Authenticate requests with a GHL API token that has the required scope (businesses.readonly) to access endpoints like GET /businesses and GET /businesses/{businessId}. Store tokens securely and rotate them regularly.
Configure ActiveTrail to use a connector credential and your GHL API token to authorize calls, keeping credentials secure and private.
Primary endpoints used: GET /businesses, GET /businesses/{businessId}, POST /businesses, PUT /businesses/{businessId}, DELETE /businesses/{businessId} (scope: businesses.readonly for read operations).
Trigger: Use GET /businesses to pull the full list of businesses from GHL to sync with ActiveTrail.
Actions: Create or update corresponding ActiveTrail records and map fields like id, name, and status.
GET /businesses
Key fields: businessId, name, status, lastUpdated
Trigger: Retrieve a single business with GET /businesses/{businessId} to sync specific records.
Actions: Update or create a matching ActiveTrail record for the retrieved business.
GET /businesses/{businessId}
Key fields: businessId, name
Trigger: When a new business is added or updated, use POST /businesses or PUT /businesses/{businessId} to reflect changes in ActiveTrail.
Actions: Create or update the ActiveTrail record, map fields, and preserve linking IDs.
POST /businesses
Key fields: businessId, name
Automates data flow without writing code, reducing manual updates.
Keeps business and contact data in sync in near real-time for accurate targeting.
Minimizes errors and accelerates workflows by centralizing data movement.
Key elements include API endpoints, authentication, data mapping, error handling, and monitoring to ensure reliable syncing between GHL and ActiveTrail.
GHL API is the GHL Business API interface used to access and manage business data in integrations.
ActiveTrail is the APPNAME in this integration, the destination for syncing business data from GHL.
An API endpoint is a specific URL that performs a defined action, such as retrieving or updating a resource.
The process of validating requests via tokens or keys to securely access the GHL API.
Automatically pull GET /businesses and create or update contact records in ActiveTrail to maintain a unified audience.
Use webhooks or polling to sync updates when a business changes.
Trigger onboarding emails or tasks in ActiveTrail when a new business is created.
Obtain a GHL API token with the required scope (businesses.readonly) and configure your ActiveTrail connector.
Create a mapping from GHL business fields (id, name, status) to ActiveTrail fields (Business ID, Name, Status).
Run tests with sample data, verify synchronization, monitor logs, and deploy to production.
Yes. You must authenticate requests to the GHL API using a token with the appropriate scope (businesses.readonly for read operations). Keep tokens secure, rotate regularly, and grant the least privilege necessary.
The primary endpoints used are GET /businesses and GET /businesses/{businessId} for retrieval, POST /businesses and PUT /businesses/{businessId} for creation and updates, and DELETE /businesses/{businessId} for removal if needed. Use the endpoint list to map actions.
Yes, depending on permissions; you can write to GHL to create or update records from ActiveTrail using POST and PUT endpoints. Ensure token scope allows write access.
Permissions required include at least a reader (businesses.readonly) for retrieval; for writes you need a write-enabled scope (businesses.write).
Field mapping steps: identify key fields (businessId, name, status) in GHL and map to ActiveTrail fields; test with sample data; handle data types and format conversions.
If a business is deleted in GHL, you can choose to delete or archive the corresponding ActiveTrail record or mark it inactive, depending on your data retention policy.
Documentation is available in the GHL API docs and the ActiveTrail developer resources. Refer to the Endpoint Catalog and Auth sections for details.
