The Contacts API in this integration uses a read-only scope. Authenticate requests through your Zapier connection to securely access contact data, tasks, notes, and related records.
In Zapier, authorize the app to access your GHL account for Contacts data. Tokens are encrypted and refreshed automatically to keep connections secure.
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: When a contact is requested by ID
Actions: Read contact data, pull related tasks, and sync to Zapier
GET /contacts/:contactId
contactId; fields to include; lastUpdated
Trigger: Retrieve tasks for a contact
Actions: List tasks; filter by status; sync to Zapier
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
contactId; taskId; status
Trigger: Access a single task by ID
Actions: Retrieve task details; update status; push to Zapier
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId
contactId; taskId; dueDate
No‑code automation lets you connect apps without writing code.
Build fast, repeatable workflows with point-and-click configuration.
Sync contacts, tasks, and notes across systems at scale.
Understand common terms and how data flows between GHL, Zapier, and your apps.
A person entry in the Contacts API with profile information.
A to-do linked to a contact used to track actions.
A note attached to a contact for context and history.
A specific API route used to access or modify data.
Create a default task when a new contact is added to keep follow-ups consistent.
Push contact notes to your team wiki or knowledge base on update.
Map form fields to contact fields and update via API.
Select your GHL account and authorize access to Contacts data.
Choose endpoints (e.g., Get contact, List tasks) and map fields to Zapier fields.
Run tests, verify data flow, and enable automation on success.
You can set up this integration with no coding skills. Use Zapier’s visual editor to connect endpoints and map fields. Start with read-only access to validate data flows, then expand to more endpoints as needed. This approach keeps experimenting risk-free.
The Contacts API exposes endpoints for contacts, tasks, notes, appointments, and more. In practice you’ll typically use GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, and POST /contacts/ for creates, among others.
Authenticate by authorizing the Zapier app to access your GHL account. The process uses secure OAuth tokens and follows best practices for credential handling and rotation.
Yes. Zapier can poll or respond to triggers to keep data in sync. Real-time updates depend on GHL capabilities and how you configure your Zap.
You can read contact profiles, tasks, notes, and appointments. Write capabilities depend on the granted scope; this setup is primarily read-only by default but can be extended.
Endpoints may have rate limits. Plan for retries and implement exponential backoff in your workflow to maintain reliability.
If a call fails, Zapier retries automatically. You can adjust retry behavior and receive alerts when failures persist.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
