Your Sendlane GHL (Contacts API) credentials authorize requests to manage contacts, notes, tasks, and more. Keep your API key secure and rotate it regularly.
In Zapier, connect your Zapier App Connector account to the Sendlane Contacts API by selecting the GHL app and granting access. This creates a secure token for subsequent API calls.
GET /contacts/:contactId – Retrieve a single contact GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks – List tasks for a contact GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId – Get a specific task GET /contacts/:contactId/notes – List notes GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id – Get a note GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments – List appointments GET /contacts/ – List all contacts GET /contacts/business/:businessId – List contacts for a business contacts.write – Permission to modify contacts POST /contacts/ – Create a contact PUT /contacts/:contactId – Update a contact DELETE /contacts/:contactId – Delete a contact POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks – Create a task PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId – Update a task PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed – Mark a task as completed DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId – Delete a task POST /contacts/:contactId/tags – Add tags to a contact
Trigger: New or updated contact in Sendlane will push to connected apps via Zapier.
Actions: Create, update, or fetch contact details using POST /contacts, PUT /contacts/:contactId, and GET /contacts/:contactId.
GET /contacts/:contactId and POST /contacts/
Key fields: contactId, email, firstName, lastName, phone
Trigger: Task changes (created/updated) for a contact.
Actions: Create, update, complete tasks via endpoints 13, 14, 15, 16 and fetch via 2.
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: taskId, title, dueDate, status
Trigger: New or updated notes or tags on a contact.
Actions: Create notes and tags with POST /contacts/:contactId/notes and POST /contacts/:contactId/tags.
POST /contacts/:contactId/notes; POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
Key fields: noteId, content, tag
Automate repetitive tasks without writing code, saving time and reducing errors.
Keep contact data synchronized across apps, ensuring consistent information.
Scale workflows quickly with prebuilt Zap templates and conditional logic.
Understand core elements: endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, and data mapping, and how they work together to automate workflows between Sendlane and Zapier.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to access a resource in an API.
A method to verify you are allowed to perform actions, typically via API keys or OAuth tokens.
An event that starts a Zap or automation in Zapier when data changes in GHL.
A free-form annotation attached to a contact or record within GHL.
Automatically route new contacts to the right team or campaign based on fields like industry or location.
Enrich contact records with data from external sources to improve segmentation and outreach.
Automatically create tasks and reminders for follow-ups based on contact activity.
Obtain your GHL API key and securely connect the Zapier App Connector.
Select endpoints such as GET /contacts and POST /contacts to map data.
Create a Zap that uses Contacts API data to trigger actions in your apps.
No coding is required to connect the Contacts API with Zapier App Connector. Use Zap templates and built-in actions to map fields and trigger workflows. The integration relies on standard REST calls and secure authentication. Two: You can start with a prebuilt Zap and customize it without writing code, making automation accessible to non-developers.
GHL Contacts API uses API keys (and potentially OAuth) to authorize requests. Zapier App Connector manages the connection token for you, simplifying authentication across steps. Two: Always store credentials securely, rotate keys regularly, and monitor access permissions to protect data.
Common automation uses GET /contacts to pull records, POST /contacts to create new ones, and PUT /contacts/:contactId to update. For tasks, use POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks and PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId to update. Two: Use notes and tags endpoints to enrich contact records and improve segmentation.
Yes. You can create or update contacts and tasks via Zapier by selecting the appropriate actions mapped to the endpoints. Two: Test each step in Zapier to ensure data is correctly created or updated in Sendlane and downstream apps.
Yes, there are rate limits for API calls. Exceeding limits may slow responses or cause temporary blocks. Two: Implement batching, set reasonable delays, and use webhooks when appropriate to reduce polling.
Error handling in Zapier includes built-in retries with exponential backoff. Two: If a call fails, review the error message, adjust the mapping or authentication, and retry the step manually before re-running the zap.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
