Authenticate requests to GHL using your API key and secret. Include the API key in request headers and follow the recommended security practices when handling credentials.
Connect ActiveCampaign Postmark by using the app’s provided credentials and setting up secure webhooks and signature verification for inbound and outbound requests.
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
Trigger: When a Custom Object is created or updated in GHL, push the changes to ActiveCampaign Postmark to update related contacts and campaigns.
Actions: create, update, or delete object records in GHL and mirror the changes in ActiveCampaign Postmark by updating contact fields and tags.
Method path: primarily use GET for reads and POST/PUT for writes, for example GET /objects/:key and POST /objects/:schemaKey/records to create.
Key fields: align the object key (external_id) with a unique ActiveCampaign field (like external_id) for reliable mapping.
Trigger: updates in ActiveCampaign Postmark pull latest object data to enrich contact records in real time.
Actions: read object data from GHL and write to ActiveCampaign contact fields, ensuring data parity across systems.
Method path: use GET /objects/:key for lookups and GET /objects/:schemaKey/records/:id for direct enrichment.
Key fields: use email or external_id as the linkage key between GHL objects and ActiveCampaign contacts.
Trigger: changes to objects trigger automations in ActiveCampaign Postmark to perform follow-ups and updates.
Actions: run automations, update statuses, and log events in Postmark based on object changes.
Method path: update and delete endpoints (PUT, DELETE) support lifecycle management of records.
Key fields: map primary keys to a stable identifier in ActiveCampaign for traceability.
No-code integration enables powerful data flows without writing code.
Fast setup: leverage existing endpoints and webhooks to link data across apps quickly.
Scalability: handle growing object data and contact records with reliable synchronization.
Key elements include objects, schemas, records, authentication, endpoints, triggers, webhooks, and the data-mapping processes that connect them.
A defined collection of fields in GHL’s Custom Objects API that represents a data type.
A single instance of a Custom Object, stored with field values.
The blueprint for a Custom Object, detailing fields and data types.
A URL that receives real-time notifications when data changes in GHL.
Use object data to tailor emails and Postmark events based on user behavior and lifecycle stage.
Synchronize object fields into contact profiles to enable advanced segmentation and targeting.
Set up automated audits to ensure data consistency between GHL objects and ActiveCampaign Postmark.
Collect API keys and permissions from both GHL and ActiveCampaign Postmark and store securely.
Create object schemas in GHL and map fields to ActiveCampaign contact attributes.
Design automations and run end-to-end tests to verify data sync and error handling.
Authentication is handled using an API key for GHL and a secure token for ActiveCampaign Postmark. Include the API key in request headers and rotate credentials regularly. In some setups, OAuth is used for user-scoped permissions to limit access. Always follow the security guidelines provided by both apps and store keys securely. Check your dashboard for where to generate and manage keys.
Endpoints for reading and writing objects include GET /objects/:key, GET /objects, POST /objects/:schemaKey/records, PUT /objects/:schemaKey/records/:id, and DELETE /objects/:schemaKey/records/:id. Use GET for retrievals and POST/PUT for creating or updating records. Ensure you understand your object schema and the required fields.
Yes, you can create no-code connections using visual builders and webhooks. You can map fields between GHL objects and ActiveCampaign contact fields and trigger automations without custom code. If you need more control, you can extend with API calls.
Mapping is done by aligning each GHL object field with the corresponding ActiveCampaign field. Use external_id or email as linkage keys. Maintain a data dictionary to track mandatory fields and data types.
Rate limits vary by plan; monitor your quota in the API dashboards. Implement retries with backoff and consider batching requests where possible. Optimize calls by using minimal payloads.
Webhooks deliver real-time notifications when data changes. Configure your endpoint to verify signatures, handle retries, and securely process payloads. Use webhooks to trigger updates in ActiveCampaign Postmark and GHL.
Example requests are available in your developer portal. Start with simple GET requests to fetch objects, then test POST for creating records. Review response schemas and error messages to troubleshoot.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
