Use OAuth or an API key with the GHL scope locations/tasks.readonly to securely authorize requests to the Tasks API.
Connect Zapier App Connector to GHL using OAuth credentials and app tokens to establish secure access.
POST /locations/:locationId/tasks/search — primary endpoint to locate tasks by location; supports filtering by query, status, and assignee.
Trigger: A location is specified and a new or updated task search runs to fetch relevant tasks.
Action: Call the Tasks Search endpoint and route results to your dashboard, CRM, or notification channel.
POST /locations/:locationId/tasks/search
locationId, query, status, assignee, dueDate
Trigger: On-demand fetch to list all tasks for a location.
Action: Retrieve all tasks via a listing endpoint and push to your workflow.

Answer: You can connect without custom code by using Zapier App Connector. Authentication is handled via OAuth or API keys tied to the GHL Tasks API scope locations/tasks.readonly. This setup allows you to pull task data, trigger automations, and push results to downstream apps. The initial connection establishes trust between GHL and Zapier, after which you can start building multi-step workflows without writing code.
Answer: Supported methods include OAuth-based authentication and API keys with the specified readonly scope. Use the recommended OAuth flow for secure, token-based access, or API keys for server-to-server integrations. Always protect credentials and rotate keys regularly.
Answer: Common workflows typically require the POST /locations/:locationId/tasks/search endpoint to retrieve tasks, plus optional listing or create/update endpoints for comprehensive automation. Map these endpoints to triggers like location changes or new tasks to drive downstream actions in your apps.
Answer: Field mapping involves pairing GHL task fields (locationId, task status, assignee, dueDate, etc.) with corresponding fields in your target app. Use Zapier’s data mapping to translate each field, handle data types, and apply defaults where needed to ensure smooth data flow.
Answer: Webhooks are one way to trigger actions, but you can also poll or schedule tasks using the Tasks Search endpoint. Webhooks provide real-time updates, while polling gives you periodic updates. Choose the approach that best fits your latency requirements and app capabilities.
Answer: The Tasks API access is governed by the scope you grant. If you only grant locations/tasks.readonly, you’ll have read-only access by default. You can extend permissions as needed for write capabilities, following best security practices.
Answer: Endpoint details and limits are documented within the GHL API reference and the Zapier App Connector docs. You’ll find exact URL patterns, required parameters, rate limits, and pagination guidance to design robust automations.
