Authorize the SaaS API access with the correct OAuth scope. The connection uses a readonly scope for secure data access and a token exchange flow to establish trusted communication with ActiveCollab.
Approve the ActiveCollab app permissions to allow SaaS API to access and update your data. This consent step is essential for a secure, two-way integration.
GET /oauth/installedLocations; oauth.write; POST /oauth/locationToken; saas/location.write; PUT /update-saas-subscription/:locationId; POST /enable-saas/:locationId
Trigger: A new SaaS location is created and ready to be linked to ActiveCollab.
Actions: obtain a locationToken, write the SaaS location, and enable the SaaS integration.
Method Paths: POST /oauth/locationToken, POST /enable-saas/:locationId.
Key fields: locationId, accessToken, refreshToken.
Trigger: SaaS subscription status changes (active, paused, canceled) in SaaS API.
Actions: call update-saas-subscription to mirror status in ActiveCollab.
Method Path: PUT /update-saas-subscription/:locationId
Key fields: locationId, subscriptionStatus, planId.
Trigger: New user created in ActiveCollab; provision SaaS access via token.
Actions: use saas/location.write to add user and enable-saas to grant access.
Method Paths: POST /oauth/locationToken, POST /enable-saas/:locationId
Key fields: locationId, userId, accessLevel.
No-code setup reduces time to value and enables rapid automation without developers.
Drag-and-drop workflow designer lets you tweak automations on the fly.
Automatic data syncing across SaaS API and ActiveCollab ensures accuracy.
Definitions of OAuth, location tokens, endpoints, and the data flow between SaaS API and ActiveCollab.
OAuth is an open standard for access delegation that enables apps to access user data without sharing passwords.
A location represents a SaaS instance connected to your GHL account.
A URL that your app uses to interact with the GHL API.
A token is a string used to authenticate API requests.
Auto-assign tasks in ActiveCollab when a new project is created in SaaS API to accelerate onboarding.
Refresh tokens on subscription renewal to keep services active without manual steps.
Rotate tokens regularly and enforce least-privilege roles for all connected apps.
Grant access to SaaS API from ActiveCollab; review scopes and approve.
Map endpoint paths and fields: locationToken, update-saas-subscription, enable-saas.
Run tests, verify data flow, monitor for errors, go live.
SaaS API acts as a bridge between your SaaS applications and ActiveCollab, enabling data synchronization and automation without custom coding. It provides endpoints to install locations, exchange tokens, and manage subscriptions. By connecting SaaS API to ActiveCollab, you can automate provisioning, updates, and user access. This reduces manual work and ensures consistent data across systems. In addition, you can build no-code workflows to trigger actions based on events in either system.
Yes. You should configure OAuth scopes carefully. A readonly scope is often used for data access, plus write scopes for actions like creating or updating a SaaS location. Always grant the minimum necessary privileges and rotate tokens regularly to maintain security.
The essential endpoints include GET /oauth/installedLocations, POST /oauth/locationToken, PUT /update-saas-subscription/:locationId, and POST /enable-saas/:locationId. These cover discovery, token exchange, subscription updates, and activation of the SaaS connection. You can add saas/location.write for location-level updates as needed.
Yes. Use a sandbox or test environment to simulate location creation, token exchange, and subscription changes. Validate data flows and error handling before going live. Monitoring and alerting can help detect issues early.
Token rotation should be scheduled and automated where possible. Store tokens securely, implement refresh logic, and revoke compromised tokens immediately. Following least-privilege access reduces risk if credentials are exposed.
No-code workflow builders are supported for configuring triggers and actions between SaaS API and ActiveCollab. You can visually map events, conditions, and outcomes without writing code.
Logs and dashboards are available to monitor API calls, token status, and data synchronization. Use these tools to troubleshoot, verify successful operations, and audit changes over time.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
