Access to the Contacts API uses OAuth 2.0 tokens and secure credentials. Use your GHL API credentials to authorize requests and respect rate limits.
In Zapier, connect your account and store credentials securely. Use token-based auth to authorize each call to GHL.

Trigger: New or updated contact in GHL prompts quick retrieval of related tasks and notes.
Actions: GET /contacts/:contactId to pull core data, then GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to fetch tasks.
GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, name, email, phone, status
Trigger: Note added or tag updated for a contact.
Actions: GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, POST /contacts/:contactId/tags.
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes; POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
Key fields: contactId, noteId, tag
Trigger: A new task is created for a contact.
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed
Key fields: taskId, title, dueDate, status
No-code automation lets non-developers integrate data between GHL and your apps quickly.
Visual builders and prebuilt triggers make it easy to prototype and deploy automations.
Rapid iteration with reusable actions reduces manual work and errors.
Understand endpoints, triggers, actions, authentication, and how data flows between GHL and Zapier App Connector.
The process of proving your identity and authorizing API requests using OAuth 2.0 tokens or API keys.
A specific URL path in the GHL API that performs an action or returns data.
An event in GHL that starts a workflow in Zapier App Connector.
An operation executed in your target app as a result of a Zap trigger.
Capture leads from form submissions and push them into Contacts API, then trigger follow-up tasks or campaigns.
When a contact is updated, propagate changes to Contacts API and downstream apps in real time.
Automatically create and assign tasks to the right contact when a new ticket arrives.
Set up OAuth 2.0 or API key, then test your connection in Zapier.
Select endpoints like GET /contacts/:contactId and map the fields to your target app.
Create a Zap that triggers on contact events and performs actions in your tools.
Authentication is done via OAuth 2.0 tokens or API keys. When you connect the GHL Contacts API in Zapier, you’ll authorize your account once and then securely sign each request. Always follow best practices for storing tokens and rotating credentials. In Zapier, the connector will handle token refreshes automatically where supported.
The Contacts API exposes endpoints to read contacts, tasks, notes, and more. Typical calls include getting a contact by ID, listing a contact’s tasks or notes, and creating or updating contacts. You’ll also find endpoints for bulk or business-level access as needed by your workflow.
No heavy coding is required. Zapier App Connector provides a no-code interface to map fields and assemble automations. You can use prebuilt triggers and actions and only add custom logic if you need it.
Yes. You can fetch a contact’s tasks and notes with the appropriate endpoints. Combine them in a Zap to create comprehensive workflows that track activity and history.
In Zapier, open the connector, run a test on each action or trigger, and review the returned data. Use the sample data to verify field mappings and ensure the workflow behaves as expected.
Yes. GHL enforces rate limits on API requests. If you hit a limit, implement exponential backoff and retry logic in your Zap or your app logic.
Endpoint formats are available in the connector documentation and via the API endpoint reference shown in the builder. Start with the common read endpoints and expand as needed.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
