How to connect 46elks to Custom Objects API via GHL

Seamlessly connect Custom Objects API to 46elks with GHL

How to connect Custom Objects API to 46elks: a practical, step-by-step guide

This guide walks you through authenticating, wiring the key endpoints, and syncing 46elks data with the Custom Objects API using GHL. Learn best practices for secure requests, mapping fields, and validating data during integration.

Authenticate Custom Objects API with GHL

Use a GHL API key with the scope objects/schema.readonly to authorize requests. Include the Bearer token in the Authorization header and restrict access to only the needed endpoints to keep your integration secure.

Authenticate 46elks App

Obtain a 46elks API token with appropriate permissions to create and read object records. Store credentials securely and rotate them regularly for ongoing safety.

API Endpoints for the Custom Objects integration

– GET /objects/:key — retrieve a specific object by key – GET /objects — list all objects – objects/schema.write — update object schema – objects/record.readonly — read object records – GET /objects/:schemaKey/records/:id — fetch a single record – objects/record.write — write new records or update existing ones – POST /objects/:schemaKey/records — create a new record – PUT /objects/:schemaKey/records/:id — update a record – DELETE /objects/:schemaKey/records/:id — delete a record – Endpoint 10–17: Not required for this page; available for advanced use cases as needed

Top 3 ways to connect Custom Objects API to 46elks

Direct GHL API key with object endpoints

Trigger: When a new or updated 46elks object needs to be synced to GHL

Actions: fetch object schema, read records, and push updates to GHL; leverage endpoints GET /objects and GET /objects/:key to drive synchronization

Methods: GET /objects, GET /objects/:key, POST /objects/:schemaKey/records

Key fields: key (object identifier), schemaKey, and record id for precise mapping

Webhook-driven updates from 46elks to GHL

Trigger: 46elks emits a webhook when a relevant object changes

Actions: receive webhook, then call POST /objects/:schemaKey/records or PUT /objects/:schemaKey/records/:id to reflect changes

Methods: POST /objects/:schemaKey/records, PUT /objects/:schemaKey/records/:id

Key fields: schemaKey, id, and payload to map to GHL records

Zapier App Connector as a bridge

Trigger: scheduled or event-based sync between 46elks and GHL

Actions: pull from 46elks, push to GHL; use endpoints such as GET /objects and POST /objects/:schemaKey/records

Methods: GET /objects, GET /objects/:key, POST /objects/:schemaKey/records

Key fields: key, schemaKey, id, and data payload for mapping

No-code benefits of integrating Custom Objects API with 46elks

Automates data flow between GHL and 46elks without writing custom code, reducing maintenance overhead

Centralizes object management in GHL, enabling consistent field mapping and triggers across platforms

Enables real-time or near-real-time updates based on object changes for better operational insights

Key terms and glossary

Glossary of core terms used in GHL integration with the Custom Objects API and 46elks app, including endpoints, schemas, records, and mapping concepts.

API

A set of rules and tools for building software applications. In this page, API refers to the endpoints provided by the GHL Custom Objects API and 46elks app for creating, reading, updating, and deleting records.

Schema

The structure that defines a type of object in the API, including its fields and data types. Schemas underpin how objects are created and queried.

Record

A single instance of an object within a schema, identified by an id and containing field data.

Webhook

A HTTP callback used to notify a system (like GHL) when events occur in another system (like 46elks), enabling real-time data synchronization.

Three creative ideas for using Custom Objects API with 46elks

Real-time object sync with webhooks

Combine 46elks event data with GHL object updates to keep records fresh. Use webhooks to trigger immediate object creation or updates in GHL.

Automated batch imports via scheduled jobs

Schedule regular synchronizations from 46elks into GHL objects to maintain up-to-date data without manual steps.

Event-driven dashboards and alerts

Create dashboards in GHL that visualize 46elks object activity and trigger alerts when thresholds are met.

Three essential steps to connect Custom Objects API with 46elks

Step 1: Gather credentials and set scopes

Obtain a GHL API key with objects/schema.readonly and collect your 46elks API token. Store securely and test in a sandbox environment first.

Step 2: Configure endpoints and field mappings

Map 46elks objects to GHL schemas, decide which fields flow between systems, and configure endpoints such as GET /objects and POST /objects/:schemaKey/records.

Step 3: Validate, monitor, and iterate

Run test calls, verify data integrity, set up error handling and alerts, and refine mappings based on real-world usage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What authentication methods are supported for the GHL Custom Objects API integration?

You can authenticate using a GHL API key with the scope objects/schema.readonly. Include the token in the Authorization header as Bearer . For 46elks, use your API token to access and modify object records. Always limit scopes to what is necessary and keep keys in a secure vault. Regularly rotate credentials and monitor access logs for unusual activity. In development, prefer a sandbox or test environment to validate calls before deploying to production. Ensure your webhook endpoints, if used, are protected with proper verification to prevent unauthorized data changes.

Core endpoints include GET /objects to list objects, GET /objects/:key to fetch a specific object, and POST /objects/:schemaKey/records to create records. For updates, use PUT /objects/:schemaKey/records/:id and for deletions use DELETE /objects/:schemaKey/records/:id. You may also use objects/schema.write to adjust schemas as your data model evolves. The exact endpoints you need depend on your integration flow.

Yes. You can map fields between GHL and 46elks by defining a schema in GHL that corresponds to your 46elks object, then mapping each field (e.g., name, status, timestamp) to a GHL field. This enables bi-directional sync where updates in one system reflect in the other. Use stable field keys and consider data type compatibility to avoid conversion issues.

Rate limits depend on your GHL and 46elks accounts. Plan for burst traffic during initial syncs and implement exponential backoff for retry attempts. Use batch operations where possible and design idempotent calls to prevent duplicate records. Monitor API usage metrics and set alerts to catch anomalies early.

Implement robust error handling by logging API responses, status codes, and error messages. Use retries with backoff for transient errors and capture failures to an alerting channel. Validate response payloads against expected schemas, and implement compensating actions for failed syncs to maintain data integrity.

Yes. A no-code approach can be achieved using Zapier App Connector or similar middleware to orchestrate calls between GHL and 46elks without writing code. You can configure triggers, actions, and data mapping through visual editors, though complex transformations may still require light scripting or a dedicated integration step.

Store credentials using a secure vault, rotate tokens on a schedule, and restrict access by role. Use environment-specific keys for development, staging, and production. Enable IP allowlisting if supported and audit access logs regularly to detect unusual usage.
