To access the GHL Tasks API, you’ll authenticate your app using OAuth 2.0 with the scope locations/tasks.readonly. Use the credentials from your GHL developer settings and request user consent.
Zapier handles token storage and refresh for you. Connect once and let Zapier renew access as needed.
– POST /locations/:locationId/tasks/search — search tasks for a location. Other endpoints are available in the API docs.
When a triggering event occurs (for example, a new task is created), Zapier runs a search to fetch current tasks and updates downstream steps.
Actions include mapping fields, creating or updating tasks in GHL, and routing results to subsequent steps.
POST /locations/{locationId}/tasks/search
Key fields: locationId, query parameters (filters, status, due date), limit, offset
Configure a webhook so that changes in GHL tasks push updates to Zapier as they happen.
Actions: parse webhook payloads, trigger Zap steps, and push updates back to GHL if needed.
Webhook endpoint configuration in Zapier or the GHL webhook settings
Fields: taskId, changeType, timestamp, locationId
Schedule a batch run to process multiple tasks at once (e.g., nightly exports).
Actions: batch create/update, map fields, handle errors, and notify teams.
POST /locations/:locationId/tasks/batch
Fields: locationId, batchSize, tasks array, retryPolicy
No‑code automation: build powerful workflows in minutes without writing code.
Extend GHL workflows with Zapier triggers and actions for broader automation.
Scale across locations and automate repetitive tasks across your team with ease.
Key terms and processes you’ll encounter when connecting the GHL Tasks API with the Zapier App Connector.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to perform an operation against the GHL Tasks API.
The method by which apps prove identity to access the GHL API (e.g., OAuth 2.0, API keys).
A real-time notification sent to a configured endpoint when data changes in GHL or connected apps.
A grouping in GHL representing a physical or logical area where tasks are stored.
Send a daily digest of tasks per location to your team Slack or email.
Push task changes from GHL to external systems and vice versa using Zapier.
Schedule weekly exports to CSV for reports.
Log in to GHL, create an OAuth client, and authorize the Zapier App Connector.
Choose the Tasks API trigger (for example, New or Updated Task) and map fields.
Run a test in Zapier to verify data flow and then enable your workflow.
No coding is required when using the Zapier App Connector with the GHL Tasks API. The no-code interface lets you set triggers, actions, and mappings visually. If you need deeper customization, you can always add custom webhooks or run small scripts within Zapier paths.
The primary endpoint you’ll use is POST /locations/:locationId/tasks/search. The API docs list additional endpoints for creating, updating, and deleting tasks, as well as configuring webhooks and batch operations.
Supported authentication includes OAuth 2.0 with scope locations/tasks.readonly and API keys where applicable. Your app will use OAuth to obtain access tokens and refresh tokens automatically via Zapier.
Yes. Webhooks allow real-time updates, and Zapier actions can push changes back into GHL or other systems. Two-way sync is possible with careful mapping and polling where needed.
Rate limits apply to API requests. If you hit limits, implement backoff in your Zapier automations and stagger requests across tasks.
Use the Zapier test feature to trigger the Zap with sample data. Check the GHL API docs for sample payloads and field mappings.
See the API reference for a complete list of endpoints and parameters. The Endpoint List in this guide shows the primary paths you’ll use.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
