Authenticate to the GHL Business API using your API key and OAuth scopes. Ensure your app has access to GET and POST endpoints.
Set up secure credentials in Acumbamail, generate an API key, and grant the necessary scopes to communicate with the GHL Business API.

Enable triggers and set up scheduled syncs in Acumbamail.
The Business API provides programmatic access to manage business records within your GHL account. By linking Acumbamail, you can pull, create, and update business data from within your campaigns. This enables automation across marketing workflows. Start with authentication and test basic read operations to validate connectivity.
Authentication relies on an API key with appropriate scopes and optional OAuth grants. Ensure your app requests read and write permissions for the endpoints you intend to call. Rotate keys regularly and store credentials securely.
For syncing businesses, begin with GET /businesses to fetch the list, then use GET /businesses/{businessId} for details. If you need to add records, POST /businesses. Use PUT /businesses/{businessId} to update, and DELETE /businesses/{businessId} to remove obsolete entries.
Yes. You can create new business records from Acumbamail by posting to POST /businesses. The response returns the new businessId which you can use to link or update related records in your workflows.
No code integration is possible through Zapier or native connectors. You can map fields, set triggers, and configure workflows without writing code. Advanced users can extend with custom scripts if needed.
Data sync times depend on your integration design. Real time is possible for some triggers, while batch syncs can be scheduled at intervals. Use webhooks for event driven updates where instant delivery matters.
API rate limits are defined in your GHL account API section. Monitor usage in your dashboard and implement exponential backoff to handle bursts gracefully.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
