Authenticate with your GHL credentials. Use OAuth 2.0 or a secure API key as supported by the Contacts API. In Zapier, store tokens securely and refresh as needed.
Connect Zapier App Connector to your GHL account using OAuth 2.0. This keeps credentials safe and enables automated access to Contacts data.

Automate complex contact workflows without writing code.
Keep data in sync across platforms in real time.
Launch scalable campaigns with event-driven automations.
Below are essential terms and processes to help you understand the integration between the GHL API and the Zapier App Connector.
A person stored in GHL with profile data and activity history.
A to-do item linked to a contact, used to track activities.
A free-form comment attached to a contact for context.
A specific URL in the GHL API that performs a defined action.
When a new contact is created in GHL, automatically create a welcome task and add a note in your CRM via Zapier.
Automatically mirror completed tasks in your PM tool and update the contact with progress.
Tag new contacts and route them to targeted campaigns in one workflow.
Sign in to GHL from Zapier and grant the App Connector the required scopes.
Choose the Contacts API endpoints you want to sync and map fields.
Run a test run, review results, and turn on automation.
No heavy coding is required. You can start with Zapier’s built-in actions and the Contacts API endpoints to build simple automations. For more advanced flows, you can extend with custom fields and multi-step zaps.
Yes. A basic workflow can use endpoints like GET /contacts and GET /contacts/:contactId, then optionally fetch related tasks or notes with GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes. Map fields as needed and add simple filters.
Security is handled via OAuth 2.0 and scoped API access. Zapier stores tokens securely and refreshes them as required. Always use the minimum required scopes for your automation.
You can customize data mappings in Zapier by choosing which GHL fields map to your target apps. Use lookup and formatter steps to adapt data types and formats across systems.
Authentication tokens expire periodically. Use refresh flows or re-auth in Zapier when prompted. This keeps your integrations resilient without exposing credentials.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
