Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to code to set this up?

No coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides a visual workflow builder to connect Pic-Time with the GHL Contacts API. You can configure triggers and actions without writing code. For advanced needs, you can still customize payloads within Zapier using built-in utilities. If you need a quick start, use the pre-mapped templates in Zapier and adjust fields as needed.

Yes, you can enable real-time syncing by triggering on Pic-Time events and updating GHL contacts immediately via the API. Real-time flow may depend on rate limits and API responsiveness. Alternatively, you can schedule periodic syncs if real-time latency is not critical for your workflow.

Typical synced fields include contactId, email, firstName, lastName, and phone, plus associated tasks, notes, and tags when configured. Custom mappings can be added in Zapier to cover additional fields. Sensitive fields should be handled securely and in accordance with your data policies.

Yes. The Zapier App Connector enables no-code integration. It provides triggers, actions, and field mapping that work without custom development. If you need more control, you can extend the flow with conditional logic and multi-step paths inside Zapier.

Security is handled by Zapier and the APIs themselves. Use OAuth tokens or API keys with scoped access, enable encrypted connections (HTTPS), and follow best practices for credential management. Regularly review connected apps and scope permissions to maintain security posture.

If a contact is removed in Pic-Time, the behavior depends on your Zapier flow. You can choose to mirror deletions in GHL or lock the record in GHL while marking it inactive. Always test deletion handling in a sandbox before going live.
