To access the Tasks API, configure authentication in your GHL connection used by Zapier. Use the provided API token scope: locations/tasks.readonly and ensure secure storage of credentials in Zapier.
Zapier App Connector authenticates to GHL via OAuth 2.0 or API tokens; the connection should include the required scope locations/tasks.readonly. Store credentials securely in Zapier and rotate keys as needed.
Endpoint1: POST /locations/:locationId/tasks/search (primary). Endpoint2-Endpoint54: see API documentation for additional endpoints and complex query options.
Trigger: When a workflow runs, search for tasks by locationId and return results to Zapier for downstream actions.
Actions: Map locationId and any filters (status, dueDate, priority); pass results to subsequent steps or create/update records in other apps.
POST /locations/:locationId/tasks/search
locationId (required), filters like status, dueDate, priority, assigneeId
Trigger: New or updated task data pushed from Zapier to GHL Tasks API
Actions: Upsert task records; map fields such as title, dueDate, status, priority, notes
POST /locations/:locationId/tasks
locationId, title, dueDate, status, notes
Trigger: Status changes in Zapier update the corresponding task in GHL
Actions: Update fields like status, priority, completionTimestamp
PUT /locations/:locationId/tasks/:taskId
locationId, taskId, status
Automate multi-step workflows without writing code.
Achieve real-time data sync between GHL and Accelo with simple triggers.
Reuse templates and build repeatable processes quickly in minutes.
This glossary defines core terms and processes used when integrating the GHL Tasks API with the Zapier App Connector for Accelo.
A URL and HTTP method used to perform a specific operation in an API.
The process of proving identity to obtain access tokens and permissions.
A mechanism to receive real-time data updates from a service.
Pairing data fields between systems so data transfers correctly.
Build a live dashboard showing task status pulled from GHL via the Tasks API and displayed in Zapier workflows.
Create a workflow that identifies stale tasks and moves them to backlog or archiving with minimal effort.
Send proactive alerts to responsible teammates when tasks approach due dates.
Start by creating a new connection in Zapier and authorize access to GHL for the Tasks API.
Choose Endpoint1 (search) and map required fields to your workflow.
Run tests, verify results, then deploy to production.
The best starting point is to connect the Tasks API in Zapier using the Zapier App Connector and grant the required scope (locations/tasks.readonly). This enables safe read access to tasks by location. Then set up a trigger and action using Endpoint1 (search) to retrieve and filter tasks. Use the mapping pane to align important fields and test the flow before going live. A second paragraph provides a quick sanity check and troubleshooting steps if results don’t return as expected.
Endpoint1 is ideal to start with to pull tasks by location. If you need to create tasks, use Endpoint2 (or the next available create endpoint) to upsert records. Test with sample data and validate field mappings. The second paragraph covers common pitfalls such as missing required fields or mis-specified locationId.
Authentication is handled via OAuth 2.0 or API tokens in Zapier. Ensure the token has the locations/tasks.readonly scope and rotate credentials periodically. If you run into permission errors, re-authenticate and check that the API key is attached to the correct GHL application and environment.
Field mapping is essential for data consistency. Map title, dueDate, status, and notes from GHL to Tasks API fields in Accelo. Use Zapier’s mapping tools to convert formats if needed. Double-check required fields and use test data to confirm correct transfers.
Yes. No-code automation is quite feasible here. Create triggers, actions, and filters in Zapier to automate routine tasks without writing code. Consider saving common workflows as templates for reuse across teams.
The endpoint list is documented in the GHL API docs. For this page, Endpoint1 is shown and others are available in the official docs. Use the Endpoint List section to review available calls and parameters. If you need a specific endpoint that isn’t shown, refer to the API reference for exact method paths and required fields.
To test and deploy, run a test workflow in Zapier, verify that data maps correctly and that tasks update in Accelo. Once the test passes, enable the Zapier app connection for production use and monitor logs for any errors. If issues arise, re-check authentication and field mappings.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
