Authenticate with the GHL API using OAuth 2.0 credentials or an API key. Create a client in the GHL developer portal and securely store credentials in Zapier.
Zapier App Connector authenticates to GHL via the selected method, managing token refreshes and scope. Follow the prompts to authorize the app.
A curated set of endpoints including Endpoint1 through Endpoint54 to support donor and campaign data flow between GHL and 4aGoodCause via Zapier App Connector.
Trigger: New donor entry in 4aGoodCause creates or updates a contact in GHL.
Actions: Upsert contact, attach donations, add notes.
Methods: POST /contacts and PUT /contacts/{id}
Key fields: donor_id, email, first_name, last_name, total_donated
Trigger: Campaign changes in 4aGoodCause push updates to GHL campaigns.
Actions: Update campaign status, fetch donor lists, sync goals.
Methods: PATCH /campaigns/{id}
Fields: campaign_id, status, goal, end_date
Trigger: New donor added in 4aGoodCause triggers GHL contact upsert.
Actions: Create or update contact profile, add donation history, tag donors.
POST /contacts
Fields: donor_id, email, first_name, last_name, total_donated, last_donation_date
Automate repetitive tasks across apps without writing a line of code.
Keep donor data synchronized in real time between GHL and 4aGoodCause.
Launch campaigns faster with ready made automations and templates.
Familiarize yourself with essential terms and processes to design effective automations: endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, and field mapping.
A specific URL path in the GHL API that performs a defined action, such as creating a contact or updating a donation.
OAuth 2.0 is a standard authorization framework used to grant scoped access without sharing passwords.
A real time notification mechanism that pushes data from GHL to the connected app when events occur.
The process of aligning data fields between GHL and the APPNAME so data transfers correctly.
Automatically log new donations from 4aGoodCause into GHL, tagged by campaign and donor.
Segment donors in GHL based on giving history and engagement signs and apply tags.
Automatically advance campaigns in GHL as donors interact, from launch to wrap up.
Obtain client credentials, authorize, and test the connection.
Select triggers and actions, map fields, and set up filters.
Run end to end tests, review logs, and start automations.
You can automate donor management, campaign updates, and donation logging without writing code. Connect GHL API with Zapier App Connector to streamline workflows. Start with a simple trigger like a new donor and expand to multi step automations as you grow.
No deep coding is required. The wizard guides you through authentication, field mapping, and testing. Basic knowledge of data fields helps, but the interface handles the technical details.
Authentication uses OAuth 2.0 tokens or API keys, plus token refresh handling. All credentials are stored securely and never exposed in your data streams.
The integration covers common endpoints for contacts, campaigns, donations, and events. You can enable additional endpoints as needed.
Yes. Webhooks and polling can keep GHL and APPNAME in sync in near real time. You can tune frequency to balance latency and API usage.
Pricing and limits depend on your plan. The connector itself avoids per action fees, but API call quotas and Zapier task usage may apply.
If a connection fails, verify credentials, reauthenticate, and review error messages. Check logs in Zapier and GHL for detailed troubleshooting steps.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
