Frequently Asked Questions

How do I authenticate the GHL Contacts API with Gift Up!?

You authenticate using your GHL API credentials within Gift Up!’s connector. Start by obtaining an API key, then configure the app with the scope of contacts.readonly to fetch contact data safely. If your workflow requires updates, you can request additional scopes or use write-enabled endpoints as needed. Ensure secure storage of credentials and rotate keys regularly.

For a basic sync, you typically need read access to contacts and related resources such as tasks and notes. Start with GET /contacts/:contactId to pull contact data, then expand to POST /contacts/ for creating records as needed. Use these endpoints to build a reliable, two-way sync.

Yes. The integration can read and write data depending on the permissions granted by your API key. Use the write-enabled endpoints like POST, PUT, and DELETE to keep Gift Up! and GHL Contacts API in sync.

Common default fields include contactId, email, firstName, lastName, and associated notes or tasks. Field mappings can be customized in Zapier App Connector to fit your data model.

Webhooks notify your system in real time when a connected app reports events such as contact updates or new tasks. Configure a webhook in GHL to push changes to Gift Up!’s automation flows.

No advanced coding is required. Use the Zapier App Connector to link endpoints and set up triggers, actions, and mappings with a visual editor.

Endpoint details are available in the GHL API documentation or within the App Connector configuration screen. Review the list of endpoints and their required parameters to build your flows.
