Test data flows map fields and deploy the automation
No coding is required to connect GHL Contacts API with Zapier App Connector. The setup uses standard authentication and prebuilt actions and triggers. Follow the guided steps to authorize, configure endpoints and test the workflow to verify data flows before going live.
Zapier App Connector supports API key and OAuth 2.0 based authentication for GHL connections. You can choose the method that matches your security policy and rotate credentials as needed. For production, we recommend OAuth 2.0 with the least privilege scope necessary for your workflows.
A basic sync often uses endpoints like GET /contacts/:contactId to read contact data and GET /contacts/ to list contacts. You can extend with POST /contacts/ to create and POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to attach tasks. Map essential fields such as contactId name and email to ensure reliable data flow.
Yes. You can update contacts using PUT /contacts/:contactId and add notes with POST /contacts/:contactId/notes from Zapier. Ensure your workflow includes appropriate error handling and conflict resolution strategies.
There are rate limits on API calls to protect service reliability. If you anticipate high volume, contact support to discuss rate limits and batching options. Implement exponential backoff and retry logic in your Zapier workflows to handle temporary throttling gracefully.
Field mapping is done in the Zapier setup screen. Align GHL fields such as contactId name email and phone with your target app fields. Use data transforms to format dates and concatenate first and last names as needed.
API call logs are accessible in the Zapier task history and within GHL integration settings. Enable logging to capture request responses and troubleshoot mapping or authentication issues.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
