To securely access the Memberships API, use OAuth 2.0 with scope users.readonly. Generate credentials in your GHL developer console and grant your ActiveTrail app access to read member data.
ActiveTrail authenticates API calls with an API key. Create a dedicated key for this integration and grant read access to member data; rotate keys regularly.
Endpoint 1: GET /users/ — Retrieve all members. Endpoint 2: GET /users/:userId — Retrieve a specific member by ID.

No coding is required to set up the integration. You can configure triggers and actions through the Zapier App Connector, and use built-in mapping to connect fields. For advanced scenarios, you can leverage webhooks and custom payloads without writing server code.
The core fields synced typically include email, name, membership status, and plan. You can extend mapping to custom fields in ActiveTrail as needed and ensure timestamps align with your business rules.
Sync is near real-time, depending on API rate limits and webhook delivery. Expect updates within minutes rather than hours in most configurations.
Yes. You can map to ActiveTrail custom fields and create corresponding fields in ActiveTrail to store membership data.
API rate limits apply. Plan your sync jobs to stay within limits, and use batching or scheduling for large imports.
A sandbox or trial environment is often available via your integration platform or through vendor programs. Check the provider’s documentation for current options.
API documentation can be found in the Memberships API docs and the ActiveTrail developer portal. Look for endpoints, field mappings, and authentication details.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
