Authenticate with the Custom Fields API using your API key or OAuth credentials, ensuring the correct scopes (locations/customValues.readonly and related endpoints) are granted for read and write access.
Authenticate Accelo requests with a secure token or OAuth flow and store credentials securely, rotating keys regularly.
Key endpoints you may use include: GET /locations/:locationId/customValues, GET /locations/:locationId/customValues/:id, POST /locations/:locationId/customValues, PUT /locations/:locationId/customValues/:id, DELETE /locations/:locationId/customValues; GET /locations/:locationId/customFields, GET /locations/:locationId/customFields/:id, POST /locations/:locationId/customFields, PUT /locations/:locationId/customFields/:id, DELETE /locations/:locationId/customFields; GET /custom-fields/:id, GET /custom-field/object-key/:key, GET /locations/:locationId/tags.
Trigger: when a custom value is created or updated in Accelo, push changes to the GHL Custom Values store.
Actions: create or update customValues in Accelo from GHL, and pull updated values back into GHL as needed.
Recommended methods: POST /locations/:locationId/customValues to create, PUT /locations/:locationId/customValues/:id to update, GET /locations/:locationId/customValues to read, plus GET /locations/:locationId/customFields for field context.
Key fields: locationId, id, key, value, updatedAt
Trigger: new or updated customFields in Accelo should mirror in GHL and vice versa.
Actions: sync customFields between systems; create and update field definitions and values as needed.
Methods: GET /locations/:locationId/customFields, POST /locations/:locationId/customFields, PUT /locations/:locationId/customFields/:id, GET /custom-fields/:id
Key fields: locationId, id, fieldKey, label, type
Trigger: tag changes in Accelo propagate to GHL tags, enabling segmentation in workflows.
Actions: update GHL tags and Accelo tags in both directions; map tags to contact or location records.
Methods: GET /locations/:locationId/tags, POST /locations/:locationId/tags, DELETE /locations/:locationId/tags, GET /locations/:locationId/tags
Key fields: locationId, tagId, tagName
Point-and-click mapping lets admins align fields without writing code, speeding up deployment.
Visual workflows and triggers automate data movement between GHL and Accelo.
Real-time synchronization keeps client, project, and field data consistent across systems.
This glossary explains the key terms and processes used in this guide, helping you understand how the GHL Custom Fields API connects with Accelo.
A specific URL path you call with an HTTP method to perform an action on the API, such as retrieving or updating data.
The process of verifying identity and permissions to access the API, typically via API keys or OAuth tokens.
A method for receiving real-time updates from a service by sending payloads to a configured URL when events occur.
A data object exposed by the API, such as a customValue, customField, or tag.
Create a one-click flow that populates Accelo client records using new customValues captured in GHL, reducing manual data entry.
Use prebuilt mappings between GHL customFields and Accelo fields to accelerate setup and ensure consistency.
Push changes from GHL to Accelo as soon as a field is updated, keeping teams in sync.
Generate and securely store credentials for both systems and verify proper scopes before testing.
Use the UI to align GHL customValues and customFields with Accelo fields and IDs.
Run test syncs, check logs, and enable automated triggers for ongoing updates.
No code is required to start. Use the visual interface to connect GHL and Accelo, map fields, and configure triggers. The platform provides templates you can adapt to your data model. If you need more advanced behavior, you can still add custom mappings later.
Essential endpoints typically include endpoints to read and write customValues and customFields, as well as endpoints to fetch field definitions and tags. Use GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE as needed to keep values in sync.
Authentication is done via API keys or OAuth tokens. Store credentials securely and apply the necessary scopes for read and write operations. Rotate keys on a regular schedule.
Yes. Prebuilt field mappings and templates let you set up bulk mappings quickly. You can customize them later to fit your data schema.
Real-time sync can be near-instant, depending on your configuration and network latency. Webhooks or polling ensure updates flow in near real time.
Yes, there are rate limits. Plan for them when scheduling batch syncs and use efficient querying to minimize calls.
If a sync fails, check API error messages, logs, and retry policies. Most platforms provide error codes and timestamps to diagnose issues.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
