Requests to the GHL Contacts API should be authenticated with your GHL access token. Use OAuth 2.0 where available, and keep tokens secret and rotated regularly.
Authorize the Zapier App Connector to access your GHL account using Zapier’s OAuth flow or API key as configured in your workspace.

Run tests, verify data mapping, and deploy your workflow.
The GHL Contacts API lets you read and manage contact records and related data like tasks and notes. It is designed for apps that need secure access to CRM data. Use the provided endpoints to retrieve, create, update, or delete contacts as needed. For automation, map fields between GHL and your app using Zapier actions.
Available endpoints include retrieving individual contacts, listing tasks, notes, appointments, and creating or updating records. You can also attach tags and manage business associations. Review the endpoint list to plan your integration.
GHL authentication typically uses a token-based approach via OAuth 2.0. In a Zapier workflow, you connect your GHL account in the App Connector, authorize access, and then use the triggers and actions to sync data securely.
Yes. You can orchestrate multi-step flows to sync contacts, their tasks, notes, and tags across GHL and Worksuite. Use triggers to start workflows and actions to update related records.
Rate limits exist but are designed to support typical automation workloads. If you hit limits, implement backoff and throttling in your Zapier workflows and batch requests when possible.
Test with sample data, verify mappings, and run end-to-end tests in a sandbox or staging environment. Validate that all fields are correctly populated before going live.
API documentation and endpoints are published by GHL. Start with the official GHL developer docs and the Contacts API reference for the most up-to-date guidance.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
