Obtain your API credentials from the GHL developer portal, including a client ID, client secret, and appropriate OAuth scopes. Configure a secure redirect URL and store credentials in a secret manager; rotate keys regularly.
Configure AccessAlly to exchange tokens with the GHL API, validate signatures on each request, and test the flow in a sandbox before going live.
Key endpoints include contacts, campaigns, events, webhooks, and user profiles to enable syncing and automation between GHL and AccessAlly.
Trigger: A new or updated contact in GHL fires a webhook to AccessAlly.
Actions: Upsert contact in AccessAlly, update lifecycle stages, and queue nurture emails.
Endpoint: POST /contacts/sync
Key fields: email, first_name, last_name, phone
Trigger: Enrollment status in GHL updates AccessAlly campaign enrollment.
Actions: Enroll or update a contact in an AccessAlly campaign; sync engagement data.
Endpoint: POST /campaigns/enroll
Key fields: campaign_id, contact_email, enrollment_status
Trigger: GHL events (open, click, form submit) push data to AccessAlly.
Actions: Update contact activity, trigger automations, and log events in AccessAlly analytics.
Endpoint: POST /webhooks/events
Key fields: event_type, timestamp, user_email
Real-time data syncing reduces manual entry and prevents duplicates.
Automated follow-ups and campaigns triggered by events save time and improve conversions.
Consolidated reporting across GHL and AccessAlly reveals actionable insights.
This glossary defines core terms and processes you’ll use when integrating the GHL API with AccessAlly via the Email ISV API.
API: A set of rules that allows software to communicate and exchange data securely.
Webhook: A real-time callback that notifies another system when a specific event occurs.
OAuth 2.0 is an authorization framework enabling secure delegated access with tokens.
Endpoint: A dedicated URL in an API that performs a defined action (create, read, update, delete).
Automatically enroll new AccessAlly subscribers into a tailored GHL campaign when they sign up.
Consolidate data from GHL and AccessAlly into a single analytics view for smarter decisions.
Use webhook events to trigger nurture emails and educational sequences in AccessAlly.
Register your app in the GHL developer portal and generate a client ID and secret for secure access.
Define the required scopes for data you will read and write, and configure redirect URLs for OAuth.
Test in a sandbox, validate webhooks, and then deploy to production with monitoring.
Security is built into the integration with OAuth tokens, signed requests, and least-privilege scopes. Always use HTTPS, rotate keys every 90 days, and store secrets in a secure vault. Monitor for unusual activity with alerts and audit logs. Second, start with a sandbox environment to validate credentials and event flows before going live, and implement retry logic to handle transient failures gracefully.
Coding is optional for many no-code use cases, but a lightweight script or Zapier workflow can help you map fields and handle edge cases. Our guides cover both low-code and no-code approaches. If you need custom logic, consider a small middleware layer to normalize data between GHL and AccessAlly and handle error retries reliably.
At minimum, sync the contact email, name, and lifecycle status. Depending on your data model, you may also include tags and custom fields. Start with essential fields and expand as needed. Utilize webhooks and polling wisely, and test with sample contacts to ensure data integrity across systems.
Yes. Use a sandbox or staging environment to test triggers, endpoints, and data flows without affecting real customers. Validate every webhook payload before enabling production. Enable verbose logging during testing and gradually enable live sync with small batches.
Implement retry logic with exponential backoff and idempotent endpoints to avoid duplicate actions. Use dead-letter queues or alerting to catch failed events and reprocess them. Document error codes and create runbooks so your team can quickly resolve issues during the integration lifecycle.
Rate limits vary by endpoint; respect the documented quotas and implement backoff. Cache frequently requested data when possible and batch writes to improve efficiency. Contact support if you anticipate spikes and request a temporary quota increase if your use case warrants it.
Rotate credentials regularly and use short-lived tokens where possible. Store secrets in a secure vault, rotate on a schedule, and monitor for compromised keys with alerting. Document key rotation procedures and keep a secure backup of credentials in a separate, access-controlled location.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
