You can use OAuth 2.0 or API keys to authenticate between GHL Email API and Zapier, depending on your security requirements. Zapier will request access tokens and use them to perform actions on your behalf. Ensure scopes align with the endpoints you need. Read-only and write access can be configured per integration. In practice, most teams choose OAuth for ongoing connections and token rotation.
Key endpoints include POST /users/ for creating users, PUT /users/:userId for updating user data, GET /workflows/ for listing workflows, and GET /workflows/{id} for details. You’ll also use workflows.readonly scope to fetch available workflows. This enables automation of emails, course imports, and workflow-based triggers without manual steps.
Yes. The Email API supports importing course data via POST /courses/courses-exporter/public/import, enabling campaigns to reach learners with targeted messages as courses are added or updated.
No extensive coding is required. Zapier provides ready-made triggers and actions. You configure connections, map fields, and set up workflows in a visual editor. This lowers the barrier to automating complex email and campaign processes.
Security is maintained through OAuth or API keys, encrypted data in transit, and token-based access. Zapier stores credentials securely, and you control granted scopes. Regularly rotate credentials and monitor activity for unusual events.
API rate limits vary by plan. If you hit limits, implement batching, stagger requests, and use webhooks to reduce polling. The typical guidance is to design idempotent workflows that handle retries gracefully.
API credentials and endpoint details are available in your GHL account under the API settings. In Zapier, select the GHL Email API connection and follow the prompts to authenticate and choose endpoints to use in your Zap.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
