To use the Contacts API, you’ll authenticate with OAuth 2.0 and scopes such as contacts.readonly. Store tokens securely and rotate them regularly.
Zapier App Connector uses OAuth 2.0 client credentials or API keys to access GHL, ensuring secure, limited access to your data within Spark Membership workflows.
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; 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 on a contact create or update by polling GET /contacts/:contactId to detect changes.
Actions: Retrieve full contact details with GET /contacts/:contactId, then fetch related tasks, notes, and appointments to assemble a complete CRM profile.
/contacts/:contactId
contactId, name, email, phone
Trigger on task updates for a contact by polling GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks.
Actions: Create or update tasks using POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks and PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; mark completed with PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed; delete with DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId.
/contacts/:contactId/tasks
taskId, title, status, dueDate
Trigger on notes changes for a contact via GET /contacts/:contactId/notes.
Actions: Create or update notes via POST /contacts/:contactId/notes; manage tags via POST /contacts/:contactId/tags.
/contacts/:contactId/notes
noteId, content, date
Automate routine CRM chores without writing code, reducing manual data entry and errors.
Consolidate data from Contacts, Tasks, Notes, and Tags into Spark Membership dashboards for faster insights.
Accelerate onboarding and follow-ups with automated triggers and actions across endpoints.
Overview of core concepts, endpoints, and data types used when connecting the GHL Contacts API with Zapier App Connector for Spark Membership.
GHL’s RESTful interface for retrieving and updating contact records and related data like tasks, notes, and appointments.
A specific URL path for an API operation.
Authorization framework used to grant limited access to resources without sharing credentials.
A data object such as a contact, task, note, or tag.
Pull contact data and related tasks/notes to build a complete profile for sales outreach and personalized campaigns.
Trigger task creation or updates when a contact is added or modified to ensure timely follow-ups.
Sync notes and tags to enhance segmentation and targeted messaging in Spark Membership.
Create a new connection in Zapier App Connector and authorize access to GHL’s Contacts API using OAuth 2.0.
Choose endpoints to monitor (e.g., GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks) and map fields to Spark Membership fields.
Create a zap that triggers on changes, performs actions like create/update tasks or notes, and routes data back to Spark Membership.
The Contacts API supports scopes such as contacts.readonly to control what data can be read. You should grant the minimal required scope and rotate tokens regularly. This protects contact data while enabling automated workflows. In Spark Membership, use these scopes to pull contact data for viewing and automation without making destructive changes.
Key endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId for profile data, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks for tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes for notes, and POST /contacts/ to create new contacts. Other endpoints cover updates, deletions, and tagging to support end-to-end workflows in Spark Membership.
Security is handled via OAuth 2.0 with tokens stored securely. Zapier App Connector uses encrypted storage and token rotation. You should implement least-privilege access and monitor API usage to detect anomalies.
No traditional coding is required. The integration uses no-code/low-code connectors in Zapier App Connector to map fields, set triggers, and define actions across the listed endpoints.
Yes. Notes and tags can be synced via endpoints like GET /contacts/:contactId/notes and POST /contacts/:contactId/tags, enabling richer segmentation and consistent data across GHL and Spark Membership.
Tokens are managed through OAuth 2.0 flows. Store refresh tokens securely, implement token rotation, and set policies for revocation and re-authentication as needed.
Mappings are configurable in Zapier App Connector. You can customize which fields map to Spark Membership’s data model, including contact fields, task properties, and note content.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
