Use OAuth 2.0 or API key to securely authorize the GHL Contacts API access for Zapier App Connector, granting read/write permissions as needed.
In Zapier, create a connection using Zapier App Connector credentials and store tokens securely; follow prompts to authorize access to GHL data.
Key endpoints used in this Timely Time Tracking integration include: 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.
Trigger when a contact is created or updated in GHL to push updates into Zapier App Connector.
Actions: Create or update the corresponding contact in APPNAME; map fields like name, email, phone, and tag associations.
GET /contacts/:contactId
contactId, name, email, phone, tags
Trigger: new or updated task for a contact in GHL.
Actions: create or update task in APPNAME; map fields like title, due date, status, and related contactId.
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
contactId, taskId, status, title, dueDate
Trigger: new or updated note for a contact.
Actions: create or update notes in APPNAME; map note content, author, and date to the contact timeline.
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
contactId, noteId, content, author, date
No-code data sync between GHL and APPNAME reduces manual data entry and errors.
Faster time-to-value with automated time-tracking across contacts and activities.
Consistent data across platforms improves reporting and decision making.
This guide covers API endpoints, authentication, data mapping, and common data flows between GHL Contacts API and APPNAME.
A programmable interface that lets APPNAME read from or write to the GHL Contacts API.
A standard authorization framework used to securely obtain access tokens.
A specific URL in the API that performs an action or returns data.
A URL where real-time updates are delivered from GHL to APPNAME or vice versa.
Automatically create or update time tracking entries in APPNAME when a contact is updated in GHL.
Add a real-time activity feed in APPNAME showing latest tasks, notes, and appointments from GHL.
Trigger alerts in APPNAME when critical changes occur in contact status in GHL.
Register APPNAME in your GHL account and configure OAuth 2.0 scopes.
Map GHL contact fields to APPNAME fields like name, email, and time-tracking fields.
Run test tasks to ensure data sync works; deploy to production after verification.
The GHL Contacts API exposes endpoints to read and manage contact data, tasks, notes, and appointments. When connected through Zapier App Connector, you can automate data flow between GHL and APPNAME without writing code. This empowers you to keep time-tracking and CRM data aligned across platforms.
No extensive coding is required. The Zapier App Connector acts as the bridge, handling authentication, data mapping, and trigger/action orchestration. You will configure connections, map fields, and set up simple workflows to automate tasks. If needed, you can add custom logic with conditional steps in Zapier.
Time-tracking data is typically accessed via endpoints like GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes. These allow you to pull associated tasks and notes for a contact into APPNAME. You can also pull contact-level data with GET /contacts/:contactId for a complete view.
Security is handled via OAuth 2.0 tokens or API keys with scoped permissions. Tokens are refreshed automatically in Zapier, and access is restricted to the minimum required scopes. All data transfers use secure transport (HTTPS) to protect sensitive information.
Yes. You can map standard fields (name, email, phone) and custom fields from GHL to corresponding fields in APPNAME. Field mapping is configured in the Zapier connection setup, allowing seamless data synchronization across apps.
Tokens are refreshed automatically by the connector when they near expiration. If a refresh fails, you’ll be prompted to re-authenticate. This ensures ongoing access without manual interventions in most cases.
Error monitoring is available in the Zapier task history and the APPNAME dashboard. You can view error messages, re-run failed steps, and adjust mappings or endpoints to resolve issues quickly.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
