Your GHL API access is secured with an API key or OAuth token. Store credentials safely and provide the token in the Authorization header for each request.
Authenticate the Transloadit app to call GHL by exchanging a client secret for a session token, then pass that token with each API request.
Relevant endpoints include: GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id, GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments, GET /contacts/, GET /contacts/business/:businessId, POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId, DELETE /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed, DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
Trigger: when a contact is added or updated in Transloadit, create or update the corresponding contact in GHL.
Actions: POST /contacts/ to create, PUT /contacts/:contactId to update, POST /contacts/:contactId/notes to attach notes, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to create tasks.
POST /contacts/ or PUT /contacts/:contactId (based on existence).
name, email, phone, businessId, custom_fields
Trigger: a new or updated Transloadit task creates a GHL task for the related contact.
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed, DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId.
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
title, due_date, status, taskId
Trigger: a note or tag is added in Transloadit and mirrored in GHL for the related contact.
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/notes, POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
POST /contacts/:contactId/notes
notes, id, tags
Automate data flow between Transloadit and GHL without writing code.
Reduce manual data entry and keep contacts, tasks, and notes synchronized in real time.
Scale workflows with consistent fields and automated triggers.
Key elements include API endpoints, authentication, webhooks, and data mapping; processes cover setup, testing, and monitoring.
A set of rules and tools that lets two software applications communicate with each other.
A specific URL path and HTTP method used to perform an action in an API.
The process of verifying identity to grant access to an API.
A mechanism for one app to notify another about events in real time.
When a new asset is submitted in Transloadit, automatically create or update a contact in GHL with the submission data.
Process multiple items in Transloadit and reflect task progress as GHL tasks for a given contact.
Append notes and tags in GHL based on metadata collected by Transloadit during asset processing.
Obtain and securely store your GHL API key or OAuth token, then authorize requests from Transloadit.
Map the needed endpoints: /contacts/, /contacts/:contactId, /contacts/:contactId/tasks, /contacts/:contactId/notes, etc.
Run test events, verify data mapping, and enable live automation.
No advanced coding is required for a basic integration. You can use Zapier App Connector to map GHL Contacts API endpoints to Transloadit events, then test the workflow in a sandbox or test environment. For more complex mappings, light scripting is possible, but many automations can be built using standard Zapier actions and conditional logic.
Essential endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/, and POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks for a basic sync of contacts and tasks. Notes and tags endpoints are optional but powerful for richer CRM records.
Authentication typically uses an API key or OAuth token. Each request must include proper authorization headers. Permissions are scoped to the Contacts API, so you can grant read or write access as needed. Rotating credentials and storing them securely is recommended.
Yes. Data field mappings can be customized to match your CRM schema. You can map name, email, phone, businessId, notes, and tags between Transloadit and GHL, and update mappings as your data model evolves.
Absolutely. Use Zapier’s test mode or a staging environment to simulate triggers and actions. Review logs, data payloads, and error messages to validate mappings before going live.
Quotas and rate limits depend on your GHL and Zapier plans. Plan for API call ceilings during peak processing and implement retry logic with backoff to handle transient failures.
Monitor activity via Zapier task history and GHL API logs. Look for failed requests, authentication issues, or data mismatches, and adjust field mappings or permissions as needed.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
