflows and build tailored automations around contact records.
Zapier App Connector uses secure authentication (API keys or OAuth) and encryption in transit and at rest. You control access by configuring connections and scopes. Rotate credentials regularly and monitor access logs. All data transfers conform to your organization’s security requirements and API provider best practices.
To test the connection, create a test connection in Zapier App Connector and run sample triggers and actions against the provided endpoints. Check the task history and logs in Zapier to verify data is flowing correctly and adjust mappings as needed.
Yes. You can filter by fields using Zapier’s built-in Filter or by configuring query parameters in endpoints where supported. This helps you work with subsets of contacts or tasks and fine-tune your automation logic.
If credentials expire, re-authenticate by re-connecting the app in Zapier App Connector and refreshing tokens. If API keys rotate, update them in your connection settings to restore access and re-run tests to confirm connectivity.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
