Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to code to connect GHL Contacts API with Zapier App Connector?

No extensive coding is required. Zapier App Connector provides a visual builder and pre-built actions that connect Quora Lead Gen Forms to the Contacts API. You’ll configure authentication, map fields, and set up triggers without writing code. If you need advanced logic, you can insert filters and multi-step paths in Zapier to handle different lead types or error handling.

Yes. The Contacts API supports standard fields like name, email, phone, and lead_source; you can map these in Zapier. For complex data, use notes or tags to store extra context and track the source of each lead.

Yes, the API enforces rate limits to protect performance. Monitor usage from the API dashboard and design your Zaps to batch operations where appropriate. If you approach limits, implement retry logic with backoff and consider staggering lead processing across multiple Zap runs.

POST /contacts/ is great for creating new leads from Quora submissions. GET /contacts/:contactId retrieves and updates are done with PUT /contacts/:contactId. For follow-ups, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks and POST /contacts/:contactId/notes help keep the CRM up to date. Use GET /contacts/ to pull lists when syncing multiple leads at once.

Yes. When a new Quora lead form submission occurs, the Zapier workflow can trigger and push the data into the Contacts API, creating or updating a contact, and optionally adding tasks or notes for follow-up.

Use OAuth 2.0 where possible and store API credentials securely in Zapier connections. Limit scopes to read/write only what you need (e.g., contacts.readonly for reading or specific write permissions for updates). Regularly rotate credentials and monitor for unusual activity via the account dashboard.

Create a Zapier connection for the Zapier App Connector, authorize the GHL Contacts API, and begin by mapping fields from Quora Lead Gen Forms to your Contacts fields. Start with a simple lead-create workflow and expand to tasks and notes as you validate the data flow.
