Authenticate requests using OAuth 2.0 Bearer tokens with your GHL account. Use the documented scopes to control access to contacts data.
Zakeke authenticates API calls using your app’s credentials and a valid access token obtained via OAuth 2.0 flow. Ensure tokens are stored securely.
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; 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 new contact is created in GHL via the Contacts API.
Action creates a new contact in Zakeke using POST /contacts/ with fields like name, email, and phone.
POST /contacts/
name, email, phone
Trigger when a contact is updated in GHL.
Action updates the corresponding contact in Zakeke via PUT /contacts/:contactId.
PUT /contacts/:contactId
contactId, updated fields
Trigger when a new task or note is created for a contact in GHL.
Actions create corresponding tasks/notes in Zakeke using POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks or POST /contacts/:contactId/notes.
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; POST /contacts/:contactId/notes
contactId, task details, note text
Rapid setup without custom development — configure triggers and actions in a visual workflow.
Improve data accuracy by syncing essential fields (name, email, phone) between platforms.
Automate routine tasks like task creation and note logging to save time.
Understand common terms used in GHL to app integrations, including endpoints, triggers, actions, and key fields.
A specific URL path in an API that performs a defined action, such as GET /contacts/:contactId.
A security token used to authorize API requests, typically issued via OAuth 2.0.
An event in your system that starts an automated workflow (e.g., New Contact created).
An operation performed in response to a Trigger (e.g., Create a new contact in Zakeke).
Create a guided onboarding flow that adds a new contact to Zakeke with default tags and notes.
When a task is updated in GHL, instantly reflect status changes in Zakeke and notify the user.
Use notes to capture preferences and trigger targeted campaigns in Zakeke.
Obtain an OAuth token and grant necessary scopes for contacts access.
Add the required endpoint URLs (examples above) to your Zakeke workflow.
Run test requests to verify data flow and monitor for errors.
The Contacts API uses OAuth 2.0 Bearer tokens for authentication. Ensure your app requests the correct scope for read access to contact data. Store tokens securely and rotate them regularly to maintain access. If a token expires, refresh it using your initial OAuth flow.
Available endpoints include getting a contact by ID, retrieving tasks, notes, and appointments, and managing contacts with create, update, and delete operations. See the list of endpoints in the Endpoints section for details. You can also fetch business-based contact data with the businessId path.
Yes. Use the PUT /contacts/:contactId endpoint to update existing contacts from Zakeke into GHL. Ensure you provide the contactId and the fields to update. Proper mapping of fields ensures data consistency across systems.
Handle errors with standard HTTP status codes. Implement retries with exponential backoff for transient errors. Log failures to diagnose issues and alert your team when limits are reached.
Rate limits vary by plan. Plan for bursts in traffic and implement client-side throttling. Use the Retry-After header to back off after receiving a 429 response.
Use the test sandbox or a dedicated test environment. Validate credentials, implement mock data, and ensure end-to-end flows work before pushing to production. This minimizes risk and helps verify the integration behaves as expected with real-world scenarios.
API documentation is available in the developer portal for GHL and in Zapier/Apps connections pages. If you need more help, contact support and reference your integration ID.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
