Authenticate using your GHL credentials. Create an API key or OAuth client in GHL and grant the required scope, such as contacts.readonly. Store tokens securely and rotate them regularly.
In Postalytics, configure the connection by supplying your GHL API credentials and selecting the Contacts API scope. Use a secure secrets vault and test the connection with a sample call.

Automate data sync without writing code.
Keep tasks, notes, and campaigns aligned across systems.
Improve campaign timing with real-time data.
Key elements and processes described here include API, OAuth 2.0, endpoints, and webhooks as they relate to connecting GHL with Postalytics.
An API is a set of endpoints that lets Postalytics read and write data in GHL.
A webhook is a real-time push from GHL to Postalytics when events occur, enabling automatic data updates.
OAuth 2.0 is a standard for granting access without sharing passwords, used to obtain access tokens.
An endpoint is a specific URL in the API that performs an action or returns data.
Trigger a welcome series in Postalytics when a new contact is added in GHL.
Create Postalytics tasks from GHL events to ensure timely follow-ups.
Sync segmentation fields to tailor campaigns in Postalytics.
In GHL, create an API key or OAuth client and copy the credentials securely.
Assign the correct scope (e.g., contacts.readonly) and verify permissions for read and write operations.
Enter the credentials in Postalytics, establish the connection, and run a test sync with a sample contact.
The GHL Contacts API is a programmatic interface that lets you read and update contact data, tasks, notes, and more from Postalytics. It provides structured endpoints to access and manipulate contact records.
Yes. You can often set up many integrations without hand-coding by using API keys or OAuth connections and webhook listeners. Some basic understanding of endpoints and authentication helps, but many connectors are designed for no-code use.
Security features include token-based authentication, scoped permissions, and encrypted data transmission. Credentials should be stored securely and rotated regularly to minimize risk.
A broad set of endpoints is available for reading and writing contacts, tasks, notes, and more, including GET /contacts/:contactId and POST /contacts/. Start with core read/write endpoints and expand as needed.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
