Yes. The integration uses secure authentication (OAuth or API keys) and encrypted connections. You control the scope and permissions to minimize exposure. Regular security patches ensure compliance with standard web security practices.
A broad set of endpoints are available, including contacts, tasks, notes, appointments, and tags. You can read, create, update, and delete where supported. Endpoint availability may depend on your plan and API access level.
Yes. You can map standard and custom fields from GHL to your destination app. Field mapping is done in Zapier’s setup screen and can be saved as reusable templates.
Data can be synced on a schedule or in real-time via triggers. You can configure polling intervals and event-based triggers according to your workflow needs.
No extensive coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides a no-code interface to connect endpoints, map fields, and set triggers and actions.
Common issues include authentication failures, insufficient permissions, or endpoint rate limits. Verify credentials, re-authorize, and check endpoint status and logs. Our troubleshooting guide covers examples and templates.
