Create an API credential in the Snapshots API (GHL) project and configure it in your WordPress connector. Apply the saas/location.read scope to read location data.
Authorize WordPress to access Snapshots API data through the GHL connection, using OAuth2 or API key as supported.
Endpoint1: GET /locations. Additional endpoints are available in the SDK and docs and can be wired as needed for advanced flows.
Trigger: new or updated locations in GHL trigger a pull via GET /locations.
Actions: create or update WordPress posts or custom blocks with location data.
Method Path: GET /locations
Key fields: id, name, address, latitude, longitude
Trigger: location records show last_updated changes.
Actions: update WordPress content to reflect changes in real time.
Method Path: GET /locations?updated_after={timestamp}
Key fields: location_id, last_updated
Trigger: GHL webhooks notify WordPress when a location changes.
Actions: upsert or delete WordPress content to mirror the source of truth.
Method Path: POST/PUT to an endpoint you expose via the WordPress webhook handler
Key fields: location_id, status, timestamp

Configure GET /locations and related endpoints as needed in WordPress.
Test connections, verify data mapping, and go live.
You authenticate by granting WordPress access to your Snapshots API project. Use OAuth2 or an API key as supported. Ensure the saas/location.read scope is enabled for location data access. Test permissions in a staging site. Two short paragraphs: Start by creating an application in GHL and generating credentials for Snapshots API. Select OAuth2 or API Key as the auth method and grant the saas/location.read scope. In WordPress, install the GHL connector, enter the credentials, and run a test connection to confirm access to location data.
No coding is required if you use the drag-and-drop builder and pre-built templates. Two paragraphs: Use the visual workflow designer to map fields and triggers. For advanced mappings, you can add custom fields and filters as needed.
Essential endpoints depend on your use case. For WordPress location syncing, GET /locations is primary. Other endpoints may be used for lookups or updates. Two paragraphs: Review the API docs to identify filters and pagination. Plan endpoint usage around your content model and update cadence.
The connection uses HTTPS and OAuth2 or API keys. Rotate credentials regularly, limit scopes, and monitor logs. Two paragraphs: Enforce least privilege and review access periodically. Combine with WordPress user roles and plugin security to mitigate risk.
Yes. Use a staging site to validate data mappings and workflows before going live. Two paragraphs: Run end-to-end tests with sample data and verify content creation, updates, and deletions. Once validated, promote to production with a rollback plan.
Map fields like location_id, name, and coordinates to WordPress custom fields or blocks. Two paragraphs: Define clear field mappings and use data transformers to normalize formats. Handle nulls and edge cases to avoid broken content.
API keys and credentials are found in your GHL project settings under API access. Create a new key and note the value. Two paragraphs: Store securely in WordPress config or a secrets manager and rotate regularly. Prefer server-to-server storage and avoid exposing keys publicly.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
