Obtain an API key from your GHL account and grant the minimum required scope (readonly). Keep credentials secure and rotate periodically.
In 17hats, create an integration and paste the GHL API key to establish a trusted connection. Confirm consent screens and scope permissions.
Use GET /businesses to fetch all businesses, GET /businesses/:businessId to fetch a single business, POST /businesses to create, PUT /businesses/:businessId to update, and DELETE /businesses/:businessId to remove a business. The integration also supports the primary write operation for creating and updating records.
Trigger: when a new contact is created in 17hats, push the contact data to GHL and create or update a client record.
Actions: map fields (name, email, phone) and call POST /businesses in GHL to ensure the client exists.
POST /businesses
Fields: businessId, name, email
Trigger: a business record is updated in 17hats
Actions: update corresponding client in GHL via PUT /businesses/:businessId
PUT /businesses/:businessId
Fields: businessId, name, status
Trigger: new lead in 17hats
Actions: create a customer record in GHL using POST /businesses
POST /businesses
Fields: businessId, name, email
Automation without code saves time and reduces manual data entry
Real-time data sync keeps records accurate across systems
Flexible triggers and actions let you tailor workflows without developers
Understand the core elements: endpoints, triggers, actions, and mappings between GHL and 17hats.
An Application Programming Interface that lets software applications talk to each other.
A URL in an API that performs a specific action or returns data.
The process of verifying who you are before allowing access to an API.
A message sent from one app to another when a defined event occurs.
Set up a trigger to push contact data to 17hats and create a corresponding client.
When an invoice is created in 17hats, reflect it in GHL for revenue reporting.
Push notes from 17hats into GHL client profile to keep context.
Generate API keys in GHL and authorize 17hats to access required scopes (read/write).
Map 17hats fields to GHL fields and select endpoints to enable data flow.
Run tests, validate data, and enable automation in your workspace.
No coding is required to get started. The GHL Business API and 17hats connector are designed for no-code automation. You can create powerful data flows using triggers, actions, and field mappings. If you need more advanced logic, you can still extend with custom code in your automation platform. This keeps setup fast and accessible for most teams.
Useful endpoints for common workflows include GET /businesses to list all businesses and GET /businesses/:businessId to fetch a single record. For creation and updates, POST /businesses and PUT /businesses/:businessId are typically your core operations. You can mix and match based on whether you’re syncing clients, invoices, or business records.
Data synchronization occurs through mapped fields and triggers. When a source app updates a record, the corresponding fields in the target app are updated automatically. Webhooks push changes in near real-time, while polling can be used as a fallback for periodic sync.
Yes. You can customize which fields are shared and how they map between 17hats and the Business API. Use scopes and permissions to limit access, and configure field mappings to protect sensitive data while enabling essential information flow.
If the connection fails, first verify credentials and scopes, re-authenticate if needed, and check logs for error details. Ensure endpoints are enabled and that the source and target systems have network access. Retry with a smaller data payload to isolate issues.
Real-time sync is possible with webhooks and event-driven triggers. Some setups may rely on near real-time polling. To maximize timeliness, enable webhook events for create/update actions and monitor for any missed events.
Testing your integration starts in a sandbox or test account. Run sample triggers, verify field mappings, and confirm that create/update operations reflect correctly in the target system. Review logs and use small data batches before going live.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
