Authenticate to the GHL Business API using your account credentials. Obtain an access token via OAuth2 or use an API key as configured in your account settings. Store tokens securely and scope them to businesses.readonly for read operations and businesses.write for modifications.
Authenticate the Zapier App Connector to GHL by attaching your OAuth credentials or API key for the GHL Business API. Ensure the connector requests the correct scopes and tests the connection before deployment.
Key endpoints include: GET /businesses to list, GET /businesses/{businessId} to retrieve details, POST /businesses to create, PUT /businesses/{businessId} to update, and DELETE /businesses/{businessId} to remove. Use these to sync Acuity Scheduling data with Zapier.
Trigger: when a new business is created or updated in GHL to push updates into Zapier, and vice versa.
Actions: Create, Update, or Delete a business in either system via POST/PUT/DELETE endpoints.
GET /businesses and POST /businesses for creates; GET /businesses/{businessId} for details; PUT /businesses/{businessId} and DELETE /businesses/{businessId} for updates/removals.
businessId, name, status, createdAt
Trigger: import a batch of businesses from a spreadsheet to GHL via APPNAME.
Actions: POST /businesses for each row; PUT /businesses/{businessId} for updates.
POST /businesses (bulk import), followed by PUT /businesses/{businessId} for updates as needed.
businessId, name, email, phone, address
Trigger: when a business is inactive or deprecated in GHL, archive it in APPNAME.
Actions: DELETE or Archive using DELETE /businesses/{businessId} or a soft-delete equivalent.
DELETE /businesses/{businessId}
businessId
Fast setup with no code to automate Acuity Scheduling workflows.
Centralized automation between GHL and Acuity Scheduling via the App Connector.
Scalable automations for many businesses without custom development.
A quick glossary of terms and core processes to connect GHL to the Zapier App Connector, including authentication, endpoints, triggers, and actions.
The process of proving identity to access the GHL API, typically via OAuth 2.0 or an API key.
An event in GHL or the App Connector that starts an automation or workflow in Zapier.
A specific URL path exposed by the API used to perform operations on resources.
An operation executed via the API, such as create, update, or delete.
Automatically sync Acuity Scheduling events to GHL as activities and create follow-up tasks.
Use a spreadsheet to batch-create businesses in GHL and link to Acuity data in Zapier.
Implement retry logic and alerting for failed API calls to maintain reliability.
Begin by authorizing the Zapier App Connector to access your GHL Business API account.
Select endpoints GET /businesses, GET /businesses/{businessId}, POST /businesses, PUT /businesses/{businessId}, DELETE /businesses/{businessId} as needed.
Test the connection with sample data and deploy the automation to live.
The GHL Business API enables programmatic access to your business data, including listing, retrieving, creating, updating, and deleting business records. It is designed for automation workflows via the APPNAME connector. The available scope in this guide focuses on reading and management of businesses, ensuring you can synchronize data with Zapier and Acuity Scheduling. Always protect credentials and rotate tokens regularly.
Supported endpoints in this integration include: GET /businesses, GET /businesses/{businessId}, POST /businesses, PUT /businesses/{businessId}, and DELETE /businesses/{businessId}. Additional endpoints may be provided as needed; check your API access for the exact list. These endpoints enable listing, viewing, creating, updating, and deleting business records used in Acuity Scheduling workflows.
Authentication is performed using your GHL account credentials via OAuth 2.0 or a configured API key. In Zapier, connect the GHL app using the same credentials and authorize the app to request the required scopes for reading and modifying business data. Store tokens securely and refresh as needed.
Yes. By wiring triggers and actions in Zapier, you can automate data flow so that changes in GHL (or in Acuity Scheduling through the connector) trigger corresponding updates without manual steps. Ensure proper polling or webhooks are configured if available.
If an API call fails, implement retries with exponential backoff and consider logging to your Zapier task history. Check the API response for rate limits and error details, then adjust as needed.
Required scopes typically include businesses.readonly for read operations and businesses.write for creating, updating, or deleting records. Verify the exact scopes in your GHL account settings and the App Connector configuration.
API keys or OAuth tokens are managed in your GHL developer or account dashboard. In Zapier, connect the GHL app using the same credentials and ensure the tokens are kept secure and up to date.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
