Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need coding to connect Robly to GHL?

You can usually connect without custom code using the Robly-GHL app connector, which handles authentication and data mapping for common use cases. If you need specific field mappings or custom workflows, you can extend the setup with additional rules. Review the logs in your dashboard for visibility into data sync events. Tip: start with a small test batch to validate mappings before going live.

The integration uses a GHL API key with the required scope (contacts.readonly) or OAuth for Robly access. Store tokens securely and rotate them periodically. If using OAuth, ensure refresh tokens are kept up to date and that there are no permission changes that would break the connection. For security, limit API key permissions to what is strictly necessary and monitor usage via the dashboard.

Common endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch a single contact, GET /contacts/ to list contacts, and POST /contacts/ to create. For tasks and notes you’ll use POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes. This page enumerates all 17 endpoints you might need depending on your workflow. Start with read-only access to validate mappings, then expand to write endpoints as you confirm data fidelity.

Yes. You can sync notes and appointments by calling the appropriate endpoints and mapping fields to GHL. Depending on your configuration, notes can be stored as notes in GHL and appointments scheduled accordingly. Remember to handle time zones and date formats consistently to avoid misalignment.

Syncs can be real-time or scheduled at intervals you configure. The app connector supports webhooks and polling to fit your workflow. For critical data, choose near-real-time with retries. Always monitor the sync status via the dashboard and set up alerts for failures.

Field mapping is done in the setup screen where you align Robly fields (name, email, phone, notes, etc.) with GHL fields. Use test data to verify mappings and adjust types (string, date, boolean) as needed. If a field is missing on one side, you can create a custom field in GHL or Robly to keep data consistent.

Errors and logs are available in the integration dashboard. Review error messages, retry failed requests, and use the audit trail to pinpoint where mappings or permissions need adjustment. For persistent issues, export logs or contact support with the request IDs.
