Authenticate requests to the GHL API with API keys and OAuth tokens. Use the Developer Marketplace to issue credentials for secure access from Zapier.
Connect Zapier to GHL using OAuth 2.0 and app‑level tokens, configuring the Zapier app to securely store credentials.

Trigger: A new contact is created in Zapier and pushed to GHL via the /contacts endpoint.
Actions: Create or update a GHL contact; upsert to keep records in sync.
POST /contacts
Key fields: email, firstName, lastName
Trigger: New lead in Zapier triggers deal creation in GHL.
Actions: Create or update deals and attach them to associated leads.
POST /deals
Key fields: leadId, dealName, value
Trigger: A task or event in Zapier updates a task in GHL.
Actions: Create tasks, log activities, update status in GHL.
POST /tasks
Key fields: taskName, dueDate, assigneeId
Automate data flows between GHL and Zapier without writing code, reducing manual data entry and speeding up workflows.
Centralized authentication and scalable endpoints make multi‑app automations quick to set up.
Upsert and sync logic ensures data consistency with minimal maintenance.
This glossary defines core elements and processes for connecting GHL via the Developer Marketplace API to Zapier, including authentication, endpoints, rate limits, and data mapping.
Application Programming Interface that enables software to communicate and share data.
A specific path in an API that performs an action, such as creating or retrieving a resource.
The process of verifying identity to grant access to API resources.
A cap on the number of API requests allowed in a given time window.
Automatically push new leads from your source into GHL as contacts, triggering follow-up actions in your sales sequence.
Create deals in GHL when a lead reaches a funnel stage, and update stages as events occur in connected apps.
Automatically create tasks in GHL when actions occur in other apps, ensuring timely follow-ups.
Obtain API keys from GHL Developer Marketplace and configure them in the Zapier app settings to authenticate requests.
Authorize the Zapier app to access GHL resources and choose the endpoints you want to use.
Create a workflow, run tests, monitor logs, and deploy to production.
Yes. The Zapier App Connector provides a no-code bridge to connect GHL actions and triggers. You can build automations quickly without writing code. The app handles authentication and endpoint calls behind the scenes, making it accessible to non-developers.
GHL supports OAuth 2.0 and API key-based authentication for its Developer Marketplace API. The exact method depends on the endpoint and scope; Zapier stores credentials securely and refreshes tokens as needed. For security, rotate credentials regularly and follow best practices when managing access.
To obtain API credentials, sign into the GHL Developer Marketplace, create an app, and generate client ID/secret and API keys. Then configure these in Zapier. Keep credentials secure and limit scopes to least privilege.
Yes, there are rate limits per endpoint. Implement exponential backoff and retry strategies for 429 responses. Monitor usage in the GHL developer portal and adjust as needed.
Absolutely. You can map custom fields between GHL and Zapier. Ensure fields exist on both sides and use upsert operations to keep data in sync across apps.
Common endpoints include creating and updating contacts, deals, tasks, and retrieving leads. The full list is available in the ENDPOINTLIST section of this guide.
Yes. Official docs and templates provide example workflows and Zap templates to accelerate your integration development.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
