This glossary defines common terms used when integrating the GHL Contacts API with Payhip, helping you map endpoints to actions in your automations.
An Application Programming Interface that enables Payhip and GHL to communicate and exchange data securely.
A specific URL path used to retrieve, create, update, or delete data in the API.
A piece of data such as email, firstName, or planName that is sent in an API request.
Security credentials (like OAuth tokens or API keys) used to authenticate API requests.
Automatically create a GHL contact and welcome task when a new Payhip customer signs up.
Capture order details as notes and tag customers by plan to tailor follow-up campaigns.
Use tags and custom fields to segment Payhip customers in GHL for targeted marketing.
Obtain credentials or OAuth tokens and authorize access for both Payhip and GHL.
Link Payhip fields to GHL contact fields such as email, name, and plan.
Run integration tests, verify data integrity, and enable automation with monitoring.
Yes. A developer account or API access is typically needed to configure the connectors and map data between Payhip and GHL. This ensures secure authentication and proper scoping of permissions. You’ll set up OAuth credentials or API keys to authorize the integration and begin sending data across systems. In addition, you can leverage built-in templates or low-code builders to customize how Payhip events translate into GHL actions without writing code.
Payhip events like sign-ups, purchases, or plan upgrades can trigger workflows in GHL. For example, a new signup can create a contact and a welcome task, while a completed order can log notes or update contact tags. You can also schedule routine checks to refresh data and keep records aligned across platforms. These triggers help you automate outreach, nurturing, and customer success activities based on Payhip activity.
Yes. The integration supports updating existing GHL contacts when Payhip events indicate changes (e.g., new email or plan). You can configure upserts so that Payhip data updates reflect in GHL without duplicate records. This keeps CRM data accurate and reduces manual edits. Be mindful of key fields (like email) used to map and deduplicate contacts during sync.
Typical permissions include read access to contacts data and write access to create or update contacts, tasks, and notes. Scope is defined by the API integration configuration (for example, contacts.readonly for reading data only). Ensure you grant the minimum required permissions to maintain security while enabling automation. Always follow your organization’s security policies when handling API keys or OAuth tokens.
Common errors include authentication failures, permission scope mismatches, and invalid field mappings. Check your tokens, verify scopes (such as contacts.readonly), and confirm that field names align between Payhip and GHL. Use the API error messages to adjust endpoints or payload structures. Enable logging and notifications so issues trigger alerts for rapid troubleshooting.
Yes. While this guide focuses on Payhip, the GHL Contacts API can connect with other apps that expose compatible endpoints and authentication flows. You may need to adjust field mappings and event triggers for each new app, but the general approach—authorize, map fields, and define triggers—remains the same. For multi-app automation, create a centralized data model in GHL to unify records across sources.
