Rapid setup with no coding required.
Automations run in Zapier, reducing manual work.
Secure, scalable data flows with built in authentication.
Key elements and processes include endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, data mapping, error handling, and throughput considerations.
An API is a set of rules that lets one software program communicate with another, exchanging data and commands.
The process of verifying identity to grant access to a system or API.
A specific URL path or method in an API that performs an action or returns data.
A call from a service to a URL to notify about events in real time.
Automatically create or update client records in your CRM when a new business is added, capturing key fields and notes.
Pass invoicing or billing changes from GHL to your accounting or project management tools via Zapier.
Create support tickets in your helpdesk when a business flag is set, with auto-assigned owners.
Collect your GHL API credentials and create a OAuth client in the APPNAME to authorize access.
Define the endpoints you will use and map fields between GHL and APPNAME to ensure accurate data transfer.
Run test events, verify data integrity, then enable your Zapier automations.
GHL supports OAuth 2.0 and API key based authentication for API access. In this integration, use the OAuth client created in your APPNAME to authorize token exchange. Ensure your token has the businesses.readonly scope for reading data. For write operations, you will need the appropriate write scope.
For basic connectivity, focus on listing and retrieving businesses with GET /businesses and GET /businesses/{businessId}. If you need to create records, use POST /businesses, and for updates or deletions use PUT and DELETE endpoints respectively.
No heavy coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides a no-code interface to map fields and configure triggers and actions. Some basic configuration of endpoints and data mappings is typically all that is needed.
Data security is ensured through standard OAuth token exchange, restricted scopes, and encrypted transmission. Regular credential rotation and least-privilege access help keep integrations safe.
Yes. You can map fields such as businessId, name, owner, and contact between GHL and APPNAME to ensure data consistency across systems. Use Zapier’s field mapping to align source and destination fields.
Endpoint usage limits depend on your GHL plan and API rate limits. Monitor responses for rate limit hints and implement retries with backoff in your Zap workflows.
Additional resources are available in the APPNAME documentation, the GHL API reference, and the Rankr support portal. If you need personalized help, reach out through the Rankr help center.
