Begin by securely authenticating to the GHL Contacts API with the required scope contacts.readonly. Use OAuth or API keys as supported and grant Zapier App Connector access to read contact data for Trigger and Action steps.
In Zapier, connect your Spotler Mail account to the GHL Contacts API, choosing the appropriate connection and enabling required permissions for syncing contacts notes tasks and more.
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
Trigger: Form submission from Spotler Mail creates or updates a contact in GHL via POST /contacts/ and related fields.
Actions: Create contact, set tags, assign to business, and create onboarding tasks using the endpoints for contacts.
POST /contacts/
Required: email, firstName, lastName; Optional: phone, company
Trigger: Updated contact in GHL triggers a fetch of latest data via GET /contacts/:contactId
Actions: Pull latest contact data and update corresponding fields in the connected app or CRM
GET /contacts/:contactId
Keys: contactId, lastUpdated
Trigger: New task or note added to a contact in GHL
Actions: Create tasks via POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks and add notes via POST /contacts/:contactId/notes
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; POST /contacts/:contactId/notes
Keys: contactId, taskTitle, notesContent
Automate data flow without custom code reducing manual data entry
Build multi step workflows with triggers actions and filters
Keep data synchronized across Spotler Mail and your CRM in real time
Key elements include endpoints authentication triggers actions and data fields used to move contact data between GHL and Zapier
A specific URL path that performs an operation on a resource in an API
An event in one app that starts a workflow in another app
The process of proving identity and granting access to the API
A piece of data used inside requests and responses such as email or contactId
Automatically create and tag leads based on form submissions using POST /contacts/ and tagging endpoints
Create a new contact assign to business and generate onboarding tasks via multiple endpoints
Sync notes and tasks to support tickets using notes and tasks endpoints
Authorize access from Zapier App Connector to your GHL Contacts API with the required scope
Choose trigger events and map fields to actions such as create contact or add notes
Run tests verify data flow via endpoints then deploy to production
You will typically need a valid GHL API credential such as an API key or OAuth token with the appropriate scope. For this page the scope is contacts.readonly. Ensure the credential is kept secure and not exposed in public fronts. After you obtain credentials, connect them in Zapier App Connector. This establishes the bridge for triggers and actions.
For basic syncing you will at minimum use GET /contacts/:contactId to read contact data and POST /contacts/ to create new contacts. Additional endpoints like GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks and POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks enable task and note management as part of richer automation.
Yes. This integration is designed for no code flow building. You can create workflows with triggers actions and field mappings without writing code. Advanced users can still tailor endpoints and data transformations as needed.
In Zapier App Connector go to Connections and add a new connection for the GHL Contacts API. Choose the authentication type supported by GHL such as OAuth or API Key and grant access to read or modify data as required by your workflow.
The minimal required fields typically include email and name fields for contact creation. Depending on your business rules you may also include phone company or notes. Always map core identifiers to ensure reliable sync.
Use the built in test feature in Zapier to run a dry run of triggers and actions. Verify the payloads against the API response. You can also use endpoint examples provided in this guide to validate responses before going live.
Endpoint references are listed in the Endpoints section of this guide. You can copy the exact URL paths and sample payloads to model your own flows. Having a local reference helps keep mappings consistent across your automations.
