Use your GHL API credentials to securely authenticate requests to the Contacts API within the Zapier App Connector.
During setup, grant Zapier App Connector permission to read and write your Contacts data through the GHL API.

Brief definitions of terms and the data flow used in integrating the GHL Contacts API with the Zapier App Connector.
GHL API refers to the GHL platform’s application programming interface that enables programmatic access to Contacts, tasks, notes, appointments, and related resources.
An API endpoint is a specific URL path in the GHL API used to perform a defined operation (e.g., GET /contacts/:contactId).
The process of proving identity (via API keys, OAuth, or other methods) to securely access the GHL API from Zapier App Connector.
An event in Zapier that starts a workflow, such as a new or updated contact or an updated task, pulled from GHL via the API.
Create a Zap that invites new contacts to complete onboarding tasks and automatically assigns tasks and notes.
Automatically create and assign tasks to team members when a contact changes status in GHL.
Capture notes in GHL and trigger reminders or email follow-ups via Zapier.
In APPNAME, select the Zapier App Connector and authenticate with your GHL API credentials to establish a secure connection.
Choose the Contacts API endpoints (e.g., fetch contact, list tasks) and map fields to Zapier fields for automation.
Run test zaps to verify data flow, then enable live automation for your team.
No extensive coding is required. APPNAME provides a no-code interface to connect to the GHL Contacts API using your credentials. You can configure triggers and actions in a few clicks. If you are familiar with Zapier, you can build powerful workflows quickly. For advanced scenarios, you can still use custom webhooks or multi-step zaps.
The integration supports core endpoints such as fetching a contact, listing and managing tasks, notes, and appointments, and creating or updating contacts. The ENDPOINTLIST includes: 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.
Authentication occurs inside APPNAME during setup. You will supply GHL API credentials or OAuth tokens to authorize requests. APPNAME stores tokens securely and uses them to authorize each API call. If your GHL account uses multiple environments, ensure you select the correct environment in the connector.
Yes. You can fetch a contact’s details along with related tasks, notes, and appointments. You can also fetch all tasks for a contact or a specific task. This enables comprehensive visibility and orchestration within your automation flows.
Create a Zap that triggers on a new contact creation in GHL, then automatically generate tasks or notes in the related system. You can also set up “update task” or “complete task” actions to keep work synced as contact data changes.
Refer to the embedded endpoint references and the ENDPOINTLIST in this guide. You can also access the official API documentation provided by GHL for comprehensive endpoint details and parameter options.
