Authenticate to the Memberships API through GHL using OAuth 2.0 with the scope users.readonly to safely access endpoints.
Act-On authorizes data flow to the Memberships API via the Zapier connector; use the configured OAuth or API key as set up in your workspace.
– GET /users/ fetches all users\n- GET /users/:userId fetches a single user by ID\nNote: Additional endpoints are outside the scope of this guide.
Trigger: a new or updated user in Memberships API pushes an updated contact to Act-On.
Actions: create or update contact in Act-On, map fields such as email, name, and membership status.
Method path used for this connection: GET /users/ to fetch user records for sync.
Key fields used for matching are userId and email.
Trigger: changes to user roles or statuses in Memberships API update segments in Act-On.
Actions: adjust contact segments or tags in Act-On.
GET /users/:userId
Key fields: userId, role, email.
Trigger: scheduled batch every night to sync multiple users.
Actions: bulk create or update in Act-On using a batch import.
Endpoint: GET /users/ with pagination for full sync.
Key fields: userId, email.
No code setup lets non-developers build automations between Memberships API and Act-On quickly.
Automations run in Zapier without custom code, reducing time to value.
Real-time or near-real-time data sync with minimal maintenance.
This glossary covers API, endpoints, OAuth 2.0, payloads, triggers, and actions as used in the Memberships API to Act-On integration.
A defined interface that allows apps to communicate and exchange data.
A specific URL in an API that performs a function such as retrieving user data.
A standard authorization protocol that issues access tokens to approved apps.
The data sent in an API request or returned in a response.
Automatically enroll new users into a welcome series in Act-On when they sign up in Memberships API.
Create dynamic segments in Act-On based on user attributes from the Memberships API.
Trigger re-engagement emails in Act-On when Memberships API data shows inactivity.
Grant the required scope (users.readonly) and configure OAuth settings in GHL, then authorize the Zapier connector.
Add GET /users/ and GET /users/:userId as primary endpoints and test connectivity.
Create Zapier workflows to push user data to Act-On campaigns and lists.
You can authenticate using OAuth 2.0 with a client in your GHL workspace and scope users.readonly. The credentials are managed in the Zapier app connection and you should grant read-only access to user data. If your org requires token rotation, store tokens securely and rotate them on schedule.\n\nKeep credentials in a secure vault and revoke access when teammates depart to maintain security.
The primary endpoints you need are GET /users/ and GET /users/:userId. These allow listing and fetching individual user records for sync. Other endpoints exist but are not required for the standard Memberships API to Act-On flow.\n\nTest connectivity with a sample user and verify that key fields map correctly to Act-On fields.
Data sync can be real-time if you configure event-driven triggers, or near real-time with polling in Zapier. The exact latency depends on your Zapier plan and how frequently you poll.\n\nFor critical campaigns, choose triggers to push data as soon as Memberships API detects changes.
No heavy code is required. The Zapier connector provides actions and mappings that cover most use cases. Some advanced mappings may benefit from light scripting or custom fields, but a typical setup requires only point-and-click configuration.\n\nIf you need custom data transformations, use Zapier’s built-in formatter or a small code step.
In Zapier, map the source fields from Memberships API to Act-On fields such as email, first name, last name, and membership status. Use userId to deduplicate and ensure each contact record matches Act-On.\n\nConsider creating default mappings for new fields and validating data types before activations.
Define data governance by enforcing field validations, deduplication rules, and permission scopes. Regularly audit mappings, monitor data freshness, and implement retry and error-handling workflows.\n\nDocument data flows and responsibilities to keep teams aligned and compliant.
API credentials are available in the GHL developer console and in the Zapier app connection panel. Copy the client id and secret from GHL, configure them in Zapier, and secure them in your vault. If you rotate credentials, update all connected apps immediately.\n\nIf you use API keys instead of OAuth, store keys securely and monitor usage.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
