Authenticate requests to the GHL Business API using an OAuth 2.0 access token. Include the Bearer token in the Authorization header and request the appropriate scope, such as businesses.readonly.
Zapier securely manages credentials and token refreshing. The connector supports OAuth 2.0 or API key methods used by the GHL integration, with automatic token refresh.

No-code automation: build workflows without writing code
Rapid data syncing: near real-time updates across apps
Scalability: reuse templates for multiple endpoints
Key components include API endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, and data mapping
A specific URL in an API that you call to perform a function, e.g., GET /businesses lists records.
Authorization framework that issues access tokens for API requests.
Security token used in the Authorization header to prove identity.
HTTP callback that sends real-time data from one app to another.
Capture new client details in GHL when a form is submitted via Zapier.
Sync tasks between Actionstep and project tools using GHL endpoints.
Trigger invoices and payment events in GHL when transactions occur in connected apps.
Register your app in GHL to obtain clientId and clientSecret, then set the redirect URI to Zapier.
In Zapier, select the GHL Business API connection, authenticate, and pick the desired endpoint.
Map data fields between GHL and your app, run tests, and deploy the workflow.
The GHL Business API exposes core business data like contacts, companies, and activities. With Zapier, you can automate creation, updates, and retrieval of records without writing code. Set up triggers, actions, and searches to streamline workflows across apps.
No-code setup is possible. Use drag-and-drop workflow builders in Zapier to map endpoints to actions. For advanced scenarios, you may use custom fields or filters.
Key endpoints include GET /businesses, GET /businesses/{businessId}, POST /businesses, PUT /businesses/{businessId}, and DELETE /businesses/{businessId}. These allow listing, creating, updating, and deleting records.
Zapier uses OAuth 2.0 or API keys to obtain an access token for GHL requests. The app handles token refresh automatically, keeping integrations seamless.
Yes. Use Zapier’s built-in test feature to simulate triggers and actions against sandbox or live data, ensuring mappings are correct.
You can map fields from GHL endpoints to fields in your target app. Use Zapier’s formatter and filters to shape data as needed.
Zapier provides task history and debug logs for each Zap. Review logs to troubleshoot failed triggers or actions.
