Authenticate requests with your GHL API credentials and keep access tokens secure. Use the API key and OAuth flows described in your GHL developer dashboard.
Discourse connects to GHL using standard OAuth2 tokens or API keys. Store credentials securely and rotate regularly.

You will authenticate using your GHL API credentials and OAuth tokens. Keep credentials secure and rotate them regularly. Use the recommended authentication flow from your GHL dashboard. This ensures secure access to the Contacts API from Discourse. It also supports token refresh and least-privilege access for safety.
Commonly used endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks and POST /contacts/ These enable retrieval updating and task creation as part of the workflow. Depending on your use case you may also use notes and tags endpoints.
No code options are available via the GHL workflow builder and Zapier-style integrations. You can configure triggers actions and mappings visually. For complex logic you can add small scripts or use built-in logic blocks if supported.
Test in a staging environment using sample contacts tasks and notes. Validate data integrity check field mappings and ensure webhooks fire correctly. Review error logs and retry policies before going live.
The data you exchange typically includes contact details name email phone notes tasks and tags. You can map fields like contactId name email and taskId for precise updates.
Yes there are rate limits on API requests. Plan for throttling and implement exponential backoff and retry strategies to avoid hitting limits. Contact support if you anticipate higher volumes.
Visit the GHL developer documentation, the Discourse app connector guides, and our Rankr knowledge base for setup steps, authentication tips, and sample payloads. Reach out to support for specific integration questions.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
