Key elements and processes you’ll encounter when integrating GHL Contacts API with Zapier App Connector.
API stands for Application Programming Interface — a set of rules that lets software communicate and exchange data.
A webhook is a way for apps to provide real-time information to other apps via HTTP callbacks.
Authentication verifies identity and grants access, commonly using OAuth 2.0 tokens or API keys.
An endpoint is a specific URL in an API that performs a particular action or returns data.
Capture new form submissions from your website and automatically create contacts in Contacts API through Zapier, then trigger follow-up tasks.
When a sales email is labeled, update the related task in the Contacts API to reflect status.
Add notes and tags automatically when a contact engages with your pricing page or emails.
Connect your GHL account and authorize Zapier App Connector to access Contacts API.
Select available triggers and actions, like New Contact or Create Task.
Assemble steps in Zapier to automate end-to-end processes.
No coding is required. This connector provides triggers and actions you can use in Zapier to automate workflows. You can combine these triggers and actions to tailor workflows to your business needs.
Supported authentication methods include OAuth 2.0 tokens or API keys. Set up a secure connection in your Zapier account, and renew tokens as needed.
A full endpoint list is available in the Endpoints section. You can start with GET /contacts/:contactId and POST /contacts/ to create entries.
In Zapier, use the Test Trigger and Test Action features to verify connectivity and data fields.
Yes. You can create notes and tags alongside standard contact data using the Notes and Tags endpoints.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan and Zapier tier; typical usage stays well within common limits for most workflows.
Endpoint details are listed under the Endpoints section; each entry includes method and path for quick reference.
