Authenticate each request with your GHL API key or OAuth token. Keep credentials secure, rotate keys regularly, and follow the Scope: objects/schema.readonly to ensure proper access during integration with AccessAlly.
Connect AccessAlly to the GHL Custom Objects API by exchanging tokens or using a service account. Ensure the app has appropriate permissions and that credentials are stored securely within your environment.
GET /objects/:key — retrieve a single object by key; GET /objects — list objects; objects/schema.write — create or update a schema; objects/record.readonly — read access to records; GET /objects/:schemaKey/records/:id — retrieve a specific record; objects/record.write — write access to records; POST /objects/:schemaKey/records — create a record; PUT /objects/:schemaKey/records/:id — update a record; DELETE /objects/:schemaKey/records/:id — delete a record. Additional endpoints may be documented as you expand the integration.
Trigger: You need to display or validate a specific object tied to a contact.
Actions: Use GET /objects/:key, map fields to AccessAlly member fields, and store object data in a dedicated member field.
GET /objects/:key
key, mapped object fields such as name, status, custom_fields
Trigger: When a user accesses a related records view and needs to populate a list.
Actions: GET /objects, iterate over records, and create or update corresponding AccessAlly records.
GET /objects
schemaKey, id, object fields
Trigger: When a form in AccessAlly submits object data.
Actions: Use POST /objects/:schemaKey/records or PUT /objects/:schemaKey/records/:id to upsert data.
POST /objects/:schemaKey/records OR PUT /objects/:schemaKey/records/:id
schemaKey, record payload fields
No-code data sync between systems: configure endpoints and mappings without writing code.
Faster onboarding and automation: reduce manual data entry and human error.
Centralized object data in AccessAlly, leveraging GHL’s object model for rich member experiences.
This glossary covers the core elements and processes used to connect GHL’s Custom Objects API with AccessAlly, including API, endpoints, schemas, and records.
Application Programming Interface: a set of rules that lets software components communicate.
A specific URL path and HTTP method that performs an action in an API.
Defines the structure and data types for a collection of objects and their fields.
A single data entry within an object schema.
Pull object properties into AccessAlly member profiles to personalize content and routing.
Aggregate object data across records to drive analytics in AccessAlly dashboards.
Set up triggers to sync object records when events occur in AccessAlly, enabling seamless automation.
Obtain API credentials from GHL and grant AccessAlly access to read and write objects.
Map AccessAlly fields to object fields and configure endpoint usage in your automation tools or direct API calls.
Run tests, verify data flow, and push to production with monitoring.
The Custom Objects API is part of GHL’s API ecosystem that enables programmatic access to object schemas and records. It lets you read, create, update, and delete objects and their records so you can sync data with AccessAlly. This makes member data more actionable and dynamic. You can leverage read-only schema access to explore available fields before enabling writes.
Yes, you can implement many integrations with a no-code approach by using automation tools or Zapier to connect AccessAlly with the Custom Objects API. For more advanced flows, small scripts or serverless functions can be added, but many common tasks can be accomplished with point-and-click mappings.
Start with read endpoints to understand the data shape: GET /objects/:key and GET /objects. Then, if you need to populate AccessAlly profiles, use the write endpoints like POST /objects/:schemaKey/records or PUT /objects/:schemaKey/records/:id. Always test against a staging environment first.
Authentication is typically handled via an API key or OAuth token. Treat credentials as secrets, rotate keys regularly, and scope permissions to objects/schema.readonly during exploration. In AccessAlly workflows, reference tokens securely and renew them before they expire.
Yes. You can create or update GHL object records from AccessAlly using POST or PUT requests. This enables bidirectional data flow and keeps member data in sync across systems. Always validate payloads against your object schemas to avoid errors.
Rate limits apply to API calls. Plan your synchronization tasks with batching, respect pagination, and implement retry logic with exponential backoff. If you anticipate high volume, consider scheduling flows during off-peak times.
API documentation for the GHL Custom Objects API is accessible in your developer portal. It includes endpoint definitions, authentication instructions, and schema details. Review the docs to understand required fields and payload formats before building integrations.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
