Use your GHL credentials to authorize requests to the Custom Fields API. This typically involves an API key or OAuth token. Store credentials securely and rotate keys regularly.
Acumbamail uses its own API keys or OAuth tokens for access. Keep credentials secret and grant only the permissions needed for this integration.
1) GET /locations/:locationId/customValues reads custom values for a location; 2) GET /locations/:locationId/customValues/:id reads a specific custom value by id; 3) locations/customValues.write provides write access to custom values; 4) POST /locations/:locationId/customValues creates a new custom value; 5) PUT /locations/:locationId/customValues/:id updates a custom value; 6) DELETE /locations/:locationId/customValues/:id deletes a custom value; 7) locations/customFields.readonly reads custom fields; 8) GET /locations/:locationId/customFields lists custom fields for a location; 9) GET /locations/:locationId/customFields/:id reads a specific custom field; 10) GET /custom-fields/:id reads a field by id; 11) GET /custom-field/object-key/:key looks up a field by key; 12) locations/customFields.write provides write access to custom fields; 13) POST /locations/:locationId/customFields creates a new custom field; 14) PUT /locations/:locationId/customFields/:id updates a custom field; 15) DELETE /locations/:locationId/customFields/:id deletes a custom field; 16) locations/tags.readonly reads tags; 17) GET /locations/:locationId/tags lists tags for a location.
Trigger: when a custom value is created or updated in GHL, push the change to Acumbamail via API.
Actions: update or create a contact in Acumbamail, map the value to a contact field, and log the activity.
Key API paths include GET and POST endpoints for customValues and customFields, and PUT/DELETE for updates.
Key fields: locationId, id, value, fieldKey
Trigger: after mapping, segment or tag Acumbamail contacts based on field values.
Actions: populate Acumbamail fields, apply tags, and trigger campaign workflows.
Endpoints to fetch fields and create/update field data in both systems.
Key fields: locationId, fieldKey, value, id
Trigger: if a sync fails, retry with backoff and notify your team.
Actions: log errors, retry once, and escalate when repeated failures occur.
Retry logic applies to endpoints GET, POST, PUT and DELETE as applicable.
Key fields: errorCode, retryCount, lastAttemptTime
No-code automation lets non-developers set up data flows quickly.
Real-time data synchronization keeps campaigns accurate across platforms.
Centralized dashboards provide a clear view of field-driven engagement across GHL and Acumbamail.
Key terms and how they map to the integration processes are defined below to keep the flow clear.
An Application Programming Interface that allows systems to communicate and share data.
A specific URL that exposes an API function, such as reading or writing a value.
Methods used to verify identity, such as API keys or OAuth tokens, for secure access.
A mechanism for receiving real-time updates by sending HTTP requests to a configured URL.
Set up a workflow to enrich Acumbamail contacts when a GHL location custom value changes.
Map specific fields to campaign criteria in Acumbamail to personalize messages.
Schedule periodic cleanups to keep field data consistent across systems.
Obtain API keys for both systems and store them securely.
Map GHL custom values to corresponding Acumbamail fields so data flows correctly.
Run test syncs, check logs, and set up alerts for issues.
The Custom Fields API lets you access and update location level fields and values in GHL. Use the endpoints to read and write custom values and fields as part of your automation workflows. This API is designed to be consumed by tools like Acumbamail to keep data aligned across platforms. No coding is required if you leverage the no-code adapters and automation builders in your stack; however, having a basic understanding of HTTP requests helps you troubleshoot.
You can set up most connections with no code using workflow automations and API connectors. If you need custom logic, small scripts can be added, but the core flows are fully runnable with built-in actions.
You will typically use endpoints for reading and updating custom values and fields. Start with GET /locations/:locationId/customValues and GET /locations/:locationId/customFields to discover existing data, then use POST, PUT, and DELETE to update as needed. For security, verify permissions and test in a sandbox before going live.
Map the GHL field keys to the matching Acumbamail fields. Use the endpoint list to pull available fields and then create a mapping matrix. Validate with test data. Document mappings and review them during campaigns to avoid mismatches.
Real-time availability depends on how you trigger the workflow. Some events propagate instantly; others are batched or scheduled. Set appropriate webhooks or polling to ensure timely updates and monitor retries.
Supported authentication methods include API keys and OAuth tokens for secure access. Rotate keys regularly and apply least-privilege access. Keep credentials in a secure vault and use scoped permissions for automation tasks.
Yes. We provide examples of requests and responses for the most common endpoints, including auth, reading and writing custom values and fields. Use these samples to validate your integration and adapt them to your environment.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
