Set up secure access to Contacts API using OAuth or API keys within the Zapier App Connector to read contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments.
During setup, grant permissions for reading and (where supported) writing to contacts, tasks, notes, and tags to enable end-to-end automation.
Endpoints used in this integration include: 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: New contact created in your source system or a form submission
Actions: Create or update the contact in GHL, attach related tasks or notes as needed
POST /contacts/ (create) and PUT /contacts/:contactId (update)
Key fields: email, name, phone, externalId
Trigger: Contact updated or new task/note added in GHL
Actions: Retrieve and display tasks/notes in Zapier, or create corresponding tasks in GHL
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: contactId, taskId, noteId
Trigger: Tags added to a contact
Actions: Add tags to GHL using POST /contacts/:contactId/tags; update notes as needed
POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
Key fields: contactId, tags
No-code automation lets you connect systems in minutes, without writing code.
Centralized workflows ensure data consistency across apps.
Scalable triggers and actions align with your growth.
Key elements include API endpoints, authentication, data mapping, triggers, and actions that power your no-code automations.
A specific URL that performs a defined action in the API, such as retrieving a contact or creating a task.
The method used to verify your identity and permissions to access GHL data (OAuth, API keys).
An event in a source app that starts an automation or workflow in Zapier.
An operation performed by Zapier that updates data in GHL or related apps.
Automatically create or update a contact in GHL when a new user signs up in Zapier, then kick off a welcome task sequence.
Route tasks to owners or teams based on contact properties, with auto-notes attached.
Sync notes and tags from GHL to Zapier and back to keep context in sync.
Connect your GHL account and your Zapier app, then grant permissions for the needed endpoints.
Link contact fields between systems and select the required API calls (e.g., GET, POST, PUT).
Run a test in Zapier, then deploy and monitor results via logs and dashboards.
No-code means you can build workflows without writing code. The Zapier App Connector connects GHL’s Contacts API to your apps with a few clicks. If you need advanced logic, you can use filters and paths in Zapier to tailor the automation.
The essential endpoints for creating and updating contacts include POST /contacts/ and PUT /contacts/:contactId. For retrieving, GET /contacts/:contactId. Additional endpoints like POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks and POST /contacts/:contactId/tags support your workflow.
GHL data is transmitted over HTTPS with OAuth2 or API keys. Zapier uses encrypted storage and token validation to protect your data.
You can fetch tasks and notes via GET endpoints and trigger updates. Real-time sync depends on polling frequency and your Zapier plan.
The app requests read access to contacts, tasks, notes, and tags; write access is requested where your workflows require updates. You can review and adjust scopes in your app connections.
Use the Test feature in Zapier to simulate data flow before going live. Check task history and error messages in the Zap runs to diagnose issues.
The endpoint list and rate limits are documented in the integration guide and developer docs. If you need a custom mapping, contact support for assistance.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
