Provide your GHL Contacts API credentials to authorize the connection through the Zapier App Connector. Use OAuth 2.0 where available, or an API key if required.
Zapier App Connector uses OAuth 2.0 to securely connect to your Contacts API. After approval you can create triggers and actions tied to your data.
GET /contacts/:contactId — Retrieve a single contact GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks — List tasks for a contact GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Get a specific task GET /contacts/:contactId/notes — List notes for a contact GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id — Get a specific note GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments — List appointments for a contact GET /contacts/ — List all contacts GET /contacts/business/:businessId — List contacts for a business contacts.write — Write permission for contacts POST /contacts/ — Create a new contact PUT /contacts/:contactId — Update a contact DELETE /contacts/:contactId — Delete a contact POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks — Create a task PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Update a task PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed — Mark a task completed DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Delete a task POST /contacts/:contactId/tags — Tag a contact
Trigger when a contact is updated in GHL to sync changes to your workflow.
Actions include retrieving the contact (GET /contacts/:contactId), listing tasks (GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks) and notes (GET /contacts/:contactId/notes), and creating notes.
Example path: GET /contacts/:contactId
contactId, name, email, phone, status, lastModified
Trigger when a new contact is created in GHL.
Actions: create new contact (POST /contacts/), add tasks (POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks), update contact details (PUT /contacts/:contactId).
POST /contacts/
name, email, businessId, tags
Trigger when a task is updated or completed.
Actions: PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId and PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed.
Example paths: PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId and PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed
taskId, status, dueDate, completed
Build powerful automations in minutes with a no-code connector.
Keep data in sync across contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments.
Manage everything from one intuitive interface with the Zapier App Connector.
This glossary defines core elements such as Contact, Task, Note, and Business, and explains typical data flows between the GHL Contacts API and the Zapier App Connector.
A person record in the Contacts API that stores essential identifiers and contact details.
A to-do item linked to a contact, including status and due date.
A text note attached to a contact used to record context and history.
A business entity linked to a contact for organization and segmentation.
Capture form submissions and automatically create or update a contact in GHL, then trigger follow up tasks.
When a task is added in GHL, push a corresponding task in your PM tool via Zapier.
Attach notes from emails, messages, or forms to a contact to keep context in one place.
Obtain your GHL API credentials, configure the needed scopes, and authorize the Zapier App Connector to access your Contacts data.
Set up triggers such as contact updated or new contact and map actions to create or update contacts, tasks, notes, and tags.
Run end-to-end tests, review logs in Zapier, and enable the integration for production use.
No coding required. The Zapier App Connector provides visual triggers and actions that you can configure in minutes. You can connect using OAuth 2.0 or an API key if provided by the API. For more complex flows, you can add filters and paths, but most standard use cases are code-free.
Essential endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch a contact, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes to retrieve related items, and POST /contacts/ to create a new contact. You can extend with PUT /contacts/:contactId to update and POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to add tasks.
Security relies on OAuth 2.0 and token-based access over HTTPS. Limit scopes to what you need (for example, scope: contacts.readonly) and rotate tokens regularly to minimize risk.
Yes. You can fetch a contact’s tasks and notes using GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, then use triggers to automate downstream actions across apps.
Yes. Create and update contacts with POST /contacts/ and PUT /contacts/:contactId. Ensure required fields are provided and map fields correctly in your Zapier workflow.
Zapier typically uses polling to check for updates. Real-time syncing via webhooks is possible if the API supports webhooks and you configure them accordingly.
The API endpoint list is in the ENDPOINTLIST section of this guide. It covers GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE actions for contacts, tasks, notes, keys and tags.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
