Authenticate the GHL API with Act-On using API keys or OAuth to ensure secure access and proper permissions.
Configure Act-On to accept connections from GHL by enabling required permissions and running a test request.
Endpoint examples include Contacts, Pipelines, Deals, Notes, Tasks, Activities, Custom Fields, Tags, and Webhooks for data exchange between GHL and Act-On.

Method Path: POST to the GHL contacts endpoint
Key Fields: email, firstName, lastName, phone, leadSource
Triggered when Act-On triggers a campaign; sync campaign data to GHL.
Actions: Update contact fields, enroll in GHL campaign, log activity
Method Path: POST to campaigns enrollment endpoint

Definition: A URL path for the GHL API that enables data exchange.
Definition: An event in the integration that starts a workflow or action.
Description: Create adaptive outreach templates that tailor messaging based on lead score and activity.
Description: Route high-intent leads to Act-On campaigns and sync status back to GHL.
Description: Consolidate metrics from GHL and Act-On for unified dashboards and reporting.
Description: Obtain API keys or set up OAuth between GHL and Act-On.
Description: Register endpoint URLs in both systems and test connectivity with a sample payload.
Description: Run end-to-end tests and monitor logs before going live.
No coding is required for the standard GHL to Act-On connection via the Zapier App Connector. You can map fields and set up triggers and actions with a few clicks. For more advanced flows, use conditional logic and multi-step actions within Zapier.
You can sync basic contact data, campaigns, and engagement events between GHL and Act-On. Custom fields and tags can also be mapped to ensure consistent records across platforms.
Security is handled via API keys or OAuth with strict scopes. All data in transit is protected with TLS, and you can audit access through the app connector.
Yes. You can trigger Act-On campaigns from GHL events and enroll contacts in Act-On lists or sequences. Bidirectional sync ensures updates flow both ways.
Use built in test buttons or run a small payload to verify connectivity. Check logs in both systems for errors and watch for successful response codes.
API rate limits apply. If you hit limits, optimize by batching requests and using webhooks where possible to reduce polling.
Most setups complete in 15–60 minutes depending on data complexity and number of endpoints. Having ready API keys and mapped fields speeds up the process.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
