Authenticate to the GHL Custom Objects API using OAuth 2.0, requesting the scope objects/schema.readonly to read and manage object data securely.
Configure the Zapier App Connector with OAuth 2.0 or token-based authentication to securely access GHL endpoints and trigger automated actions.
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. (Additional endpoints are available in the API reference.)
Trigger workflows when new object records are created or existing ones are updated in GHL.
Actions can create, update, or delete object records from Zapier, ensuring data stays in sync.
Common methods include POST /objects/:schemaKey/records and PUT /objects/:schemaKey/records/:id for mutations.
Key fields include the object key and schemaKey, plus record IDs used to map data.
Real-time triggers help keep downstream systems up to date by listening for changes.
Use GET /objects and GET /objects/:key to fetch data as needed for updates.
Read endpoints such as GET /objects and GET /objects/:key are used for syncing data.
Key fields include key, schemaKey, and record identifiers used in mapping.
Set up conditional triggers to automate actions across apps when object changes occur.
Define actions in Zapier to create, update, or delete related records in connected apps.
Mutations use POST, PUT, or DELETE requests to specific endpoints.
Ensure unique identifiers map between systems to avoid duplicates.
Create powerful automations without writing code through a visual workflow builder.
Speed up deployment with ready-made endpoints and connectors.
Maintain data consistency across apps with centralized object management.
Key terms and processes you’ll encounter when integrating the GHL Custom Objects API with Zapier include authentication, endpoints, schemas, records, and triggers.
The REST API provided by GHL for programmatic access to accounts, objects, and other resources.
A custom data structure in GHL representing a set of fields and its records.
A single row of data within an object, identified by a unique ID.
The blueprint for a custom object defining its fields and data types.
Sync object records to your inventory or ERP when stock levels change.
Create or update support tickets in your help desk based on GHL object changes.
Enrich CRM records by pulling related object data for more context.
Authenticate to both GHL and the Zapier App Connector to start data flow.
Select GET and POST endpoints to read and write object data as needed.
Run tests, verify data synchronization, and deploy your automations.
Authentication uses OAuth 2.0. You should create a GHL API app and request the scope objects/schema.readonly to access object data securely. Include the access token in the Authorization header when making requests. Tokens expire and should be refreshed using the refresh token flow to maintain uninterrupted access.
For basic operations, focus on GET /objects/:key to read a specific object, GET /objects to list objects, and POST /objects/:schemaKey/records to create new records. Use GET /objects/:schemaKey/records/:id to retrieve a single record, PUT /objects/:schemaKey/records/:id to update, and DELETE /objects/:schemaKey/records/:id to remove a record. These cover core read/write tasks and can be extended as needed.
Rating limits depend on your GHL plan and API token scope. If you hit limits, try pacing requests, batching when possible, and leveraging webhooks or delayed retries in Zapier to respect rate constraints. Proper error handling with exponential backoff helps maintain reliability.
Yes. Zapier can map GHL object fields to Zapier fields in your Zaps. Use field mapping in the Zap editor to connect object attributes to downstream app fields, enabling seamless data flow without code.
Handle errors by implementing retries with backoff, validating responses, and logging failures. Use Zapier’s built-in error handling and, where possible, implement idempotent operations to avoid duplicates. Always check API error messages for guidance.
No heavy coding is required. The integration is designed to be configured via a no-code Zapier workflow, using standard endpoints, authentication, and field mappings. Some advanced cases may benefit from lightweight scripting or custom filters within Zapier.
Endpoint documentation is available in the GHL API reference. It details authentication, available endpoints, rate limits, and example requests. You can also consult the Zapier app documentation for connector-specific guidance.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
