Zero-code automation: create powerful workflows without writing code.
Fast data sync between Contacts API and Zapier triggers.
Extend workflows across endpoints like tags and business views.
Key elements: endpoints, triggers, actions, data fields, and authentication methods.
Application Programming Interface: a defined set of rules for how software components communicate.
A specific URL in the API that performs a task or retrieves data.
An event that starts an automation workflow in Zapier.
Mechanism to verify identity, such as OAuth or an API key, granting access to the API.
When a resume is parsed, create or update a contact in Contacts API and kick off a workflow to assign tasks.
Use outcomes from CandidateZip to update contact notes and schedule interviews.
Batch process resumes and tag contacts for segmentation in Zapier.
Create a secure connection using OAuth or API key between Contacts API and Zapier App Connector.
Select GET/POST endpoints to pull contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments and map fields.
Create Zapier zaps that use Contacts API events to automate workflows.
You can automate contact creation, updates, task creation, notes, and appointment scheduling between Contacts API and Zapier. This enables no-code workflows that keep systems in sync. The setup uses webhooks or polling to trigger actions in Zapier when changes occur.
Supported authentication includes OAuth 2.0 and API keys. Choose the method that best fits your security requirements, and rotate credentials regularly.
All endpoints listed in the API can be used in Zaps where appropriate. Primary endpoints include retrieving contacts, their tasks, notes, and appointments.
Use Zapier’s mapping features to align fields like name, email, and custom fields from Contacts API to destination apps. Validate data with sample tests.
Rate limits apply per plan. If you hit a limit, implement retries with backoff and consider batching where supported.
Use built-in error handling and logging in Zapier. Retry failed steps and surface error messages for quick debugging.
Zapier provides task histories, run logs, and debugging tools to monitor automations. You can export or review logs as needed.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
