The Contacts API requires secure authorization with the scope set to contacts.readonly. Use your OAuth credentials to obtain an access token and attach it to API requests.
Set up the Spoki app in Zapier to authorize access to the Contacts API. Ensure you grant the required scope and test the connection.
– 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 – 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

Automate CRM data flow between Spoki and Contacts API with no code required, using the Zapier app connector.
Real-time data sync and bi-directional movement with minimal setup and maintenance.
Access to tasks, notes, appointments, and tags enables richer automations across teams.
Definitions of terms such as contact, endpoint, trigger, action, and field mappings used in this integration.
A person in your CRM with attributes like name, email, and phone.
A specific API path used to access or modify data in the Contacts API.
An event that starts an automation, such as a new or updated contact.
An operation performed in response to a trigger, such as fetching data or updating a record.
When a new contact enters Spoki, fetch their profile from Contacts API and create a CRM record.
Use task data to trigger reminders in Spoki and assign follow ups.
Sync contact notes to Spoki to build a complete activity timeline.
Authorize Spoki to access Contacts API with the required scope: contacts.readonly.
Choose endpoints you plan to use such as GET /contacts/:contactId and POST /contacts/.
Map relevant fields between Spoki and Contacts API and run a test to verify data flow.
No coding is required to connect Spoki with the Contacts API when using the Zapier app connector. You configure the connection in the Zapier interface, authorize the GHL Contacts API, and start selecting endpoints to pull or push data. The setup guides you through field mapping and basic triggers. If you prefer, you can also test individual endpoints in a sandbox to ensure data flows correctly.
The integration exposes a broad set of endpoints from the Contacts API, including retrieving contacts, their tasks, notes, appointments, and tags. You can select the endpoints you need and combine them into automations. Some endpoints require additional path parameters such as contactId or businessId.
Authentication is handled through the Zapier app connector. You will authorize Spoki to access the Contacts API with the required scope (for example, contacts.readonly). After authorization, all requests carry the access token automatically. If token expiration occurs, the connector will refresh tokens as needed.
Yes. You can map standard and custom fields between Spoki and the Contacts API. Use the field mapping interface to align contact attributes, notes, tasks, and other data so automations reflect the exact information you need.
Most plans that include API access and Zapier app connections support this workflow. If you are unsure, confirm your plan’s API and app connector allowances in your account or contact support for guidance.
Use the built-in test feature in the Zapier app connector to simulate triggers and actions. Validate that retrieving a contact returns the expected data and that subsequent actions (like fetching tasks or notes) execute as configured.
API rate limits and error handling guidelines are documented in the API reference. You can view quotas in your API provider dashboard and implement retry logic in your automations to handle transient errors gracefully.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
