Obtain the proper credentials (OAuth 2.0 or API key) to authorize requests to the Contacts API.
Provide the Zapier App Connector with the necessary scopes and tokens to securely access your GHL data.

Rapid setup with drag-and-drop automation.
No custom coding required to automate Voodoo SMS workflows.
Easy field mapping between GHL and Voodoo SMS to keep data in sync.
Core elements: endpoints (URLs), triggers (events), actions (tasks), methods (HTTP verbs), and fields (data you send or receive) that make the integration work.
An interface that allows different software systems to communicate.
A specific URL path used to perform an action in the API.
An event that starts an automation, such as a new or updated contact.
A task executed in response to a trigger, such as creating a contact.
Fetch contact details from GHL and push to Voodoo SMS for personalized outreach.
Trigger sends when a contact meets predefined criteria.
Schedule periodic sync to keep Voodoo SMS lists up to date.
Grant access to Contacts API and Zapier App Connector.
Choose endpoints and set permissions for secure data flow.
Run tests and enable live automation.
No coding is required to get started. Use the Zapier App Connector to hook your GHL Contacts API to Voodoo SMS with prebuilt triggers and actions. You can customize automations using a visual editor and the available endpoints. If you prefer, you can clone a basic workflow and tailor it to your data and campaigns. The platform handles authentication and endpoint calls for you, so you can focus on outcomes.
For Voodoo SMS, you’ll typically use endpoints that fetch contact data, associated tasks, notes, and the ability to create or update contacts. Common patterns include GET /contacts/:contactId to pull a profile, GET /contacts/ to list, and POST /contacts/ to create. Ensure you have the required permissions (read or write) and test each call in a safe sandbox environment.
Data security is protected through OAuth or API keys, encrypted transmissions, and Zapier’s secure handling of tokens. Use scoped access to limit what each connection can do, and enable regular token rotation. For sensitive operations like contact updates, consider enabling two-factor safeguards and logging.
Yes. Schedule automatic synchronizations with Zapier’s scheduler or by setting time-based triggers in your Zap. Define frequency that suits your workflow, and use retries to handle temporary failures. Always monitor runs and adjust as needed.
Typical synced fields include contactId, name, email, phone, notes, and related businessId. You can extend mappings to include task status, appointment times, and notes, depending on what your workflows require.
If a connection fails, check credentials and scopes, verify endpoint URLs, and review recent logs. Use test data, run a dry run, and confirm rate limits aren’t exceeded. Re-authenticate if necessary and retry failed steps.
Rate limits are typically defined by your GHL API plan and Zapier quotas. If you hit limits, implement backoff and staggered runs, or batch requests where possible. Refer to your API provider’s documentation for exact numbers.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
