Authenticate using OAuth 2.0 with API tokens to securely access Contacts API data. Create a client in your GHL account, request the necessary scopes, and store credentials securely in Zapier.
Connect the Zapier App Connector to your GHL account by selecting OAuth 2.0 and granting permission to manage contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments. Use a dedicated sandbox if available.
GET /contacts/:contactId fetches a single contact; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks lists tasks; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId fetches a task; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes fetches notes; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id fetches a note; GET /contacts/ fetches all contacts; GET /contacts/business/:businessId fetches contacts for a business; POST /contacts/ creates a contact; PUT /contacts/:contactId updates a contact; DELETE /contacts/:contactId deletes; POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks creates a task; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId updates a task; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed marks a task as completed; DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId deletes a task; POST /contacts/:contactId/tags adds tags.
Trigger: When a new webinar registrant signs up or an existing contact is updated, Zapier upserts the contact in GHL using POST /contacts/.
Actions: Upsert core fields (name, email, phone), apply tags, set lifecycle stage, and schedule follow ups.
Method path: POST /contacts/
Key fields: email (required), name, phone, tags, and any custom fields you track.
Trigger: When a contact is updated in WebinarJam EverWebinar, fetch the latest data from GHL to keep systems aligned.
Actions: GET /contacts/:contactId; optionally pull related tasks and notes with nested endpoints.
Method path: GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, fields you want to retrieve such as name, email, status, and tags.
Trigger: when tasks or notes are created or updated for a contact, propagate changes to webinar automation.
Actions: Create tasks (POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks), list notes (GET /contacts/:contactId/notes), and update task status as needed.
Method path: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
Key fields: contactId, task title, due date, status, note content.
Automate data flow without coding: sync webinar registrants to your CRM automatically.
Maintain a single source of truth by centralizing contact data across tools.
Speed up campaigns with real-time triggers from webinars.
Core elements include Contacts, Tasks, Notes, Endpoints, Authentication, and the App Connector. Understanding how endpoints map to actions helps build reliable automations.
GHL API provides programmatic access to your GHL data, enabling reading and writing of contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments.
Webhook: a real-time HTTP callback that delivers data updates from one app to another.
Endpoint: a specific URL path used to perform a given action in the API.
Authentication: the process of securely proving identity to the API, typically via OAuth 2.0 or API keys.
Capture attendees from WebinarJam and EverWebinar and create or update Contacts in GHL with tags and follow up tasks.
Record webinar milestones as notes on the corresponding contact to maintain a complete activity history.
Use completed webinar events to kick off email sequences or task creation in GHL via the API.
Set up OAuth 2.0 credentials in GHL and grant Zapier App Connector access to Contacts data.
Choose which fields to sync (name, email, company) and select the endpoints required for your workflow.
Run test in Zapier, verify data flow, then deploy automation to live webinars.
No coding is required for basic integrations. Zapier App Connector provides a visual builder to map WebinarJam EverWebinar data to your GHL Contacts API and automate common workflows. You can set triggers, actions, and filters without writing custom code. For more complex scenarios, you can use Zapier features like multi-step zaps and conditional logic to tailor the flow.
Typically you need endpoints to create or fetch contacts and to update related tasks or notes. Start with GET /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts, and POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks. Enrich records with notes and tags to support post webinar follow-ups.
Integrations should use OAuth 2.0 or API keys with scoped access. Store credentials in Zapier’s secure vault and rotate tokens regularly. Use separate sandbox environments for testing before going live and enable audit trails.
Yes. You can pull tasks and notes via the Contacts API by calling GET endpoints. For creating or updating tasks or notes, use POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks and POST /contacts/:contactId/notes.
Yes. When a webinar signup occurs, you can upsert a contact in GHL to capture the new lead in your CRM. You can also automate tag assignment and trigger follow-up tasks or campaigns immediately after signup.
In Zapier, run a test with sample data and verify each step. Check API responses for success codes and set up alerts for failures. Validate end-to-end data flow before going live.
If a contact already exists, you can upsert (update) or skip to avoid duplicates. A common approach is to search by email first, then update missing fields. Implement idempotent operations and clean conflict handling.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
