Use GHL API key or OAuth to authorize requests to the Custom Objects API endpoints. Keep credentials secure and rotate keys as needed.
Configure OAuth or API key based authentication in the Zapier app settings to securely sign requests to GHL endpoints.
1 GET /objects/:key fetch a single object by key 2 GET /objects list all objects 3 objects/schema.write update or create object schemas 4 objects/record.readonly read only access to object records 5 GET /objects/:schemaKey/records/:id fetch a specific record 6 objects/record.write create or update records 7 POST /objects/:schemaKey/records create new records 8 PUT /objects/:schemaKey/records/:id update a record 9 DELETE /objects/:schemaKey/records/:id delete a record
Trigger the Zap to run on a schedule or on demand to fetch object lists when needed
Actions map object keys to Zap fields and parse object lists into your workflow
Example method path GET /objects and GET /objects/:key
Key fields include key for single objects and schemaKey and id for records
Trigger updates when source data changes or on demand to create or modify records
Actions create new records with POST and update with PUT
Example POST /objects/:schemaKey/records and PUT /objects/:schemaKey/records/:id
Key fields schemaKey and id plus the new record body
Trigger a complete lifecycle management flow for objects and records
Actions orchestrate get, create, update and delete across the workflow
Examples include GET /objects, POST /objects/:schemaKey/records, PUT /objects/:schemaKey/records/:id, DELETE /objects/:schemaKey/records/:id
Key fields include key, schemaKey, id and payload fields
No code data integration across systems without writing code
Rapid automations using a visual workflow builder in Zapier
Scalable object management and simple mapping between schemas and records
Key elements include objects schemas records endpoints authentication and error handling; processes cover field mapping triggering flows and testing
An interface that lets apps read and modify objects and records via the GHL API
Create Read Update and Delete operations for objects and records in the API
The structure that defines an object fields types and relationships in GHL
A specific URL path that performs an action against objects or records in the GHL API
Set up a scheduled Zap to pull object lists and update a master object registry for quick reference
Trigger updates only when key fields change to reduce API calls and keep data fresh
Implement retry logic in Zapier to gracefully recover from transient API errors
Obtain your GHL API key and configure OAuth in the Zapier app to establish a secure connection
Choose the endpoints you need for example GET /objects and POST /objects/:schemaKey/records and map object fields to Zapier fields
Run tests enable live data flow and set up error alerts to monitor the integration
The Custom Objects API lets you read and manage objects and records in GHL. It exposes endpoints for listing objects reading individual objects and records and for creating updating or deleting records as needed. This enables powerful no code automations in Zapier App Connector.
You do not need to code to use these endpoints in many cases. Zapier provides no code actions to map fields and trigger workflows. For more complex transformations you can add lightweight logic within Zapier or use simple code steps if available.
Authentication uses API keys or OAuth depending on the app configuration. Keep credentials secure and rotate keys regularly. Use environment specific credentials when possible.
Read only endpoints include GET /objects and GET /objects/:key. Write operations include POST PUT and DELETE endpoints for creating updating or removing objects or records.
Map fields by aligning GHL object fields to Zapier fields in your Zap setup. Use schema mapping to ensure data types line up and handle nested objects with careful field references.
The GHL API enforces rate limits. Monitor remaining requests from response headers and implement exponential backoff on retries. If limits are hit, slow down request frequency in Zapier.
Test the integration by running a test Zap with sample data. Verify object creation and retrieval, then gradually move to live mode and enable error alerts to catch issues early.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
