Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to code to set this up?

No coding is required for basic setups. The integration uses standard API connections and Zapier-style triggers to move data between Ruzuku and GHL. You can configure field mappings via a simple interface and test the flow without writing code. For advanced automations, you can extend with custom mappings or additional endpoints as needed.

Basic sync typically uses endpoints to create and update contacts, and to manage tasks and tags. For example, POST /contacts/ and PUT /contacts/:contactId keep contact records current, while POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks creates tasks and POST /contacts/:contactId/tags applies tags. You can expand to notes and other resources as your workflow requires.

Connections use standard OAuth 2.0 tokens or API keys, with token rotation and scoped permissions. Data is transmitted over secure channels, and you can monitor activity via logs. Implementing retries and error handling helps maintain reliability during transient failures.

Yes. If a contact is removed from Ruzuku or becomes inactive, you can configure a workflow to reflect the change in GHL. Depending on your rules, you may deactivate, archive, or delete the corresponding contact in GHL to keep data synchronized.

Common errors include token expiration, permission scope issues, and mismatched field mappings. Use built-in validation, log inspection, and retry policies. Implement exponential backoff for failed requests and verify field names match between systems.

This integration can be connected with other apps that expose compatible endpoints. You can reuse the same mapping logic and triggers for additional systems, enabling multi-app automation without reinventing your data model.

Sync activity logs are typically accessible in the integration dashboard or via GHL’s activity log. You can filter by date, endpoint, and contact to diagnose issues, plus enable email or webhook alerts for failures.
