# GHL CRM — GoHighLevel Integration for OpenClaw

Complete GoHighLevel CRM integration. Manage contacts, pipelines, conversations, appointments, and workflows through the GHL API v2.

## Quick Start

```bash
export GHL_API_KEY="your-private-integration-token"
export GHL_LOCATION_ID="your-location-id"
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/ghl_api.py contacts search "john@example.com"
```

## Authentication

GHL uses **Private Integration Tokens** (API v2). Get yours from:
1. Go to **Settings → Integrations → Private Integrations** in your GHL sub-account
2. Create a new integration, enable the scopes you need
3. Copy the API key — this is your `GHL_API_KEY`

The `GHL_LOCATION_ID` is your sub-account/location ID (found in Settings → Business Info or the URL).

**Base URL:** `https://services.leadconnectorhq.com`

**Auth header:** `Authorization: Bearer <GHL_API_KEY>` + `Version: 2021-07-28`

## Integration Patterns

### Lead Capture → CRM Pipeline
1. Capture lead via form/chatbot
2. `contacts create` with lead data
3. `opportunities create` to add to pipeline
4. `workflows add-contact` to trigger nurture sequence

### Appointment Booking Flow
1. `calendars list` to find the right calendar
2. `calendars slots` to get availability
3. `appointments create` to book the slot
4. GHL auto-sends confirmation via configured workflow

### Follow-Up Automation
1. `conversations list` to find unresponded conversations
2. `contacts get` for context
3. Generate follow-up with AI
4. `conversations send-sms` or `send-email`
