Authenticate securely using OAuth 2.0 (where supported) with the required scope: contacts.readonly. Store tokens safely in Zapier and refresh as needed.
In Zapier, create a secure connection to your GHL credentials. The connector uses token-based authentication to authorize requests to the Contacts API.
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: A new or updated contact exists in GHL; Action: Zapier creates or updates the contact in your app and can create related tasks.
Actions: read contact data, create or update tasks, attach notes, and apply tags as needed.
GET /contacts/:contactId
contactId, name, email, phone, status
Trigger: Tasks or notes change in GHL; Action: Reflect changes in the Zapier-connected app.
Actions: create, update, or delete tasks and notes linked to the same contact.
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
taskId, title, dueDate, status
Trigger: Manual or scheduled batch import/export; Action: Sync large sets of contact data between GHL and your app.
Actions: bulk create, update, or delete of contacts via POST /contacts/ and PUT /contacts/:contactId.
POST /contacts/
contactId, email, firstName, lastName, phone
Automate day-to-day data flows without writing code, using triggers and actions in a visual workflow.
Benefit from pre-built connectors and field mappings to speed up setup.
Easily map data between GHL and apps like Wootric by InMoment for unified insights.
Key concepts include API endpoints, triggers, actions, authentication methods, and data fields used to connect GHL’s Contacts API with Zapier App Connector.
An API (Application Programming Interface) is a set of rules that lets one application talk to another.
A webhook is a real-time notification system that posts data to a configured URL when events occur.
An endpoint is a specific URL in an API that performs an action or returns data.
Authentication verifies identity and permissions before allowing access to API resources.
Capture new Wootric responses and push insights into your CRM with tasks, notes, and tags, triggering follow-up actions.
Automatically adjust contact segments based on feedback scores and engagement.
Deliver concise summaries to Slack or email with important metrics and actions.
Register your app in GHL and obtain API keys or OAuth credentials to begin.
Set the appropriate scopes (e.g., contacts.readonly or write) and test endpoints in Zapier.
Map fields, set triggers and actions, and run tests to verify data flow.
You can connect and synchronize contacts, notes, tasks, and appointments between GHL and your app via Zapier App Connector. Use triggers for changes and actions to push updates back to GHL or your CRM. No-code workflows let you automate onboarding, follow-ups, and reports. In Moment: Wootric integrations can be surfaced as feedback events to drive tasks and notes automatically. This setup helps teams scale outreach and support without writing code, reducing manual data entry and accelerating insight-to-action cycles.
Permissions are controlled by the OAuth scopes you grant (e.g., contacts.readonly). Ensure the token has the correct scope for the actions you intend (read vs write). If you need to write data, switch to a write-capable scope and confirm your app’s access. Always follow least-privilege principles to minimize risk.
Start by creating the app connection in Zapier, choose the GHL Contacts API, and authorize. Use OAuth 2.0 or API keys as supported, then test each endpoint with sample data. Store tokens securely and refresh as needed. If authentication fails, re-check client IDs, secrets, and redirect URLs.
End points include retrieving and updating contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments. You can also create new contacts and manage tags. Review endpoint list, then enable only the needed actions to minimize risk. Use a test environment to validate data formats before going live.
Yes. With POST /contacts/ and PUT /contacts/:contactId, you can create or update contacts from Zapier. Ensure proper field mapping and error handling. For related data like tasks and notes, use the corresponding endpoints to maintain data integrity.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan and API tier. If you hit limits, implement batching, backoff strategies, and caching where possible. Consider using webhooks to reduce polling and keep data in near real time.
If a request fails, check authentication, endpoint, and payload. Use Zapier’s test feature to validate responses, examine API error messages, and adjust scope or permissions as needed. Review request schemas and ensure required fields are present.
