GHL supports secure authentication via OAuth 2.0 and API keys. In most scenarios, start with OAuth 2.0 for user-scoped access and refresh tokens, then use scoped keys for app-level access.
Store credentials securely (prefer environment variables or a secrets manager), rotate keys regularly, and never expose tokens in client-side code. Use Zapier or a server to proxy requests when possible.

Zero-code integration with the Zapier App Connector lets you connect systems in minutes, not weeks.
Iterate quickly: test flows in a safe sandbox and deploy live when ready.
Reuse templates and common workflows across teams to scale your integration.
Elements include endpoints, triggers, actions, authentication, and field mappings. The processes describe how data moves between GHL and Your App.
The programmatic interface for interacting with GHL resources—leads, contacts, tasks, notes, and more—via REST endpoints.
A user or system-initiated HTTP callback that notifies your app of events in GHL (e.g., new lead, updated contact).
A specific URL path that performs an action or returns data in the GHL API (e.g., /leads, /contacts).
The method used to verify identity and authorize access to GHL resources (OAuth 2.0, API keys, tokens).
Set up a webhook-driven flow that grades new leads in Your App and pushes qualified ones to GHL with enriched data.
Keep Contacts in sync between Your App and GHL with conflict resolution and field-mapping presets.
Create and assign tasks in GHL from Your App events, then pull status updates back into Your app dashboards.
Register your app in the GHL developer portal, obtain client credentials, and implement OAuth 2.0 flow or API key usage.
Choose endpoints, configure webhooks, and define field mappings for leads, contacts, and tasks.
Run end-to-end tests, deploy to production, and monitor dashboards for errors and latency.
The GHL API is the programmatic interface that lets you create, read, update, and delete GHL resources like leads, contacts, and tasks. It enables your app to automate processes and keep data in sync. Start with authentication, then explore endpoints that match your workflow.
Yes. You can integrate without coding by using Zapier’s App Connector and prebuilt templates. For complex flows, light scripting or a serverless function can help transform data before sending it to GHL.
OAuth 2.0 is recommended for user-scoped access. API keys or tokens can be used for server-to-server communication. Rotate credentials regularly and keep them secure.
Core endpoints include /leads, /contacts, /tasks, and /notes. Map your app fields to these endpoints and use webhooks to trigger updates when data changes.
Webhooks push events from GHL to your app in near real-time. You set up webhooks in the GHL developer console and listen for events to drive your app workflows.
Use a sandbox environment or test mode in Zapier or a staging GHL account to validate flows before going live. Simulate failures to ensure retry logic works.
We provide starter templates and example flows in our docs and templates gallery to help you get started quickly.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
