To use the GHL Contacts API, obtain OAuth2 credentials from your GHL developer console (client ID, client secret) and grant the scopes including contacts.readonly. Configure the connection in APPNAME to authorize requests.
APPNAME supports OAuth2 for this integration. In the App settings, register the GHL API as a connected account and authorize access using the redirect URI provided by APPNAME. Tokens are stored securely and refreshed automatically.
GET /contacts/:contactId – Retrieve a single contact GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks – List tasks for a contact GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId – Retrieve a specific task GET /contacts/:contactId/notes – List notes for a contact GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id – Retrieve a single note GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments – List appointments GET /contacts/ – List all contacts GET /contacts/business/:businessId – List contacts by business contacts.write – Permission to write to contacts POST /contacts/ – Create a contact PUT /contacts/:contactId – Update a contact DELETE /contacts/:contactId – Delete a contact POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks – Create a task for a contact PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId – Update a task PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed – Mark task completed DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId – Delete a task POST /contacts/:contactId/tags – Add tags to a contact

Method: POST /contacts/:contactId/tags, POST /contacts/:contactId/notes
Key fields: contactId, tag names, note content
No-code setup: connect in minutes without writing code.
Visual workflows connect GHL with APPNAME to automate tasks between Zoho WorkDrive and your contacts data.
Real-time sync, error handling, and easy maintenance with an intuitive UI.
Definitions for API, endpoints, authentication, and data flows used when connecting GHL Contacts API with Zapier App Connector for Zoho WorkDrive.
API (Application Programming Interface) is a set of rules that allows software to communicate and exchange data securely.
OAuth 2.0 is an authorization framework used to grant limited access tokens for API calls without sharing user credentials.
An endpoint is a specific URL in an API that performs a defined operation, such as retrieving a contact or creating a task.
Scope defines the permissions granted to an app like contacts.readonly or contacts.write.
Automatically tag contacts in GHL when new/updated data arrives from Zoho WorkDrive via APPNAME.
Create follow-up tasks in GHL when related actions occur in the source app.
Attach notes to contacts in GHL to capture a change history from Zoho WorkDrive.
In APPNAME, choose GHL Contacts API as the connected account and authorize access.
Select endpoints (e.g., GET /contacts/:contactId) and map fields to your Zoho WorkDrive data.
Run a quick test to verify data flow and then activate the integration.
No coding is required. Use the APPNAME builder to connect GHL Contacts API and configure triggers, actions, and data mapping. The platform handles authentication behind the scenes. You can quickly set up workflows that create, update, or tag contacts without writing code.
Common endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/, POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId, and POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks. These endpoints cover retrieval, creation, updates, and task management for contacts. Tailor endpoint usage to your Zoho WorkDrive data flows and mapping needs.
Authentication is managed via OAuth 2.0. You authorize APPNAME to access the GHL Contacts API, after which tokens are refreshed automatically. You won’t need to manage credentials in your workflows directly. IfToken expires, the connector will re-authenticate to maintain seamless access.
Yes. You can request scopes such as contacts.readonly or contacts.write depending on the actions you need. The APPNAME setup will display and enforce these scopes during authorization.
Rate limits depend on your API plan. Implement retries with exponential backoff in your workflows to handle transient limits gracefully. The connector provides built-in retry handling for common errors.
Check the connection status in APPNAME, review logs, and test endpoints using sample data. Verify that OAuth tokens are valid and that required scopes are granted.
Yes. No-code automation via APPNAME lets you create powerful integrations between GHL Contacts API and Zoho WorkDrive without writing code. You can automate data flow, tagging, and task creation through visual builders.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
