To begin, generate an API key for Tasks API with the locations/tasks.readonly scope and authorize Zapier App Connector to access your GHL data.
In Zapier, connect your app to the GHL Tasks API by choosing the Tasks API connection, entering the credentials, and testing the connection to verify access.
Endpoint 1: POST /locations/:locationId/tasks/search; Endpoint 2-50: Not used on this page.
Trigger: when a relevant task is found by a search, you can start downstream actions.
Actions: create new tasks, update statuses, assign owners, or push data to your project boards.
Method path: POST /locations/:locationId/tasks/search
Key fields: locationId, query, task_status, due_date, assignee_id
Trigger: new form submission feeds data into a task.
Actions: create task, set due date, notify team.
POST /locations/:locationId/tasks/search
Fields: locationId, subject, description, dueDate, contactEmail
Trigger: a weekly digest is generated and shared via email or Slack.
Actions: compile metrics, export to PDF/Spreadsheet, send to recipients.
POST /locations/:locationId/tasks/search
Fields: locationId, report_period, metrics, recipients
Automate repetitive tasks without writing code.
Create powerful automations with clicks, not code.
Scale operations quickly by composing triggers and actions.
Core elements include endpoints, triggers, actions, authentication, and data fields used to move information between GHL and your apps.
Application Programming Interface: a set of rules that lets different software systems talk to each other.
A specific URL and HTTP method that performs an action in an API.
A way for services to notify your app about events in real time.
Credentials, tokens, or OAuth flows used to prove identity and grant access.
Turn form submissions into tasks with auto-assignment and due dates.
Post task changes or completions to a dedicated Slack channel for transparency.
Aggregate overdue tasks and share a concise weekly report.
Obtain an API key with the locations/tasks.readonly scope and your GHL account details.
In Zapier, select the Tasks API connection, enter credentials, and authorize access.
Create a simple Zap that triggers on a task search result and routes data to your tools.
The GHL Tasks API provides programmatic access to search, create, and manage tasks within your locations. This page focuses on connecting the Tasks API to the Zapier App Connector to automate task workflows without code. You can trigger automations based on task search results and push updates to teammates and downstream apps. It also helps you map fields like locationId, task_status, due_date, and assignee to your Zaps.
Authentication is done via API credentials issued by your GHL account. Use the locations/tasks.readonly scope for read-only access and securely store your API key in Zapier. Test the connection to confirm access before building Zaps.
The primary endpoint highlighted here is POST /locations/:locationId/tasks/search. Other endpoints exist in the API reference; this page emphasizes how to use search results to drive automations.
Yes. In Zapier, you can run a dry run or test your Zap with sample data to ensure correct mapping and behavior before going live.
No extensive coding is required. Zapier provides a no-code interface to connect GHL Tasks API endpoints with triggers and actions.
You can sync fields such as locationId, subject, due_date, status, and assignee. Depending on your use case, you can choose which fields are read or updated.
Developer docs for the GHL Tasks API and the Zapier App Connector are available in the GHL API reference and the Zapier platform docs. Use the endpoint docs to understand parameters and responses.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
