Frequently Asked Questions

What authentication is required for the GHL Custom Objects API?

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.
