To use the Email API you must authenticate with an API key that has the users.write scope. Store keys securely and rotate them regularly.
Abstract requires secure authorization to connect to the Email API. Use OAuth tokens or a dedicated app key as provided by your workspace. Keep credentials secret.
Endpoints used in this integration include POST /users/ to create or update users, DELETE /users/:userId to remove users, PUT /users/:userId to modify user details, GET /workflows/ to fetch workflows, and POST courses/courses-exporter/public/import to import courses. Some endpoints are read only like workflows.readonly.
Trigger the upsert when a user is created or updated in Abstract.
Actions: map fields and call POST /users/ to create or PUT /users/:userId to update in Email API.
POST /users/ and PUT /users/:userId
email, name, external_id
Trigger when a new workflow is added or existing workflow changes in Email API.
Actions: fetch GET /workflows/ and reflect in Abstract.
GET /workflows/
id, name, steps
Trigger when a new course is created in Abstract to be imported.
Actions: POST to courses/courses-exporter/public/import.
POST /courses/courses-exporter/public/import
course_id, title, status
Automations can be built without writing code.
Centralized contact data across systems reduces duplicates.
Faster onboarding and ongoing campaigns with ready made templates.
This glossary explains common terms used in this guide for quick reference.
A URL and HTTP method used to perform an action against a service.
Methods to verify identity and authorize access to an API or app.
An open standard for access delegation used by APIs.
A cap on how many requests you can make in a given time period.
Set up a sequence that creates a new user in Email API when a new lead enters Abstract, then triggers welcome emails.
Use user data to segment campaigns and send targeted messages from Email API based on Abstract activity.
Sync audit trails between Abstract and Email API to simplify reporting and compliance checks.
Obtain the API key for Email API and ensure the Abstract app has proper access and the necessary scope.
Map user fields and workflow data between Email API and Abstract to enable accurate syncing.
Run tests in a staging environment, verify logs, and then deploy to production once you are confident.
The GHL API name in this integration is Email API and the APPNAME is Abstract. This pairing lets you extend Abstract with direct Email API capabilities. Use a dedicated app in your workspace to manage these connections. Ensure the API key has the users.write scope and restrict it to only the permissions you need. Keep credentials secure and rotate keys regularly.
You will interact with endpoints that manage users and workflows. Key endpoints include POST /users/ to create users, PUT /users/:userId to update, DELETE /users/:userId to remove, and GET /workflows/ to retrieve workflows. The courses importer endpoint POST /courses/courses-exporter/public/import enables course data transfer. Use read only endpoints like workflows.readonly where appropriate.
No heavy coding is required. This integration is designed for no code or low code setups via your automation platform. You can map fields and set triggers without writing custom scripts. If you need advanced logic, you can extend with lightweight scripts in your automation tool.
Yes, there are rate limits for API calls. Plan your sync frequency and batch sizes accordingly. If you hit limits, implement exponential backoff and staggered runs to maintain reliability.
Field mappings determine how data moves between systems. Map essential fields such as email, name, and external_id from Abstract to Email API and vice versa. Use consistent data types and validate required fields to prevent errors.
You can test connections using sandbox or staging environments provided by your setup. Verify authentication, endpoint access, and data mappings. Review API response codes and logs to troubleshoot before going live.
API keys and credentials are found in your GHL and Abstract workspace under API Access or App Integrations. Ensure keys are restricted to the appropriate scopes and never exposed publicly. Rotate keys periodically and monitor for suspicious activity.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
