Authenticate your GHL account to access the Contacts API using OAuth 2.0 with the scope set to contacts.readonly. Store tokens securely and refresh as needed.
Connect the Zapier App Connector to GHL using the OAuth 2.0 flow or API keys as supported, then authorize the Contacts API scope for seamless data access in Zoho Checkout workflows.

Trigger: Notes or appointments updated for a contact.
Action: Retrieve notes and appointments to sync with Zoho Checkout activity history.
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
contactId, noteId (optional for specific note), mapNotes=true

Eliminate custom coding by connecting GHL Contacts API with the Zapier App Connector to automate Zoho Checkout workflows.
Speed up data synchronization between Contact records, notes, tasks, and Zoho Checkout without manual data entry.
Centralize automation in a visual editor for easy maintenance and updates.
This glossary covers common terms used when integrating the GHL Contacts API with the Zapier App Connector for Zoho Checkout.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to access or manipulate a resource in an API.
A standard authorization framework that lets apps obtain limited access to user accounts without sharing credentials.
The set of permissions requested by an API client (e.g., readOnly or write access).
The Zapier integration layer that connects apps and automates workflows between them.
Set up a Zap to create or update a Zoho Checkout customer whenever a new contact is added in GHL, ensuring seamless onboarding without manual entry.
Automatically push contact notes to Zoho when notes are created or updated in GHL to keep Zoho Checkout history current.
Create cross-platform tasks between GHL and Zoho Checkout so teams stay aligned on follow-ups and due dates.
In Zapier, add the Zapier App Connector integration and authorize access to the GHL Contacts API with the required scope.
Choose the desired endpoints (eg GET /contacts/:contactId) and map fields to Zoho Checkout fields.
Run test calls, review results, fix mapping issues, and deploy to live automation.
No heavy coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides a visual workflow editor to connect GHL Contacts API endpoints to Zoho Checkout actions. You can map fields and set up simple triggers without writing code. For more advanced use cases, you can still customize field mappings and conditions within Zapier’s interface. The goal is to empower non-developers to automate data flow between systems.
The Contacts API exposes multiple endpoints such as retrieving a contact, its tasks, notes, and appointments, as well as listing all contacts and filtering by business. It also supports creating and updating contacts and tasks with appropriate permissions. A complete endpoint list is provided in the content block of this page for quick reference.
You will typically need at least read-only access to fetch data. If you plan to create or modify records (like creating a contact or a task), write permissions are required. Ensure your OAuth scopes align with the operations you intend to perform and keep credentials secure.
In Zapier, use the Test Trigger and Test Action features to simulate API calls. Review the response data and map fields accordingly. If a call fails, check authentication tokens, scopes, and endpoint paths, then re-run tests until results are successful.
Yes. Depending on your permissions, you can create or update contacts and related resources such as tasks and notes through the appropriate endpoints. Ensure the endpoint supports the operation and that your app connection has the necessary scopes.
Zapier and API providers implement rate limits. If you hit a limit, the connector will retry according to Zapier’s retry policy. Implement backoff strategies and minimize rapid consecutive calls by batching data where possible.
The official endpoint list and documentation are typically provided in the API docs for the GHL Contacts API. This page consolidates the key endpoints and usage patterns to help you configure Zapier app connections effectively.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
