Authenticate using your GHL API credentials. Use OAuth 2.0 where available or an API key, and securely store tokens in Zapier connections to enable API calls.
In Zapier, connect the GHL app and authorize access to your GHL workspace. This establishes a secure OAuth or token-based linkage for subsequent calls.
