Connecting HighLevel

This article describes how to connect the HighLevel CRM to LightLead.

Prerequisites

  • An active CRM account

  • Admin rights or access to API settings

  • A stable internet connection

Special Requirements

IMPORTANT: HighLevel requires a location_id and an API key with Location user type. Identity check: Location user type only. When substituting location_id in requests, make sure the identifier is correct — a location_inactive error means an inactive location.

Step 1. Get Access

Follow the instructions in the section above.

Step 2. Add the Connection in LightLead

  1. Go to the Integrations section in LightLead.

  2. Click Add Connection and select HighLevel.

  3. Enter the API key and other required parameters.

  4. Click Connect.

Step 3. Verify the Connection

After a successful connection, LightLead automatically runs initial discovery:

  • Loads the list of available entities

  • Retrieves standard and custom fields

  • Loads pipelines and statuses

  • Verifies permissions

The connection status appears in the integrations list. A green indicator means the connection is successful.

Step 4. Configure Sync

After connecting, configure sync parameters:

  • Sync interval: choose how often data auto-refreshes

  • Entity selection: choose which entities to sync

  • Data depth: configure the historical data period to load

Possible Issues
