Frequently Asked Questions

How do I authenticate and authorize access between Zillow Tech Connect and the Contacts API?

Authentication is done via OAuth 2.0 and API tokens. You’ll generate credentials in the GHL developer console and grant Zillow Tech Connect the necessary scopes to read contacts, create tasks, and manage notes. Tokens should be stored securely and rotated on a schedule. After setup, you’ll configure your app connection in Zillow Tech Connect to start making authenticated requests. In production, monitor token expiry and use refresh tokens where supported to keep the connection seamless and secure, reducing downtime during automated workflows.

Endpoints include: GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, and POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, among others. You can read, create, update, and delete major entities like contacts, tasks, and notes depending on scopes. The exact surface area depends on the permissions granted to the Zillow Tech Connect app. For practical use, map the endpoints you need into your Zapier-free automation to trigger events and pass data between systems.

Common errors include invalid tokens, expired credentials, or insufficient scopes. Implement retries with exponential backoff and log failures for troubleshooting. Use idempotent operations where possible to avoid duplicate records. Always test error paths in a staging environment before deploying, and ensure you have a plan to recover gracefully from API limit issues or outages.

Yes. You can apply field mappings to select the data you want from Contacts API and shape it for Zillow Tech Connect. Use filters to constrain results and define derived fields as needed so your downstream apps receive only relevant data. This reduces data transfer, speeds up processing, and keeps your data clean and consistent across systems.

There is a no-code path using prebuilt connectors and automation tools. However, advanced use cases may require custom field mappings or scripting. The no-code approach covers common scenarios like reading contacts, creating tasks, and adding notes with straightforward triggers. If you outgrow no-code, you can transition to low-code development without changing your data model or endpoints.

Start with a staging environment or a sandbox, then run end-to-end tests that cover authentication, data mapping, and error handling. Validate with sample contacts, tasks, and notes to ensure data integrity. Review logs and metrics to confirm performance and reliability before going live. Document any deviations and fix them before production deployment.

Security measures include OAuth tokens with scoped access, encrypted connections (HTTPS), and least-privilege permissions. Rotate credentials regularly and store secrets securely. Maintain an auditable trail of data access and changes to support compliance and troubleshooting. Additionally, implement monitoring and alerting for abnormal activity and errors in the integration.
