Use secure token-based authentication with your Memberships API credentials. Ensure the access scope matches required operations (for example, users.readonly). Rotate credentials regularly and store them in a secure vault.
Abstract accesses the GHL API using OAuth 2.0 tokens. Keep tokens secret, refresh as needed, and never embed secrets in client-side code.
GET /users/ — Retrieve a list of users. GET /users/{userId} — Retrieve details for a single user. Note: The API includes additional endpoints for memberships, updates, and more; consult the API documentation for the full list.
Trigger whenever a user is created or updated in Abstract to pull the member’s latest status from Memberships API.
Actions: Retrieve users with GET /users/ and fetch individual records with GET /users/{userId}, then update Abstract authorizations and membership fields.
GET /users/ and GET /users/{userId}
id, email, memberships, status
Trigger on explicit requests from Abstract workflows to fetch a member’s current memberships and status.
GET /users/{userId}
id, memberships, status, lastUpdated
Schedule or manually trigger batch sync jobs to refresh all member records.
GET /users/ (paginated)
id, email, memberships, status
Leverage no-code automations to synchronize member data without writing any code.
Real-time data synchronization ensures up-to-date membership statuses in Abstract dashboards.
Centralized data in Abstract enables richer reporting and smarter customer journeys.
This glossary explains core terms and the processes involved in integrating the GHL API with Abstract, including endpoints, authentication, data mapping, and error handling.
A specific URL in the API surface that performs a defined action, such as retrieving users.
Mechanisms to prove identity and authorize access to API resources, typically tokens and scopes.
HTTP methods like GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE used to interact with endpoints.
Constraints on call frequency to the API, guiding retries and backoff strategies.
Auto-verify a member’s status during sign-up and enroll them into the right tier instantly.
Trigger automated messages or tasks when members reach milestones, improving engagement.
Pull membership data into dashboards for retention and lifecycle insights.
Obtain an API token with the appropriate scope (for example, users.readonly) from your GHL account and store it securely.
Add GET /users/ and GET /users/{userId} to your Abstract workflows and ensure proper field mapping.
Run test requests, validate responses, handle errors, and monitor data synchronization.
The Memberships API uses token-based authentication with scopes to control access. A token with the users.readonly scope is typically used to read member data. Keep tokens secure and rotate them regularly. If you’re using a shared environment, store tokens in a secure vault and never expose them in client-side code. The token must be included in your API requests as a header for each call.
The available endpoints documented here include GET /users/ to list members and GET /users/{userId} to fetch a single member’s details. There are additional endpoints for memberships, updates, and more; consult the API documentation for the full list and usage guidance.
No coding is required if you use no-code connectors like Zapier to bridge Memberships API and Abstract. You can create workflows with drag-and-drop actions that fetch, transform, and push data. Alternatively, developers can implement HTTP requests and custom logic if you need more control.
Test in a sandbox or staging environment first, using sample user IDs and test tokens. Verify responses, data mappings, and error handling. Set up monitoring and alerting for any discrepancies during the sync.
API calls are rate-limited; plan retries with exponential backoff and respect the documented quotas. If you exceed limits, consider batching requests or upgrading your plan where appropriate.
Map fields such as id, email, memberships, and status between the API response and Abstract’s member records. Use data transformers or built-in mapping tools to ensure consistent data types and handle missing values.
API documentation is available in the GHL developer portal and in the Abstract integration guide. Look for code samples, Postman collections, and step-by-step setup tutorials to help you get started.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
