Authenticate each request with a Bearer token obtained from the GHL developer console. Include the token in the Authorization header and rotate credentials regularly for security.
Better Stack stores and uses API credentials to access the GHL API on your behalf. Keep credentials secure and reference them in your workflow.

Automate data synchronization without writing code
Real-time updates across systems
Centralized control from a single workflow
Elements include endpoints, triggers, actions, and data fields. Processes cover authentication, upserts, and error handling.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to perform an action with GHL data.
Token that authenticates requests to the GHL API, typically a Bearer token.
A callback URL that GHL can send events to when data changes.
The maximum number of API requests allowed per minute or hour per app.
Pull additional data from Better Stack to enrich GHL contact records automatically.
Route tasks to teams in GHL based on criteria defined in Better Stack.
Tag contacts in GHL when certain actions occur in Better Stack.
Obtain an API token from the GHL developer console and test the connection.
Grant the app the required scopes (e.g., contacts.readonly) and approve permissions.
Configure endpoints in your workflow to sync data between GHL and Better Stack.
No-code is possible with this integration using Zapier as the bridge. You can design workflows visually to move data between GHL and Better Stack. If you need custom logic, you can still extend using the GHL API directly. For many common scenarios, the visual builder in Zapier covers the required actions without writing code.
A wide range of endpoints are available for read and write operations, including retrieving contacts, their tasks, notes, and tags. You can selectively map fields to keep data in sync between GHL and Better Stack. If you need a write operation that isn’t exposed by default, you can combine multiple endpoints or use the GHL API directly in your app for custom logic.
Data in transit is protected by TLS and standard encryption practices. Tokens are scoped and rotated regularly to minimize risk. Always use secure storage for credentials and apply proper access controls in your integration.
Yes. You can test the connection using a sandbox or test account and mock data before touching live records. Use test credentials and toggle between test and live environments to ensure your workflow behaves as expected.
Authentication uses a Bearer token obtained from the GHL developer console. Store tokens securely and attach them to the Authorization header for every request. If a token expires, refresh it using the standard OAuth flow and update your integration configuration promptly.
If you hit endpoint rate limits, implement exponential backoff and retry logic in your workflow. Consider requesting higher quotas from GHL or spreading requests over time to prevent throttling.
Documentation for the GHL Contacts API is available in the GHL developer portal and in the Better Stack integration guide. You can also consult API reference sections for specific endpoints and example payloads.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
