Use your GHL API credentials to securely access the Contacts API. API keys or OAuth tokens should be kept secret and rotated regularly.
Authenticate Elastic Email through a secure API key. Use least privilege access and store keys in a safe vault.

No-code setup with Zapier and other automation platforms saves time and reduces manual data entry.
Real-time or near real-time data sync improves campaign relevance and deliverability.
Centralized data health and easier error handling through unified dashboards.
A quick glossary of the elements and processes used in this integration.
A specific URL path and method used to perform an action against an API.
The process of verifying identity before accessing API resources, typically using API keys or OAuth tokens.
An individual record in your CRM or contacts database that is synchronized with Elastic Email for campaigns.
A URL pattern that specifies how to reach a specific API action, including parameters like contactId.
Automatically segment contacts in Elastic Email based on GHL tags and engagement data as it changes in the Contacts API.
Trigger email campaigns whenever a key contact field changes in the Contacts API, ensuring timely relevance.
Run a daily reconciliation that aligns Elastic Email contact data with the source of truth in the Contacts API.
Get your API key for Elastic Email and your GHL API key for the Contacts API.
Set up endpoints to pull and push data between the two systems, and map fields.
Run tests to verify data sync and triggers before going live.
No code options exist through Zapier and other automation platforms. You can connect Elastic Email to the Contacts API using prebuilt actions and triggers. If you prefer coding, you can use the endpoints to implement a custom integration. Our templates cover common data fields and mapping to ensure a smooth sync.
For a basic sync you will use GET /contacts/:contactId to pull data and PUT /contacts/:contactId or POST /contacts/ to push updates. You may also use GET /contacts/ to enumerate.
Authentication is handled via API keys or OAuth tokens for both services. Store securely. Regenerate periodically.
Yes, you can mirror updates from Elastic Email to GHL in near real-time using triggers. Real-time may depend on polling interval.
Test using sandbox accounts or a small subset of contacts, verify data mapping, run test campaigns and inspect logs.
Use scoped API keys, monitor usage, rotate keys regularly, and enforce least privilege.
Check API docs, knowledge base, and our template guides for setup and troubleshooting.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
