Connect securely with your GHL API key and OAuth flow, then choose the Contacts API in Zapier to authorize access.
Authorize the Chrome extension to access your GHL account via OAuth 2.0, enabling triggers and actions on your contact data.
Below is a representative list of Contacts API endpoints supported in this integration, including retrieval, updates, and task/note management.
Trigger: A contact is created or updated in Contacts API, starting the Zap.
Actions: Retrieve full contact details, then update a dashboard, create tasks, or add notes.
GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, name, email, phone
Trigger: A new task is created for a contact or a task is updated.
Actions: Create, update, or complete tasks; link them to the related contact.
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: taskId, description, dueDate, status
Trigger: A note is added to a contact or a tag is updated.
Actions: Create notes, attach tags, search by tags.
POST /contacts/:contactId/notes
Key fields: noteId, content, createdAt

Understand endpoints, triggers, actions, fields, and authentication to design reliable automations between GHL and Zapier.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to access a resource in the API.
An event that starts a Zap workflow (e.g., new contact created).
An operation performed in response to a Trigger (e.g., create a note).
The method used to verify identity and authorize access (API key or OAuth).
Set up a Zap to automatically generate onboarding tasks when a new contact is saved in Contacts API.
Trigger alerts to Slack or email when notes are added or updated on a contact.
Push core contact fields to a CRM when they change in GHL via Zapier.
In Zapier, choose the Contacts API and authorize access using your GHL credentials.
Select a trigger such as New or Updated Contact to start your Zap.
Map fields like name and email, then run a test to confirm data flows correctly.
The Zapier Chrome extension is the bridge that lets you connect your GHL Contacts data to thousands of apps. It enables triggers and actions between Contacts API and your favorite tools. Use it to kick off workflows without manual data entry.
The Contacts API exposes endpoints to read and manage contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments. Through Zapier, you can pull contact details, update notes, create tasks, and sync data with other apps. This enables rich automations across your stack.
Authentication uses a secure OAuth flow or an API key, depending on your setup. Zapier will prompt you to authorize access to your GHL account and data you’ve granted permission for. Always follow least-privilege access best practices.
The most useful endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts/, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, and POST /contacts/:contactId/notes. They let you read, create, and associate data with contacts.
Yes. You can create tasks and notes from Zapier by using the appropriate endpoints in Actions. Map fields and test to ensure new items appear in GHL as expected.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan. If you hit a limit, Zapier will retry or surface an error. Implement backoff and clear error messages to maintain smooth automations.
Check the documentation for endpoint details, field mappings, and authentication flow. You can also explore the onboarding guides and example Zaps in our templates.
