Authorize the GHL Contacts API within Zapier by using OAuth2 and granting access to read and manage contact data.
In Zapier App Connector you configure a connection to GHL through OAuth, then you can select which Contacts API resources to sync.
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; permissions: contacts.write; 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 created or updated in GHL to push data to Zapier App Connector
Actions include creating or updating the contact in APPNAME and syncing notes and tasks
Method path: GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: id, email, firstName, lastName
Trigger: when a task or note is created or updated
Actions: map task data to APPNAME tasks and attach notes where needed
Method path: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: taskId, title, status, dueDate
Trigger: new or updated notes on a contact
Actions: push note content to APPNAME and update metadata fields
Method path: POST /contacts/:contactId/notes
Key fields: noteId, noteContent, createdAt
Fast setup with no coding required
Automatic data syncing reduces manual entry
Scalable automations across teams
This section explains essential data elements and process flows for the integration
An application programming interface that lets apps talk to each other
An authorization framework that grants limited access tokens between apps
A mechanism for real time notifications from one app to another
A specific URL that performs an API action
Automatically create a new contact in APPNAME when a user signs up via the form in GHL
Sync customer tickets from GHL to APPNAME to track issues and responses
Enrich contact data in APPNAME with notes and tags pulled from GHL
Configure OAuth in Zapier to authorize GHL for the Contacts API
Create mappings from GHL endpoints to APPNAME fields
Run test with sample data and monitor results
Yes the GHL Contacts API uses OAuth2 with scoped access. You configure the integration in Zapier and grant read and write permissions as needed. Your app then uses the access token to call the endpoints listed in the Endpoint List.
No extensive coding is required for most tasks when using Zapier App Connector. For advanced scenarios you can add custom Webhooks or code steps. Most common integrations can be built with point and click automation and prebuilt actions.
The available endpoints include fetching contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments; creating and updating contacts; and managing tags and business associations. Refer to the Endpoint List section for a complete roster and how each endpoint maps to App fields.
Authentication is handled via OAuth2 between GHL and Zapier App Connector. You will authorize GHL in the connector, grant required scopes, and store the access token securely. Refresh tokens are used to maintain access without repeated sign ins.
Yes you can map fields between GHL and APPNAME. In Zapier you define field mappings for contacts, tasks, and notes, ensuring data flows to the correct App fields. Mappings can be adjusted as your data model evolves.
Webhooks provide real time notifications when data changes in GHL. In Zapier you can trigger automations based on those events or poll endpoints as needed. Webhooks help reduce polling and improve responsiveness.
Data security is prioritized with OAuth tokens, scoped access, and encrypted transmission. Zapier stores connection credentials securely and you control which data is synced. Always follow best practices for permissions and minimize data exposure.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
