Access the GHL Business API using OAuth 2.0 tokens with the appropriate scopes. Store tokens securely and rotate them regularly.
Authenticate Accredible Certificates with a dedicated integration key or OAuth credentials and enforce least privilege for the integration user.
– GET /businesses — Retrieve a list of businesses – GET /businesses/{businessId} — Retrieve a single business by ID – POST /businesses — Create a new business – PUT /businesses/{businessId} — Update an existing business – DELETE /businesses/{businessId} — Delete a business Note: Additional endpoints exist in the API docs; not all are required for this integration.
Trigger: When Accredible issues a new certificate, automatically create a corresponding business in GHL using POST /businesses.
Actions: Map recipient name to business name, recipient email to contact email, and certificate_id to an external_id field. On success, link the certificate to the new GHL record.
POST /businesses
Required fields: name, external_id, email
Trigger: A business record is updated in GHL (e.g., name change, owner change) detected via GET /businesses/{businessId} or webhook.
Actions: Push updates to Accredible recipient and certificate metadata to reflect the changed business details; maintain external_id linkage.
PUT /businesses/{businessId}
Required fields: businessId, name, owner_email
Trigger: Deletion of a business in GHL (DELETE /businesses/{businessId})
Actions: Remove or archive related Accredible recipient data and any linked certificates; optionally trigger a reallocation workflow.
DELETE /businesses/{businessId}
Required fields: businessId
Faster onboarding by eliminating manual data entry between Accredible Certificates and the GHL CRM.
Consistent customer records with real-time synchronization and event-driven updates.
Scalable automation that adapts to growing certificate volumes with robust monitoring.
Key elements: authentication, endpoints, event triggers, and field mappings. Processes: plan, implement, test, monitor, and optimize for reliable integration between GHL and Accredible Certificates.
An access token used to authenticate API requests to the GHL Business API.
An identifier that links records across Accredible and GHL for reliable mapping.
A callback URL or payload that notifies your systems about events like certificate issuance or business updates.
Authorization framework used to obtain access tokens for API requests.
Turn each new certificate recipient into a GHL contact, enabling personalized campaigns and better segmentation.
Use certificate status events to drive lifecycle stages in GHL, such as upgrading accounts or awarding access.
Schedule nightly batch jobs to keep Accredible and GHL data aligned for thousands of records.
Obtain OAuth tokens for both systems and grant the necessary scopes to enable data flow between Accredible and the GHL Business API.
Create a mapping blueprint from Accredible fields (recipient name, email, certificate_id) to GHL business fields (name, email, external_id).
Test in sandbox, verify end-to-end triggers, then deploy with monitoring alerts and retry logic.
Accredible shares essential attributes such as recipient name, email, and the certificate_id to GHL to create or update the corresponding business records. You can also attach certificate status and issue date to the business record as custom fields. This data enables accurate mapping and traceability across the two systems, minimizing manual data entry and ensuring a synchronized view of each recipient’s progress.
The required endpoints are GET /businesses, GET /businesses/{businessId}, POST /businesses, PUT /businesses/{businessId}, and DELETE /businesses/{businessId}. Additional endpoints may be used for advanced workflows. These endpoints provide the core CRUD operations needed to manage businesses and support data flows between Accredible and GHL.
The integration uses OAuth 2.0 access tokens and scoped permissions. Use secure storage, rotate tokens, and implement webhook signature verification. Always follow best practices for API security, including least privilege and regular credential audits.
Yes. You can update field mappings in your integration configuration. After changes, re-test end-to-end flows to ensure correct data mapping. Maintain versioned mappings to track changes and avoid regressions in live systems.
Implement retry logic with exponential backoff. Use idempotent requests where possible to avoid duplicates, and monitor error logs to resolve issues quickly. Set up alerting for failed retries and establish a recovery playbook for common failures.
A sandbox or staging environment is recommended. You can simulate certificate issuance and business updates without affecting live data. Use test certificates and sample data to validate all end-to-end flows before going live.
API documentation for the endpoints is available in the GHL developer docs. Look for the Business API section and the Accredible integration guide. If you cannot locate specific endpoints, reach out to support for the latest reference material and examples.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
