Authenticate via OAuth 2.0 using your GHL credentials and authorize the Zapier App Connector to access Contacts data with the scope contacts.readonly.
In Zapier, connect the app by selecting OAuth, entering your client credentials, and granting access. Your credentials are stored securely.

Method paths: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId
Key fields: contactId, taskId, title, dueDate, status
Trigger: A note or appointment is added for a contact and drives downstream actions.
Actions: Create notes and register appointments; link to the correct contact.
Method paths: POST /contacts/:contactId/notes; GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments
Key fields: contactId, noteId (notes), appointmentId (appointments)
Automate repetitive tasks without writing code, saving time and reducing errors.
Centralize workflows with triggers, actions, and filters across apps.
Scale CRM operations by connecting Contacts API data to other tools in a single workflow.
Understand the core elements: endpoints, triggers, actions, and data fields used to automate Contacts API workflows.
OAuth 2.0 is an authorization framework that lets apps access user data with permission using tokens rather than passwords.
Endpoints are URLs that expose resources from a service for retrieval or manipulation.
Rate limits cap how many API requests you can make in a given time window to protect the service.
Webhooks are real-time notifications sent from a service to your app when specific events occur.
Automatically create or update contact records in Contacts API when a new lead is added in your funnel.
Create tasks in Contacts API when tasks are created in your project management tool, keeping records aligned.
Attach notes to contacts when deal stages change, via a Zap workflow.
Obtain OAuth client ID and secret from the GHL dashboard and set the callback URL to your Zapier app.
Enter credentials, set scopes to contacts.readonly, and authorize the connection.
Map contact fields (name, email, phone) and test each endpoint to ensure accuracy.
The Zapier App Connector integration with the Contacts API lets you automate CRM workflows without writing code. It connects your Contacts API data to Zapier triggers and actions so you can move data between systems easily. Once connected, you can start building Zaps that respond to changes in Contacts, create tasks, or log notes automatically. This setup makes it simple to scale your automation without custom development.
You can access endpoints for contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments, including creating and updating contacts, managing tasks, and attaching notes. The endpoints above cover common use cases, but you can tailor access to fit your workflow. If a needed endpoint is not listed, you can typically use a supported method to achieve the same outcome via Zapier.
Authentication is handled through OAuth 2.0 with your GHL credentials. You grant access to the Zapier App Connector for the specified scope (e.g., contacts.readonly), and Zapier stores the tokens securely for ongoing operations.
No coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides a no-code interface to map triggers, actions, and data fields. You can build powerful automations using prebuilt templates and simple field mappings.
Test the connection and each action in Zapier using sample data. Run a test zap to ensure mappings are correct, endpoints respond as expected, and data flows properly between Contacts API and your apps.
Yes. You can fetch notes and appointments using the appropriate endpoints. Map these data points in Zapier to include them in workflows and reports.
Docs and endpoint lists are available in the integration guide and the endpoint section above. Use the Endpoints list to review available resources and parameter formats.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
