Authentication uses OAuth 2.0 with a read-only scope (users.readonly) to securely access membership data from the Memberships API when connected to Zapier.
In Zapier, configure OAuth credentials for the Memberships API and authorize access with the required scope to protect data while enabling automation.
Primary endpoints: GET /users/ (list members) and GET /users/{userId} (member details). Additional endpoints may be available via the API reference.
Trigger: A new membership is created in Memberships API
Action: Create or update a contact in your CRM (e.g., HubSpot, Salesforce)
GET /users/
Key fields: userId, email, firstName, lastName, membershipStatus
Trigger: a member’s status changes in Memberships API
Action: Update the corresponding CRM contact with new membershipTier or status
GET /users/{userId}
Key fields: userId, membershipTier, status, lastUpdated
Trigger: Membership expiration date approaches in Memberships API
Action: Create a task or send a reminder to stakeholders
GET /users/ (with filter for expiring memberships)
Key fields: userId, expirationDate, status
Automate onboarding and membership updates without writing code
Keep data synchronized across apps in real time
Build custom automations triggered by membership events
This glossary explains core elements such as endpoints, authentication, triggers, and actions in the Memberships API + Zapier integration.
A specific URL in the Memberships API used to perform a task, e.g., GET /users/.
Methods to securely verify identity when requesting data (OAuth 2.0, access tokens).
Industry-standard authorization framework used by GHL APIs and Zapier to grant limited access.
The data sent in an API request or response, typically JSON.
Automatically welcome new members by enrolling them in a CRM workflow and sending a welcome email.
Create reminders when memberships are near expiration and trigger renewal offers.
Notify teams when users upgrade or downgrade membership tiers.
Register the Memberships API in Zapier, obtain client credentials, and set the required scope (users.readonly).
Complete OAuth flow and run a test to fetch a sample user.
Choose a trigger (new user) and an action (create/update contact) in Zapier.
The Memberships API lets you access and manage membership data from your GHL account. When connected to Zapier, you can automate workflows that respond to new members, updates, and expirations. It uses OAuth 2.0 for secure access and supports read-only scope by default to protect data. With Zapier, you can pull user data into apps like CRMs or email platforms and trigger downstream actions.
The primary endpoints are GET /users/ to list members and GET /users/{userId} to fetch details for a specific member. Depending on your plan, you may have access to additional endpoints. Always refer to the API reference for the full list.
OAuth 2.0 is used for authentication. Zapier will handle the authorization flow and securely store access tokens. Ensure you grant the users.readonly scope to protect data while enabling read access.
Yes. Zapier test connections simulate API calls using sample data. You can validate endpoints and field mappings before going live.
Retries are automatic on transient errors. You can configure retry behavior in Zapier, including the delay between retries and max attempts.
Yes, rate limits apply. If you exceed them, Zapier will retry with backoff and you can optimize by batching requests or caching data.
Endpoint details, sample payloads, and schema are available in the API documentation. You can also export example payloads to guide mapping.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
