Authorize your Zapier workflow with OAuth 2.0 and the scope: contacts.readonly, so your app can read contact data and initiate messaging tasks.
Zapier App Connector uses OAuth 2.0 or API keys depending on configuration; connect your app to GHL using the standard OAuth flow to securely access contacts.
GET /contacts/:contactId (fetch a contact); GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks (retrieve tasks); GET /contacts/:contactId/notes (fetch notes); POST /contacts/ (create or update a contact); POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks (create a messaging task); PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId (update a task); POST /contacts/:contactId/tags (apply tags); GET /contacts/business/:businessId (fetch business data); GET /contacts/ (list contacts); GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments (fetch appointments).
Trigger: a new or updated contact in Zapier; Action: create or update the contact in GHL with POST /contacts/ and generate a messaging task with POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks.
Actions: POST /contacts/ to create/update; POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to schedule sending; optional POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed to close the task.
POST /contacts/
name, email, phone, messageContent
Trigger: contact notes updated or added; Action: create or fetch notes via GET /contacts/:contactId/notes and, if desired, create a linked message record.
Actions: GET /contacts/:contactId/notes to pull notes; POST /contacts/:contactId/notes (if available) to add notes; use notes to augment messaging context.
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
contactId, noteId, content
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/tags to assign or remove tags; use GET /contacts/ to pull contact data for messaging decisions.
POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
contactId, tagName
Fast setup without writing code; use triggers, actions, and data mapping to automate messages.
Centralized data flow between Contacts and messaging tasks for consistency.
Scalable workflow with testing, error handling, and live monitoring.
This integration uses API endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, data mapping, and testing to deliver messaging from Contacts data via Zapier.
A set of rules and tools that allow software to communicate and exchange data.
A specific URL in an API that performs a defined operation.
A callback mechanism that sends real-time data to another app when an event occurs.
An open standard for secure token-based authorization used by apps to access APIs.
When a new contact is created in GHL, Zapier creates or updates the contact and queues a welcome message as a messaging task.
Schedule periodic reminders if there is no recent activity, keeping the conversation warm.
Assign tags based on interests and trigger targeted messages to those segments.
Authenticate the Zapier App Connector to access Contacts API data via OAuth 2.0.
Select endpoints such as GET /contacts/:contactId and POST /contacts/ to drive messaging tasks.
Run end-to-end tests and monitor for errors before going live.
Answer paragraph 1. The Contacts API exposes endpoints to read and manage contact data, notes, tasks, and tags. By connecting through the Zapier App Connector, you can automate messaging workflows using this data. Answer paragraph 2. Start with authentication, then map trigger data to actions (e.g., create/update contact and queue a message). This no-code approach speeds up setup and reduces manual work.
Answer paragraph 1. Yes—by design, you can trigger messaging tasks or create notes or tags that drive outbound messages. Answer paragraph 2. Use the available endpoints (for example, POST /contacts/ and POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks) to initiate messaging actions from Zapier.
Answer paragraph 1. Use OAuth 2.0 with the Contacts API and Zapier App Connector to securely authorize access. Answer paragraph 2. If your setup requires API keys, configure them in the Zapier app settings and ensure the correct scopes are granted (e.g., contacts.readonly).
Answer paragraph 1. Key endpoints for Sendmsg include GET /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts/, and POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks. Answer paragraph 2. Depending on your workflow, you may also use GET /contacts/:contactId/notes and POST /contacts/:contactId/tags to enrich messaging context.
Answer paragraph 1. Use a test workflow in Zapier that creates a test contact, then triggers a messaging task via POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to ensure the message is queued correctly. Answer paragraph 2. Check logs and task status to verify delivery and adjust mapping as needed.
Answer paragraph 1. You can update messaging preferences by updating the contact data or tagging, which can influence who receives future messages. Answer paragraph 2. Use endpoints like PUT /contacts/:contactId and POST /contacts/:contactId/tags to adjust preferences programmatically.
Answer paragraph 1. Our resources include API docs, example workflows, and community guides. Answer paragraph 2. Visit the Rankr help center and the Zapier app connector docs for step-by-step tutorials.
