Authenticate using OAuth 2.0 with scoped access for saas/location.read. Generate API credentials in the Snapshots API dashboard and enter them in your GHL integration settings. Keep credentials secure and rotate regularly.
In HoneyBook, connect to the Snapshots API by providing the client ID and secret obtained from the GHL app. Use OAuth or token-based authentication to authorize calls from HoneyBook to the Snapshots API.
GET /locations — Retrieve a list of locations from Snapshots API. Scope: saas/location.read. This endpoint is used to sync location data into HoneyBook. Additional endpoints (Endpoint2 through Endpoint17) are documented separately and may be used for advanced setups.
Trigger: when a location is created or updated in HoneyBook, push the change to Snapshots API in real time.
Actions: upsert location data using POST /locations and PATCH /locations/{id} as needed to reflect changes in HoneyBook.
POST /locations (upsert) and PATCH /locations/{id}
id, name, address, phone, email, updated_at
Trigger: hourly batch job to synchronize all locations between HoneyBook and Snapshots API.
Actions: POST /locations/batch with an array of location objects to upsert multiple records at once.
POST /locations/batch
locations[].id, locations[].name, locations[].external_id, locations[].updated_at
Trigger: a user requests a specific location from HoneyBook on demand.
Actions: GET /locations?external_id={external_id} to fetch the exact location data.
GET /locations?external_id={external_id}
external_id, name, last_updated
Visual workflow builder in GHL lets you automate data syncing without writing code.
Pre-built templates and triggers speed up setup and maintenance.
Error handling, retries, and secure credential storage reduce risk.
Key elements and processes you’ll encounter when connecting GHL’s Snapshots API with HoneyBook.
An interface that lets apps talk to each other and exchange data securely.
A specific URL in an API that performs a function or returns data.
A secure authorization framework that grants limited access without sharing passwords.
A way for one app to notify another when data changes.
Automatically push location changes in Snapshots API to corresponding HoneyBook projects to keep data current.
Trigger reminders or tasks in HoneyBook when a location record is updated in Snapshots API.
Use batch endpoints to initialize location data across both platforms during onboarding.
Create or obtain API credentials from Snapshots API and configure in HoneyBook’s GHL integration settings.
Set scope saas/location.read and any needed write permissions; ensure OAuth flow is enabled.
Run a test sync for GET /locations and verify data accuracy; enable live automation.
No heavy coding is required. This guide shows how to set up a secure connection using OAuth and an API key, then map data between HoneyBook and Snapshots API. If you prefer, you can leverage no-code automations within GHL to handle simple sync tasks. For more complex workflows, light scripting or dedicated Zapier-style automation can be used.
The primary data you can sync includes location data such as id, name, address, and contact details. You can also keep timestamps updated to reflect changes. Advanced use may include custom fields and external IDs to maintain cross-system mapping.
Yes. Use the test or sandbox mode in Snapshots API and run a controlled sync to verify results. Check logs in GHL and Snapshots API dashboards for any errors and adjust mappings accordingly.
If a sync fails, review the error message, confirm credentials, and verify endpoint availability and scopes. Retries are usually automatic, but you can trigger a manual resync for failed records.
Yes. Data transmitted between HoneyBook and Snapshots API should use TLS encryption, and OAuth access tokens provide scoped permissions to minimize exposure. Regular credential audits are recommended.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
