Use OAuth 2.0 tokens with the Contacts API. Ensure the access token is kept secure and that the scope matches your needs (readonly access for Timely data).
Zapier App Connector uses OAuth or API key-based authentication depending on your setup. Authorize the connection and test access to the Contacts API endpoints.

Test data flows, validate field mappings, and enable automation in Timely.
The Contacts API provides read-only access to contact records, tasks, notes, appointments, and tags within Timely. Endpoints are designed for retrieving information and enabling automation workflows. If you need to modify data, ensure your app has the write scope (e.g., POST, PUT, DELETE operations) enabled and approved.
Core endpoints include retrieving a contact, listing a contact’s tasks, notes, and appointments, as well as creating and updating tasks and tags. Use these to drive events in Zapier automations and Timely timelines.
Authentication is typically via OAuth 2.0. You will authorize the Zapier App Connector to access your GHL Contacts API account and obtain an access token. Tokens should be securely stored and refreshed as needed.
If your API access is limited to read-only, you cannot create or modify contacts. To perform writes you need the appropriate write permissions and endpoints enabled by your GHL admin.
No extensive coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides ready-made triggers and actions for common tasks, letting you assemble automations with a visual builder.
Use Timely with GHL to automate lead routing, task creation, note capture, and appointment syncing across your team to accelerate sales and support workflows.
Consult the GHL API documentation for endpoint details, data schemas, and field mappings. You can also explore the Zapier App Connector’s listed triggers and actions for this service.
