Use OAuth 2.0 or API keys to authorize requests in Zapier App Connector to the Contacts API.
Zapier App Connector securely stores tokens and refreshes them as needed to access the Contacts API.
GET /contacts/:contactId; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id; GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments; GET /contacts/; GET /contacts/business/:businessId; API Endpoint9: contacts.write; POST /contacts/; PUT /contacts/:contactId; DELETE /contacts/:contactId; POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed; DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
Trigger: A contact is accessed or created, bringing in associated tasks and notes.
Actions: Fetch contact details, pull related tasks and notes, and sync to your workflow.
GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, name, email, phone, tags
Trigger: Task updates for a contact.
Actions: Create, update, and mark tasks as completed.
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: taskId, title, status, dueDate
Trigger: Notes added or updated for a contact.
Actions: Create and update notes.
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
Key fields: noteId, content, createdAt
Automate contact management and task tracking across systems.
Reduce manual data entry and errors through reliable syncing.
Scale your automations with predictable data flows and triggers.
Learn the essential terms and processes used throughout this guide: GHL API, APPNAME, endpoints, triggers, actions, and data fields.
The GHL API is the REST interface for accessing resources such as contacts, tasks, notes, and more from your Go-to-CRM.
A specific URL path that performs a defined operation on data, for example GET /contacts/:contactId.
The process of proving identity to access the API, typically via OAuth 2.0 or API keys.
A method for real-time updates where GHL sends an HTTP POST to a configured URL.
Trigger when a new contact is created in GHL and automatically create a welcome task or assign a starter workflow in Zapier App Connector.
Sync notes to your knowledge base, docs, or team chat app as part of the contact lifecycle.
Update tasks and trigger follow-ups when statuses change in GHL, keeping teams aligned.
Obtain API keys or OAuth tokens and authorize the integration between GHL and the Zapier app.
Choose endpoints to expose (contacts, notes, tasks) and map fields to your app data.
Run tests, monitor data flows, and enable automation in production.
The integration supports OAuth 2.0 and API key-based authentication. In Zapier App Connector, securely configure the chosen method and store tokens safely. If tokens expire, the connector can auto-refresh to maintain a seamless connection. For most setups, OAuth 2.0 provides a smoother experience with refresh tokens.
You can access core endpoints for contacts, tasks, notes, appointments, and business profiles. The connector supports read and write operations depending on your API key scope. Review the GHL permissions and grant the necessary scopes in your app configuration.
Data mapping is handled in Zapier, where you align GHL fields (name, email, phone, notes, tasks) with your destination fields. Use sample data to validate mappings and ensure field types match. If a field is missing, you can create a custom mapping or a formatter step.
Rate limits apply per your GHL plan and endpoint usage. If you hit a limit, Zapier will retry with exponential backoff and you can batch requests where supported. Consider caching or scheduling to minimize calls.
Common errors include authentication failures, missing required fields, and invalid IDs. The Zapier app will surface error messages with codes. Implement retries with backoff and log errors for troubleshooting.
Yes, you can manage tags via create and update operations if your API key scope includes write access. You can fetch tags on GET /contacts/:contactId or manipulate with POST/PUT to the appropriate endpoints.
Support is available via the Rankr knowledge base and developer forums. For hands-on help, contact our support team, and share your integration details for faster assistance.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
