The Contacts API exposes endpoints to read and manage contact data such as people, tasks, notes, and appointments. It lets you build automations with the Zapier App Connector to keep CRM data in sync with Stripe events.
No code is required for basic setups using the Zapier App Connector. You can map fields and triggers with a drag and drop interface. For advanced needs you can add custom logic in Zapier steps.
Start with GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch a contact. Then use POST /contacts/ to create or update records. For related data use the endpoints for tasks, notes, and appointments.
Yes there are rate limits on the GHL API. If you hit them, back off and retry with exponential backoff. Consider batching updates where possible.
Yes you can filter by businessId using GET /contacts/business/:businessId. This helps segment data for Stripe related workflows. Use this to scope syncing to a subset.
Authentication can be done via OAuth or API keys depending on your setup. Ensure the app has the proper scope and keep credentials secure. Rotate keys regularly.
API keys are shown in the Contacts API dashboard within GHL. Copy them securely and store in your Zapier app. If keys are rotated, update the app configuration.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
