Authenticate to the GHL Contacts API using your API token or OAuth credentials. The Zapier App Connector will pass the access token with each request and respect the scope: contacts.readonly.
In Zapier, connect to the GHL-backed app by configuring OAuth2 or API key credentials, then authorize and test before building workflows.

Automate repetitive workflows with no custom coding.
Keep data synchronized across apps with triggers and actions.
Scale processes as you grow without writing integrations from scratch.
Elements covered: endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, fields, and data mapping.
A specific URL path to perform an action on the GHL platform.
The method used to prove identity and authorize access to the API.
Token included in the Authorization header for API requests.
HTTP method like GET, POST, PUT, or DELETE used to call an endpoint.
When a new contact is added in GHL, automatically create a starter task in the connected app.
Sync notes from contact updates to the target app’s notes field.
Update CRM contact fields when tasks are updated in GHL.
Obtain OAuth2 tokens or API keys and configure scopes (contacts.readonly).
Use GET /contacts/:contactId and other endpoints to verify access.
Create workflows in Zapier that trigger on contact updates and perform actions via endpoints.
You can get started with minimal or no code using Zapier. The app provides triggers and actions for common workflows. If you need advanced logic, consider custom scripting or multiple steps through Zapier paths.
Common endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, and PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId.
Authentication is typically handled via OAuth 2.0 or API keys. In Zapier App Connector, you’ll configure the client credentials and scopes, then use the access token in requests.
Yes. You can create and update contacts, tasks, notes, and tags from Zapier, enabling two-way automation.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan. In general, plan for bursts and implement retries with exponential backoff.
Use the test feature in Zapier to validate triggers and actions. You can also use a staging environment.
API documentation is available in the GHL developer portal and includes endpoint references, authentication, and best practices.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
