To access the Contacts API, generate and securely store your GHL API credentials and use them to authenticate requests from WaniKani via the Zapier connector.
In WaniKani integration settings, authorize the app to access your GHL Contacts data and generate an access token for API calls.

GET /contacts/:contactId and POST /contacts/
contactId, name, email, progress
Trigger: A new lesson or review completes in WaniKani.

Actions: Create or update notes and create calendar appointments in GHL.
POST /contacts/:contactId/notes and POST /contacts/:contactId/appointments
contactId, noteId, appointmentId, content
Automate data synchronization without writing a line of code.
Keep contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments in sync across WaniKani and GHL automatically.
Scale workflows with triggers and actions that run in the background.
Core elements include Contacts (records), API Endpoints, Triggers, Actions, Field Mappings, and Authentication methods used to connect WaniKani with the GHL Contacts API.
A person stored in GHL Contacts associated with a WaniKani user.
A specific URL path for performing an operation on the GHL API.
An event in WaniKani or GHL that starts a workflow.
An operation executed in GHL as a result of a trigger.
When a new WaniKani user is detected, create or update a GHL contact and attach learning progress to the profile.
Automatically create tasks in GHL for key study milestones observed in WaniKani.
Link WaniKani study sessions to GHL appointments for reminders and follow-ups.
Obtain your GHL API credentials and authorize WaniKani to access your Contacts data.
Map WaniKani fields to GHL contact fields and connect the endpoints you plan to use.
Run tests, verify data flow, then enable the integration in your environment.
No coding is required for most WaniKani to GHL workflows. You can use no-code automation tools to connect the apps and map fields. If you do have coding experience, you can customize requests and error handling.
You typically need permission to access Contacts data in GHL and to authorize the WaniKani app. This includes read or write scopes depending on your needs. Store credentials securely and rotate them regularly.
Yes. You can select which endpoints to call and how data maps between WaniKani and GHL. Start with core endpoints (contacts, tasks, notes) and expand as needed.
Use secure storage for API keys, rotate tokens, and use OAuth where available. Avoid exposing credentials in logs or front-end code.
Setup time varies by complexity, but basic connections can be established in under an hour. More complex mappings may take longer.
Check endpoint status, review error messages, re-authenticate if tokens expire, and enable test mode to troubleshoot.
Endpoint documentation is available in the GHL developer docs and within the app’s API reference. Start with the listed endpoints above and expand as needed.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
