Access to the Tasks API is controlled through your GHL account using standard OAuth 2.0 flows or API keys, depending on how your tenant is configured.
Zapier authenticates apps using OAuth 2.0 tokens or API keys as configured in your workspace, ensuring secure connections to GHL.
Key endpoint: POST /locations/:locationId/tasks/search. Additional endpoints are available in the full API reference.
Trigger: When a user requests a task search from the dashboard, this endpoint retrieves matching tasks.
Actions: map API results to Zapier fields and return a structured list of tasks for downstream steps.
POST /locations/:locationId/tasks/search
Required: locationId; optional: taskStatus, dueDate, assignee
Trigger: Create a new task or update an existing one from Zapier to sync with GHL.
Actions: submit task payload to create or update; handle idempotency and field mapping.
POST /locations/:locationId/tasks
Key fields: locationId, taskName, dueDate, status
Trigger: When a task status changes in GHL, reflect the update in Zapier and connected apps.
Actions: push status updates back to Zapier and downstream workflows.
POST /locations/:locationId/tasks/:taskId/status
Key fields: locationId, taskId, status

A concise glossary of terms and processes used in the GHL Tasks API to Zapier integration.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to perform a defined action on the API.
The method by which your app proves identity to access the API, typically OAuth 2.0.
A mechanism for the API to push data to your app in real time.
The maximum number of requests allowed in a given time window.
Set up a Zap to parse incoming emails and create corresponding tasks in GHL automatically.
Keep task statuses updated in GHL when statuses change in your project management app.
Create multiple tasks in GHL in response to new CRM events or leads.
Connect your GHL account and the Zapier App Connector to begin.
Select the Tasks API endpoints (such as search) and map fields to Zapier.
Run tests to validate data flow and enable automated workflows.
The integration supports OAuth 2.0 and API key methods, depending on your GHL configuration. Use OAuth 2.0 for user-based access and API keys for server-to-server flows. Ensure your credentials are kept secure and rotated regularly. The connection in Zapier will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access to the GHL Tasks API.
Rate limits vary by endpoint and plan. For Task searches and updates, expect moderate limits; if you hit a limit, you can retry after a short pause. Consider batching requests where possible and using webhooks to minimize polling.
Yes. You can use test environments or sandbox endpoints where available to validate your setup. Use sample data to verify field mappings and ensure that task data flows correctly before going live.
The core endpoints include task search, create/update tasks, and status updates. Additional endpoints may be available depending on your GHL and Zapier configuration. Refer to the full API reference for a complete list.
Map fields by dragging and dropping in Zapier. Common mappings include task name, due date, assignee, and status. Use consistent data types to avoid parsing errors and test thoroughly.
Implement retries with exponential backoff and handle 429 or 500 errors gracefully. Use idempotent requests and keep a retry queue to ensure data consistency during transient issues.
