Authenticate securely between GHL and Action Network using OAuth tokens or API keys. Store credentials safely in your Zapier connection and rotate them periodically.
App to app authentication is performed via tokens that authorize requests to the GHL Documents & Contracts API, with best practice security and minimal permissions.
POST /documents; GET /documents/{id}; GET /documents; POST /documents/{id}/status; GET /templates; POST /webhooks; GET /contacts; POST /contacts
Trigger: a new document is created in Action Network, which starts a matching record in GHL.
Actions: post to GHL documents, update status, attach identifiers for traceability.
POST /documents
Required fields: title, content, status, action_network_id
Trigger: a new or updated Action Network record starts a Zap that updates GHL.
Actions: create or update a GHL document via Zapier, apply metadata and tags.
POST /documents
Key fields: document_id, action_network_id, metadata
Trigger: GHL events push to Action Network when a document is updated.
Actions: post to Action Network webhooks, update GHL as needed.
POST /webhooks/action-network
Fields: endpoint_url, secret, event_type
Automate repetitive tasks without writing code.
Speed up workflows with ready made templates and triggers.
Maintain data accuracy with real time sync across apps.
This section defines core concepts and how the GHL Action Network integration works, including endpoints, authentication, and data flow.
Application Programming Interface; a set of rules that enables apps to communicate and exchange data.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to perform an action in an API.
A real-time data delivery method where one app notifies another when an event occurs.
An open authorization standard used to grant access securely without sharing passwords.
Turn Action Network events into GHL documents automatically with a single Zapier flow.
Push changes from Action Network into GHL workflows to keep data fresh.
Auto-create records and attach receipts or forms from Action Network metadata.
Collect API keys and OAuth tokens for both GHL and Action Network.
Set up endpoints in GHL to call Action Network APIs and create templates.
Run tests, review logs, and set up monitoring alerts.
Yes, you can connect Action Network to the GHL API using the Zapier App Connector. Start by creating a Zap that wires Action Network triggers to GHL actions. This lets you automate document creation and status updates without writing code. Ensure you configure the right permissions and scopes for both apps.
No custom coding is required if you use the Zapier App Connector. You can leverage pre built templates and step by step wizards to map fields between Action Network and GHL. If you need advanced behavior, you can add simple filters and transforms within Zapier.
Key endpoints include POST /documents to create documents, GET /documents to list, and POST /documents/{id}/status to update status. You may also use GET /templates and POST /webhooks to enable event driven updates.
Yes. The Zapier App Connector provides triggers and actions that connect Action Network with GHL without custom code. You can configure webhooks and use templates to accelerate setup.
All data transfers occur over HTTPS with OAuth or API keys. Tokens can be rotated, and you should store credentials securely in your Zapier connection. Limit permissions to the minimum required for the integration.
Use Zapier’s test mode to simulate triggers and actions. Check the response payloads, verify IDs match across systems, and review error logs to fix misconfigurations before going live.
Logs are available in Zapier and in the GHL dashboard. Enable email alerts for failures and review webhook delivery reports to diagnose issues quickly.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
