To access data, authorize your GHL account with the required scope: contacts.readonly. Use OAuth 2.0 or the supported API keys, then test the connection to ensure you can read contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments across SpamCheck-ai workflows.
Authorize the Zapier App Connector to access your GHL data, selecting the Contacts API scope and securely saving credentials for ongoing automated flows.
GET /contacts/:contactId — Retrieve a single contact; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks — List tasks for a contact; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Get a specific task; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes — List notes for a contact; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id — Get a specific note; GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments — List appointments for a contact; GET /contacts/ — List all contacts; GET /contacts/business/:businessId — List contacts for a business; contacts.write — Write access; POST /contacts/ — Create a contact; PUT /contacts/:contactId — Update a contact; DELETE /contacts/:contactId — Delete a contact; POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks — Create a task; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Update a task; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed — Mark a task complete; DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Delete a task; POST /contacts/:contactId/tags — Add tags
Trigger: Retrieve a contact’s data on-demand with GET /contacts/:contactId, then pull its related tasks.
Actions: Fetch related notes and appointments as needed; map fields like contactId, name, and email to downstream apps.
GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, name, email, phone
Trigger: When you need all tasks for a contact, call GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks.
Actions: Include task details, status, and due dates; optionally filter by completed status.
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: taskId, title, status, dueDate
Trigger: Update a task via PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId to change status or details, then optionally call the completed path.
Actions: Update task data and signal completion using PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed.
PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId
Key fields: contactId, taskId, status
Build powerful automations without writing code.
Fast setup with visual workflows and triggers.
Seamless data syncing between GHL and your apps.
Overview of essential elements and processes used when connecting GHL’s Contacts API to the Zapier App Connector for SpamCheck-ai.
The Go High-Level API that exposes contacts, tasks, notes, and more; used to fetch or modify data.
A specific URL path in the API that performs a function, e.g., GET /contacts/:contactId.
Authentication framework used to authorize apps to access GHL resources on behalf of a user.
A callback URL that allows apps to receive real-time updates from GHL.
Automatically verify new contacts for spam signals as they are added, then route clean leads to your nurturing sequence.
Create onboarding tasks when a new contact is created and update their status as actions complete, all without code.
Push contact updates to CRMs, marketing platforms, and support systems to keep everyone aligned.
Grant the required scopes (e.g., contacts.readonly) and connect your GHL account securely.
Define how to map contactId, name, email to Zapier fields and set up endpoint paths for your workflows.
Run test runs, verify data flows, and enable the automation for SpamCheck-ai.
GET /contacts/:contactId returns a single contact by its unique identifier, along with all available fields for that contact. In contrast, GET /contacts/ lists multiple contacts or search results based on the provided criteria. Use the single-contact endpoint when you need precise information about one contact, and use the list endpoint to browse or batch-process several records.
OAuth 2.0 is the recommended method to authorize apps to access GHL resources. It provides secure access tokens and granular scopes. If your setup supports API keys, you can use them in trusted environments, but OAuth is preferred for user-level permissions and revocation control.
For SpamCheck-ai, you typically need at least contacts.readonly to fetch contact data and related resources. If you plan to create or modify records, you may require write scopes (e.g., contacts.write). Always align scopes with the minimum access necessary for your automation.
Yes. You can share example payloads showing how to map fields like contactId, name, email, and phone to your Zapier actions. Payload samples help validate field types and ensure downstream apps receive consistent data.
Absolutely. Zapier App Connector provides no-code builders to create flows, triggers, and actions that leverage GHL endpoints without writing code. You can assemble steps visually and test within the platform.
Test the connection by running a dry-run, verifying response structures, and checking field mappings. Use a sample contactId to confirm that the data retrieved or updated matches expectations before activating the workflow.
Endpoint documentation is available in the GHL API reference and the Zapier App Connector docs. You can consult endpoint summaries, required parameters, and example requests to design your automations.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
