Authenticate by adding your GHL access token in the Zapier app settings and selecting the required scopes (e.g., contacts.readonly).
In Zapier, connect the GHL account by providing the access token and granting permissions; the app stores tokens securely for ongoing use.

Authentication uses OAuth 2.0 with access tokens; you will authorize your GHL account in the Zapier GHL app and grant the requested scopes such as contacts.readonly. After authorization, Zapier stores the token securely for subsequent requests. You can then access contact data in your Zaps without re-authenticating each time.
Yes. You can automate creating tasks, notes, and tags based on triggers in GHL. For example, when a new contact is created, you can automatically generate a welcome task and assign it to your team.
The most useful endpoints are GET /contacts/:contactId to read a contact, POST /contacts/ to create a contact, and POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to create tasks. These cover common CRM workflows like onboarding, follow-ups, and activity logging.
No coding is required. The integration is built in Zapier App Connector and uses drag-and-drop workflow design. For advanced needs, you can leverage webhooks for custom event handling, but most users will accomplish their goals with no code.
Test your Zap in Zapier’s test mode using sample data and monitor each step’s results. Enable error handling, retries, and clear mapping of fields to ensure reliable syncing across GHL and connected apps.
Yes. Use Zapier’s built-in test features for triggers and actions, simulate real data, and review task runs and logs. This helps verify mappings before going live.
Documentation is available in the GHL API reference and Zapier app docs. If you need more detail, consult the support resources or contact our help desk for targeted guidance.
