Use your API key and the supplied OAuth scopes to securely authorize requests to Contacts API. With the provided readonly scope, you can view data and test connections safely.
In Web Parser by Zapier, connect your Zapier account to the GHL Contacts API using your credentials. Keep credentials secure and grant only the necessary scopes for the task.
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 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: fetchDetails for a specific contact ID to pull full contact data on demand.
Actions: call GET /contacts/:contactId and map fields (name, email, phone) to your Zap steps.
GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId; optional include: name, email, phone, tags
Trigger: update when tasks for a contact change, or on a schedule.
Actions: fetch tasks via GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks and map taskId, status, and due date.
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: contactId, taskId, status
Trigger: finalize task in your workflow and sync status.
Actions: update task with PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed and push confirmation back to Zapier.
PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed
Key fields: contactId, taskId
Automate routine data pulls to keep your CRM in sync with your favorite apps—no coding required.
Reduce manual data entry errors by using consistent field mappings and triggers.
Scale workflows with repeatable, auditable processes that run on demand or on a schedule.
Understand the essential elements and processes when connecting GHL Contacts API with Web Parser by Zapier, including authentication, endpoints, and data mapping.
Application Programming Interface: a set of rules that enable apps to talk to each other and exchange data.
A specific URL path in an API that performs an action or returns data.
OAuth is a standard for secure, delegated authorization between apps.
A real-time push mechanism where one app sends data to another via HTTP POST when events occur.
Parse submissions with Web Parser by Zapier and push to Contacts API to create or update contacts automatically.
When a task changes in Contacts API, trigger updates in your project board via Zapier.
Fetch and group contacts by tags or attributes, then push segmented lists to email or ads platforms.
Obtain API credentials, configure scopes, and test connectivity within Web Parser by Zapier.
Choose endpoints, map fields, and set up sample data in Zapier.
Run end-to-end tests, verify data integrity, then turn on the automation.
API endpoints are the doors to specific data and actions in Contacts API. Each endpoint requires mapped fields to translate the data into Zapier. Data fields define the exact pieces of information you pull or push, like contactId, name, or email. By combining endpoints with precise field mappings, you create reliable, repeatable workflows without writing code. This ensures consistent data flow across your apps.
Yes. While some advanced automations can benefit from scripting, the No-code setup in Web Parser by Zapier and the GHL Contacts API allows you to build powerful automations using triggers, actions, and field mappings. You can configure all steps within the UI and test as you go.
For basic sync, you typically need: the endpoint to retrieve or create contacts (POST /contacts/ or GET /contacts/:contactId), and any endpoints to fetch related data (tasks, notes). Mapping essential fields (name, email, status) ensures data is usable in downstream apps. Start with a single contact fetch and expand from there.
Connections should use HTTPS with OAuth or API keys for authentication. Web Parser by Zapier stores credentials securely, and you can restrict scopes to the minimum required. Regularly rotate credentials and monitor access to protect sensitive contact data.
Yes. Use a sandbox or test environment if available, or create test contacts to validate the flow. Zapier dashboards provide test data steps, allowing you to simulate real-world usage before going live.
Handle errors with built-in retries and clear error messages. Configure conditional logic in Zapier to retry transient failures and to stop on persistent errors. Logging and alerts help you monitor for anomalies and fix issues quickly.
API rate limits depend on your plan. Check the endpoint documentation for quotas and backoff guidance. If you anticipate higher usage, you can spread calls over time or implement caching to reduce repeated requests.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
