To use the Contacts API with the Zapier App Connector, you will authenticate via OAuth or an API key granted by your GHL account. Ensure the app has the contacts.readonly scope enabled for read operations and add write scopes if you plan to modify records.
In the Zapier App Connector, connect your GHL credentials, select the Contacts API as the target, and grant access permissions to allow creates, updates, and deletes as needed. Store tokens securely and rotate them per policy.

The GHL API Name in this guide is Contacts API. The APPNAME is the Zapier App Connector. Together they enable a no-code bridge to move data between SocialBee and GHL. If you need custom endpoints, consult the API docs for advanced use cases.
Authentication is handled through OAuth tokens or API keys issued by your GHL account and the Zapier App Connector. Ensure proper scoping: read only for retrieval, write for updates. If you rotate credentials, reauthorize in Zapier.
No coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides a no-code interface to map fields, set triggers, and run tests.
Yes, you can manage contacts, tasks, and notes using supported endpoints and actions. The docs show supported operations and example workflows.
Yes, you can map fields between SocialBee and GHL. Use the field mapping tool in Zapier to align name, email, phone, and custom fields.
Test in Zapier with sample data. Use the built-in test mode to simulate triggers and actions before going live.
If you hit rate limits or errors, re-authenticate, review error messages, and consider batching requests or upgrading plan.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
