Authenticate with your GHL API key and the required scopes, such as locations/customValues and locations/customFields, to read and modify data using the Custom Fields API.
Ensure ABC GymSales has permission to access the Custom Fields API endpoints and that the API key is scoped for the locations and fields resources used here.
Key endpoints include: GET /locations/:locationId/customValues, GET /locations/:locationId/customValues/:id, POST /locations/:locationId/customValues, PUT /locations/:locationId/customValues/:id, DELETE /locations/:locationId/customValues/:id, GET /locations/:locationId/customFields, GET /locations/:locationId/customFields/:id, POST /locations/:locationId/customFields, PUT /locations/:locationId/customFields/:id, DELETE /locations/:locationId/customFields/:id, GET /custom-fields/:id, GET /custom-field/object-key/:key, GET /locations/:locationId/tags, GET /locations/customFields.readonly, GET /locations/:locationId/customFields.readonly
Trigger when a location is updated in ABC GymSales to sync its custom values to GHL via endpoints 1 and 2.
Actions include reading, creating, updating and deleting location custom values with endpoints 1, 2, 4 and 5 as needed.
Method: REST API calls using locationId in the URL path and the appropriate HTTP method.
Key fields include locationId, customValue id, and the value payload key.
Trigger to detect new or updated custom fields in GHL and map them to ABC GymSales location fields.
Actions include fetching field definitions, creating or updating fields, and aligning mappings between systems.
Method: GET for field lists and POST/PUT for field definitions and mappings.
Key fields include customFields.id, locationId and fieldKey.
Trigger to automate data flows across multiple endpoints for ABC GymSales.
Method: orchestrate a sequence of REST calls across endpoints to keep custom values and fields in sync.
Key fields include endpoint sequence IDs, field mappings and sync status indicators.
No code setup lets ABC GymSales teams map fields using a friendly UI without developers.
Low maintenance with auto syncing and minimal code changes over time.
Scales to many locations quickly without heavy development effort.
Core elements include endpoints, authentication, field objects, location context, triggers and the data flow between ABC GymSales and GHL.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to perform an action in GHL or ABC GymSales.
Proof of identity and permission to access GHL resources, typically via an API key or OAuth token.
A data field attached to a location for storing additional details about a member or location.
A site within GHL where customers are tracked and managed, often by location in ABC GymSales.
Idea: create member plans with dynamic fields such as membership tier or last visit date within GHL and surface them in ABC GymSales.
Idea: automatically update a member status when a relevant field in GHL changes, then reflect it in ABC GymSales.
Idea: aggregate custom values into location dashboards for performance insights across ABC GymSales locations.
Step 1: generate a GHL API key with the required scopes for locations and custom values.
Step 2: map ABC GymSales fields to GHL custom values and configure endpoint usage.
Step 3: run tests with a sample location, verify data flow, and enable automation.
Endpoints cover reading and writing location custom values and fields. You can fetch existing data with GET endpoints and update or create new values with POST or PUT requests. Use DELETE to remove items as needed. Start with endpoints 1 and 7 for a basic data pull and then expand as required. Always refer to the live API docs for the exact payload formats.
Auth is performed with a GHL API key and required scopes. Generate a key in the GHL dashboard, ensure it has access to locations and customValues as well as customFields. Include the key in request headers and refresh it regularly.
No extensive coding is required for basic reads and writes via endpoints. You can use no code tools like Zapier or a simple HTTP request block to interact with the API. For complex mappings, you may code small automation, but it is not mandatory.
Yes, you can map multiple locations by iterating over location IDs and applying the same field mappings. Use batch requests if supported or implement a loop in your automation.
Test the integration against a staging location, review API responses, and monitor logs. Validate data mappings and ensure error handling and retries are in place.
Implement robust error handling, retry logic, and clear failure messages. Log API response codes and ensure your system gracefully handles rate limits and invalid data.
Endpoint documentation is available in the GHL developer docs. You can search for Custom Values and Custom Fields endpoints to learn payload structures and required fields.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
