To access the GHL Email API you generate an API key from your GHL account or use OAuth. Include the key in your requests securely. Start with POST /users/ to create a user and then use PUT for updates. Always test in a sandbox environment.
User management endpoints include POST /users/ to create and PUT /users/:userId to update, and DELETE /users/:userId to remove. Use GET /workflows/ to list workflows and manage assignments.
No code automation is possible by using the Zapier App Connector to trigger GHL actions with minimal setup. You can map fields and configure triggers and actions without writing code.
Test your integration in a sandbox or development workspace. Run end to end tests to verify data flows between Zapier and the GHL Email API before going live.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan and API usage. Plan your automation with batching and backoff to stay within limits.
Required data includes email, name fields, and identifiers like userId or courseId depending on the endpoint. Always map essential fields to ensure successful API calls.
API keys are generated in your GHL account under API credentials. Store keys securely and reference them in the Zapier app configuration when establishing connections.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
