Use OAuth 2.0 with the Contacts scope and securely store your access token. Register a developer app for the GHL API and grant the Formidable Forms app the required permissions.
Connect using the Formidable Forms App Connector settings, select the Contacts API, and verify access to read and write contact data.
GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id, GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments, GET /contacts/, GET /contacts/business/:businessId, contacts.write, POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId, DELETE /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed, DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
Trigger: A Formidable Forms submission creates or updates a contact in GHL.
Actions: Create a new contact with POST /contacts/ and then update fields with PUT /contacts/:contactId as needed.
POST /contacts/ to create a new contact; PUT /contacts/:contactId to update an existing one.
Key fields: firstName, lastName, email, phone, company, jobTitle, notes, tags.
Trigger: When a contact is updated in GHL or a form submission occurs.
Actions: Pull the contact profile, tasks, and notes into Formidable Forms for display and updates.
GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes for a complete view.
Key fields: contactId, tasks, notes, appointments, email.
Trigger: Bulk sync of all contacts for a given business.
Actions: Import or sync contacts into Formidable Forms and map fields for campaigns.
GET /contacts/business/:businessId
Key fields: businessId, contactId, name, email.
Automate data flows without writing code, saving time and reducing manual work.
Real-time data synchronization keeps Formidable Forms fields in sync with CRM data.
Faster onboarding and scalable automation for marketing and sales teams.
This glossary defines core concepts used in the integration, including endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, and data fields.
API stands for Application Programming Interface; it enables software applications to communicate and exchange data.
An API path that performs a specific action, such as /contacts/:contactId.
The process of verifying identity and granting access to the API.
A method for apps to receive real-time data pushes from another system.
When a Formidable Forms form is submitted, automatically create a new contact in GHL and begin a welcome task.
Push form responses to Formidable Forms as notes on the corresponding GHL contact to enrich CRM data.
Apply tags to GHL contacts based on form answers to support targeted campaigns.
Register your GHL app, obtain credentials, and authorize Formidable Forms to access Contacts data.
Map Formidable Form fields to GHL contact fields and define triggers for create or update actions.
Run end-to-end tests, validate data integrity, and enable automation.
Endpoints cover retrieval, creation, updates, and deletion of contacts, tasks, notes, and tags. Use GET to read data, POST to create, PUT to update, and DELETE to remove records. Combine endpoints with Formidable Forms to populate fields and drive automations.
No extensive coding is required for this no-code integration. Use the Formidable Forms App Connector to map fields and configure actions. When you need custom logic, you can extend the workflow with webhooks or small script steps.
Authentication typically uses OAuth 2.0 with scopes for contacts. Tokens should be stored securely and refreshed as needed. Ensure your app has the right permissions to read and write contact data.
You can sync core contact fields (name, email, phone), plus related data like tasks, notes, and appointments. Map each field carefully to the corresponding Formidable Forms fields.
Test the connection by triggering a sample form submission and inspecting API responses. Verify that data arrives in Formidable Forms correctly and that updates propagate to GHL when changes occur.
Yes. Use the GET /contacts/business/:businessId endpoint to fetch all contacts for a given business. You can then loop through results and push into Formidable Forms as needed.
The endpoint list is available in this guide and in the API documentation provided by the GHL API developer portal. You can also reference the ENDPOINTLIST placeholder for a quick view.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
