Authenticate calls to the Contacts API using OAuth 2.0 credentials issued by GHL. Obtain a client ID and secret, authorize access, and exchange tokens for API requests.
Zapier uses OAuth or API keys depending on the connector. Ensure the Contacts API scope is granted and tokens are stored securely.
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
Trigger: when a contact is updated in GHL, pull the latest tasks and status into your workflow
Actions: GET /contacts/:contactId and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to retrieve related data
GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, taskId, status
Trigger: a new or updated contact triggers note creation or update
Actions: POST /contacts/ and POST /contacts/:contactId/notes to attach notes
POST /contacts/
Required: contactId and businessId
Trigger: a new note or appointment is created for a contact
Actions: GET /contacts/:contactId/notes and GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
Key fields: contactId, noteId, appointmentId
Automate repetitive contact workflows without writing code
Create real time data sync between GHL and your apps
Prototype and deploy automations quickly with drag and drop builders
This section defines API Endpoint, Trigger, Action, and Authentication and explains how they apply to linking GHL Contacts API with Zapier
A specific URL path that performs a defined operation in the API such as retrieving a contact or updating a task
The process of proving identity to access the API, typically via OAuth 2.0 tokens or API keys
An event that starts a Zapier workflow such as a contact update or new note
An operation performed as part of a workflow such as creating a contact or attaching a note
Capture form data to create or update a contact in GHL and log the submission in your project tools via Zapier
Sync tasks back and forth between GHL and your task manager with reminders and status updates
Aggregate contact events into a digest and push to teams via Slack or email
Register your GHL app to obtain API credentials and configure OAuth in Zapier
Complete the OAuth flow and approve the Contacts API scope
Create Zapier zaps that perform CRUD operations on contacts notes tasks and tags using the endpoint calls
OAuth 2.0 or API keys are supported depending on the connector configuration. Ensure tokens are stored securely and refreshed as needed. Always test with a sandbox environment before going live.
Twist supports the endpoints listed in the endpoints section. You can retrieve contacts notes tasks and appointments. Use GET POST PUT and DELETE as needed. Consider using batch calls where supported to optimize performance.
No coding is required for basic automations in Zapier. Use the visual editor to map triggers to actions. For advanced workflows you can insert custom code steps if your plan allows. Start with simple triggers and gradually add steps.
If you hit rate limits, implement exponential backoff and stagger requests. Use the webhook like triggers to avoid polling too often. Review error responses in the Zapier task history to debug issues.
Yes you can fetch all contacts or filter by businessId or scope using the provided endpoints. For filtering you may need to apply query params or use batch retrieval where supported.
Test using Zapier’s built in test feature or a sandbox environment to validate data flow. Check each endpoint response and ensure mappings align with your Zapier steps.
API credentials are managed in the GHL developer section. Note the client ID and secret and grant the required scopes. Rotate credentials regularly and store them securely outside your code.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
