Triggers
Events in Goliath that can start a Zap.
Triggers let your Zaps react to things that happen inside Goliath. When the event you’re watching for happens, Zapier wakes up and runs the rest of your Zap.
Available triggers
Contact Tag Added
Fires whenever a contact in your workspace gets a tag — whether the tag was added by hand, by a Goliath workflow automation, or by another Zap.
You can either listen for any tag being added, or scope the trigger to a specific tag so the Zap only fires when that tag is applied. Scoping is the recommended pattern: it keeps your Zap quota lean and avoids re-running on tags you don’t care about.
The tag name to watch for. Leave empty to listen for any tag added to any contact in your workspace.
What you’ll see in the test step
When you set up the Zap, Zapier’s Test trigger step will pull a sample contact from your workspace and show you all the fields you can map into later steps:

Zapier handles the subscription automatically when you turn the Zap on or off — there’s nothing to manage on the Goliath side.
Common patterns
- Push hot leads to Slack. Trigger on tag =
Hot Lead, action = Slack Send Channel Message. Mapcontact_name,primary_phone, andseller_intent_scoreinto the message body. - Sync contacts to a CRM. Trigger on tag =
Synced, action = your CRM’s Create Contact. Use the email and phone fields to fill the record. - Email a stakeholder. Trigger on tag =
Needs Review, action = Gmail Send Email with a digest of the contact’s properties and intent score.
Limitations
- Only the Contact Tag Added event is currently supported. Property, deal, note, and task events are not exposed to Zapier yet.
- The trigger fires across your whole workspace — you can’t filter by user, contributor, or pipeline today. Use a tag to narrow it.
