Access to the Contacts API is secured with an API key scoped to contacts.readonly for reads or with elevated permissions for writes. Store credentials securely, rotate them regularly, and use least privilege.
Authorize Jotform Enterprise to access the GHL Contacts API via a secure flow. Use your chosen authentication method (API key or OAuth) and apply the same security best practices used across your integrations.

No-code integration lets you automate data flow between Jotform Enterprise and the GHL Contacts API without writing a line of code.
Centralized contact data across your apps ensures consistency and faster updates.
Faster onboarding, reliable data sync, and scalable workflows for teams.
A quick glossary of data elements and setup steps to guide your integration.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to access a resource in an API.
The process of proving identity to access the API, usually via API keys or OAuth.
A mechanism for pushing real-time data to your app when events occur.
Keeping data consistent across systems through coordinated updates.
Turn every new Jotform submission into a contact in GHL with mapped fields and tags.
Automatically create tasks in GHL when certain form fields are filled.
Apply dynamic tags based on form data and segment contacts in GHL.
Generate and securely store your GHL API key and grant Jotform Enterprise access.
Map Jotform fields to Contacts API fields and set transformation rules.
Run test submissions, verify data sync, and set up alerts.
No coding is required to connect Jotform Enterprise to the Contacts API. The integration uses standard HTTP endpoints and a visual workflow to map fields and automate actions. If you need deeper customization, Rankr provides templates and guidance to tailor the setup without writing code. For developers, API keys and optional webhooks are available to extend the flow.
Permissions should follow the principle of least privilege. Use read-only for data fetches and grant write permissions only where you need to create or update contacts, tasks, or notes. Revoke access when the connection is no longer needed and rotate keys regularly.
Field mapping is done in the integration settings. Map essential Jotform fields such as email, name, and submission ID to the corresponding GHL Contacts fields. Use transformation rules to normalize data formats (for example, phone numbers) before syncing.
Yes. The endpoints support notes and attachments syncing. Ensure attachments are included in the payload and stored according to your data retention policies. Validate attachment size limits and permissions.
Common authentication errors include invalid API keys, expired credentials, or insufficient scopes. Verify keys, reauthorize the connection, and ensure the app has the required permissions. Check the docs for endpoint-specific requirements.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan and usage. Plan for retries with exponential backoff and monitor API usage in the dashboard. If you hit a limit, optimize calls or apply batching where possible.
Use the test logs, status codes, and webhook events to monitor data flow. Set up alerts for failures and use the integration dashboard in Rankr to track sync health and performance.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
