Generate an API key with the objects/schema.readonly scope to read object schemas and records from GHL, then store it securely and rotate credentials regularly.
Ablefy uses secure OAuth 2.0 for access to GHL. Use your app credentials to authorize requests to the Custom Objects API and grant appropriate permissions.
Endpoints covered include GET /objects/:key, GET /objects, objects/schema.write, objects/record.readonly, GET /objects/:schemaKey/records/:id, objects/record.write, POST /objects/:schemaKey/records, PUT /objects/:schemaKey/records/:id, DELETE /objects/:schemaKey/records/:id. Use as needed for your workflows.
Trigger a sync whenever an object key changes in GHL to update ablefy in real time.
Actions include fetch by key, map fields, validate data, and write updates to ablefy.
GET /objects/:key
Key fields: id and key for object matching
Trigger when building dashboards to list objects and their records for analysis.
Actions include listing objects, pulling multiple records, and aggregating data for dashboards.
GET /objects
Key fields: schemaKey and id
Trigger when ablefy creates or updates a record to sync with GHL.
Actions include POST /objects/:schemaKey/records and PUT /objects/:schemaKey/records/:id with response handling.
POST /objects/:schemaKey/records; PUT /objects/:schemaKey/records/:id
Key fields: schemaKey, id
Automate data synchronization between GHL and ablefy without writing code.
Speed up workflows with real-time updates and reduced manual data entry.
Consolidate object data in one place to power automated campaigns and reporting.
This glossary covers core concepts like GHL API, Custom Objects API, schemas, and records, plus how they relate in the ablefy integration.
The GHL API is the REST interface used to read and write data in GHL by accessing endpoints for objects, schemas, and records.
A schema defines the structure and fields of a custom object within GHL.
A record is a single instance of a custom object containing field values.
An API endpoint is a URL you call to perform actions on GHL data, such as retrieving or updating objects.
Use GET /objects/:key to pull data and surface it in ablefy dashboards for quick insights.
Capture form submissions in ablefy and POST to /objects/:schemaKey/records to create new GHL objects.
Set up workflows to archive or delete old records using DELETE or PUT operations where appropriate.
Obtain a GHL API key with the objects/schema.readonly scope and securely store it in ablefy.
Map GHL endpoints to ablefy data structures and define field mappings; test the connection.
Create automated workflows in ablefy that respond to object events and monitor sync status.
The GHL Custom Objects API provides programmatic access to your GHL custom objects. Through endpoints like GET /objects/:key and GET /objects, you can read object data and schemas from GHL and bring it into ablefy for reporting and automation. This page guides you through authentication, endpoint usage, and mapping to ablefy data structures.
Authentication is handled via a GHL API key with appropriate scopes and ablefy’s OAuth flow. Generate a key with objects/schema.readonly for read access or add objects/record.write for write access, then securely store and rotate credentials. For user-friendly setups, ablefy supports OAuth 2.0 so your app can obtain and refresh tokens without sharing keys.
Essential endpoints include GET /objects/:key to fetch a specific object, GET /objects for listing objects, and POST /objects/:schemaKey/records or PUT /objects/:schemaKey/records/:id for creating and updating records. Use objects/schema.write when you need to modify schemas. Test endpoints with sample data to verify mappings.
Yes. You can create new object records by POSTing to /objects/:schemaKey/records and update existing ones with PUT /objects/:schemaKey/records/:id. Build your ablefy workflow to trigger these calls as part of automation rules.
To test the connection, use a test API key or a connected OAuth token and run sample calls from ablefy’s test tool or a REST client. Verify responses, mappings, and error handling; monitor logs for failures.
Best practices for mapping include aligning field types, handling nulls, and using consistent key fields. Create a data dictionary, map GHL object fields to ablefy fields, and test end-to-end with sample records.
Check the official GHL API documentation for endpoint details, versions, and examples. You can also review ablefy templates and sample mappings to learn common patterns and optimization tips.
