To secure the connection, generate an API key or OAuth token for the GHL API and store it safely in your connector settings, then grant Adafruit IO access to the GHL account.
Authenticate Adafruit IO by creating credentials or using a service account, then authorize the app to read from and write to the GHL account.
– Endpoint 1: /v1/sensors/read – Endpoint 2: /v1/sensors/write – Endpoint 3: /v1/alerts – Endpoint 4: /v1/auth/renew – Endpoint 5: /v1/data/export
Trigger: a new Adafruit IO feed value arrives; send immediately to GHL.
Actions: store in GHL collections, trigger workflows, update dashboards.
Endpoint: /v1/realtime/update
Fields: feed_key, value, timestamp
Trigger: every 15 minutes or on a cadence
Actions: upsert records in GHL, generate daily reports
Endpoint: /v1/batch/sync
Fields: batch_id, start_time, end_time, records
Trigger: a threshold breach in Adafruit IO feed
Actions: notify teams, create incident in GHL, log activity
Endpoint: /v1/events/alerts
Fields: event_id, feed, threshold, value, timestamp
Visual builders let you configure workflows without code
Rapid test cycles and quick iterations
Reliable data integration with monitoring and retries
Learn the core elements like endpoints, triggers, actions, and field mappings, plus the processes that move data from Adafruit IO into the GHL system for automation.
A specific URL and HTTP method exposed by the GHL API used to interact with data.
An HTTP callback that notifies your system when an event occurs in Adafruit IO or GHL.
The process of proving identity to establish a secure connection between Adafruit IO and the GHL API.
The specific path portion of a URL that identifies a resource on the GHL API.
Show real-time Adafruit IO data in GHL dashboards with automatic refresh.
Forecast trends and trigger proactive alerts in GHL based on historical Adafruit IO data.
Automate daily/weekly reports by exporting Adafruit IO data to GHL for sharing with stakeholders.
Authorize the Adafruit IO app to access your GHL account securely.
Map Adafruit IO feeds to GHL endpoints and configure field mappings.
Run tests, verify data flow, and deploy automation to production.
Authenticate the GHL API by generating an API key or OAuth token and storing it securely in your connector settings. Avoid exposing credentials and rotate them regularly. Use the GHL permissions model to grant the minimum required access for Adafruit IO actions, and test authentication with a quick API call before enabling automation.
Yes, you can connect multiple Adafruit IO feeds by creating separate endpoints and field mappings for each feed. Use a single GHL API connection with multiple triggers or create distinct connections per feed depending on your security and audit requirements.
No custom code is required for standard data flows; the no-code builder handles mapping and triggers. If you need advanced transformations, you can add small scripts in your automation steps, but it’s optional.
The GHL API endpoints cover authentication, data retrieval, updates, and events. Commonly used ones include endpoints for fetching sensor data and posting updates. Refer to the docs for the full list and ensure your app has access to the specific resources you need.
Test the connection by running a dry run in the Zapier app, ensuring that Adafruit IO feeds map correctly to GHL fields. Check the logs for failed requests, verify timestamps, and confirm data appears in GHL dashboards.
Grant read and write permissions at the minimum to perform actions like data ingestion and updates. Use separate credentials per environment and apply least privilege to reduce risk.
The integration includes built-in retry logic with exponential backoff to handle transient errors. If failures persist, inspect network issues, validate endpoint availability, and contact support if needed.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
