This section explains endpoints, triggers, actions, authentication, and data fields used when connecting Zapier to the Contacts API.
A user-defined callback URL that Zapier posts to when a specified event occurs in GHL.
A URL path that exposes a specific API function, such as retrieving a contact or updating a task.
The process of proving identity and obtaining access tokens or keys to call the API securely.
The data payload sent with a request or received in a response, typically in JSON format.
Create a Zap that triggers on new contact creation and routes to a welcome email and task list.
When a task is marked complete, update the contact record in GHL and notify the team.
Aggregate notes from multiple endpoints into a single activity timeline for each contact.
Authorize with GHL credentials to enable secure API calls from Zapier.
Choose the Contacts API endpoints you want to sync and map fields in Zapier.
Run tests, enable monitoring, and deploy to your workflow.
Zapier’s Webhooks integration with the Contacts API lets you automate actions between Zapier and GHL without writing code. You can trigger workflows from GHL events and push updates to Zapier or from Zapier to GHL. It supports common HTTP methods and allows field mapping to keep data consistent.
The available endpoints include retrieving and updating contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments. You can also create new contacts, manage tasks and tags, and query business data as needed for your automations.
Authentication uses OAuth 2.0 tokens or API keys; once configured, Zapier stores credentials securely and uses them to sign requests.
Yes. You can trigger create, update, and delete actions for contacts, tasks, and notes by selecting appropriate endpoints and actions in a Zap.
Rate limits vary by endpoint; plan accordingly and implement backoff strategies in Zapier if limits are reached.
Zapier provides test modes and sample data; use Test This Step to verify mappings and end-to-end flow before enabling live runs.
If issues occur, check authentication status, endpoint permissions, and webhook delivery logs; contact support with your request IDs for faster resolution.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
