Authenticate the GHL API by generating an API key in your GHL account and securely storing it in ABC Trainerize. Use the recommended OAuth flow where supported, and rotate credentials regularly to maintain security.
ABC Trainerize connects to GHL using API keys or OAuth tokens. Ensure the app has read/write permissions for contacts, programs, and appointments, and restrict access to trusted users.
Key endpoints include: POST /contacts (create/update contact), POST /workouts (sync workouts), POST /programs (sync programs), POST /appointments (schedule events), GET /contacts (fetch contact data), GET /appointments (retrieve events).
Trigger: When a new client is added in ABC Trainerize, push the contact to GHL.
Actions: Create or update the contact in GHL, attach notes, tag for campaigns.
Method/Path: POST /contacts
Key fields: email, external_id, gym_id
Trigger: A completed workout in ABC Trainerize updates GHL program progress.
Actions: Create or update program, log progress, sync status and completed sets.
Method/Path: POST /workouts or POST /programs
Key fields: client_id, program_id, session_date
Trigger: Booking in ABC Trainerize creates or updates a GHL calendar event.
Actions: Create/update calendar event, send reminders, attach notes.
Method/Path: POST /appointments
Key fields: attendee_email, appointment_time, location
Benefit: Quick setup with drag-and-drop automations
Benefit: Real-time data sync reduces manual data entry
Benefit: Scalable workflows across apps without writing code
This glossary covers core terms and processes used when connecting ABC Trainerize to the GHL API, helping you navigate data flows and authentication.
A set of rules that lets one software program interact with another.
A secure framework for authorizing access to an API without sharing credentials.
Event-driven messages sent to a URL when something happens in an app.
A specific URL that performs an action or returns data in an API.
Automatically create a client profile in GHL when a new client signs up in ABC Trainerize, with welcome tasks pre-loaded.
Sync workout history, goals, and appointments into a single GHL profile to view progress in one place.
Schedule automated reminders and progress reports to clients via GHL channels from ABC Trainerize data.
Create or locate your GHL API key, and ensure ABC Trainerize has access to the necessary scopes.
Set read/write permissions for contacts, programs, and appointments, and apply security measures.
Run a test sync in a staging environment and verify data accuracy before going live.
Yes. All transport occurs over secure connections with encryption in transit. Use OAuth where supported and rotate keys regularly. ABC Trainerize logs access and limitations to protect data.
No heavy coding is required. The builder in ABC Trainerize with the GHL API connector lets you set up triggers and actions using template blocks. For advanced workflows, consult the developer docs.
You can sync contacts, programs, workouts, and appointments. Depending on your scopes, you can maintain two-way sync and ensure data consistency across systems.
Yes. Use a sandbox or staging environment to test changes. Verify data mapping, triggers, and error handling before going live.
Respect API rate limits by batching requests and using exponential backoff. Monitor quotas in the GHL developer console and optimize triggers accordingly.
Absolutely. Triggers are configurable—choose the event, map fields, and set conditions. You can disable or adjust triggers as your workflows evolve.
API keys are managed in your GHL admin settings. Rotate keys every 90 days and revoke access for unused apps.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
