Access to the GHL Contacts API requires a valid API key with the appropriate scope. Include your API key in the Authorization header and ensure the scope is set to contacts.readonly for read operations. For write activities you will need a higher scope such as contacts.write.
Typeform authentication uses a token-based approach. Provide the Typeform access token in the Authorization header and keep it secure. You may authenticate per app or via OAuth depending on your setup.
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; 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 new Typeform form submission
Actions: Create a new contact in GHL or update an existing one by matching email, then map first name, last name, phone and custom fields from the form to the contact record
POST /contacts/
Email, FirstName, LastName, Phone
Trigger: form submission with an existing contact
Actions: Update contact fields in GHL based on the form responses and keep the original contactId
PUT /contacts/:contactId
contactId, Email, FirstName, LastName
Trigger: new Typeform submission
Actions: Create a task linked to the contact with details from the form
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
contactId, taskTitle, dueDate
Fast automation without writing code to move contact data between Typeform and GHL
Real time updates for new form submissions into your CRM and task list
Easy field mapping and built in validation with error handling
A quick glossary of terms and processes you will see when building this integration
A specific URL and HTTP method used to perform an action against a web service, for example GET /contacts/:contactId
A method for real time notifications where an external service is informed of an event such as a form submission
The process of verifying identity to allow access to a service such as API keys or OAuth tokens
The process of aligning form fields to CRM fields so data lands in the right place
Use form responses to create or update contacts and assign lead score tags in GHL, triggering follow up tasks.
Create tasks with due dates and reminders based on user answers to your Typeform forms.
Push form data into segmented campaigns in GHL and automate emails based on form responses.
Generate a GHL API key with the contacts scope and authorize your Typeform connection.
Connect Typeform form fields to the corresponding contact fields in GHL.
Run a test submission, verify data sync, and enable automations.
No developer is required for a basic setup. The Typeform to GHL connection can be configured using API keys and field mappings in your integration tool. For more advanced automations such as conditional triggers or complex field logic, you may opt to hire a developer or consult our setup guide to ensure mappings are robust and secure.
Most Typeform plans with API access support this integration. If your plan includes API access, you can retrieve responses and push to GHL. If you are unsure, contact Typeform support to confirm API availability on your plan.
You can sync core contact fields such as email, first name, last name, and phone, plus any custom fields you map. You can also sync related items like tasks and notes if you enable those mappings in your flow. Ensure field formats align and handle nulls gracefully to avoid partial updates.
There is no hard limit imposed by the integration itself, but your GHL plan and API rate limits may apply. Monitor usage and adjust triggers if you see throttling. You can batch requests where supported to minimize calls.
Common failures come from invalid authentication, missing scopes, or mismatched field mappings. Check your API keys, ensure the correct endpoints are enabled, and verify that form fields map to existing CRM fields. Use logs or your integration tool diagnostics to pinpoint the issue and re-run tests after fixes.
Yes. You can map custom Typeform fields to custom CRM fields in GHL. Keep a clear naming convention and test edge cases where fields may be missing. If a required field is missing, implement default values or skip the update to avoid errors.
Authentication uses tokens and API keys that should be stored securely. Never expose keys in client code. Use secure storage and rotate credentials regularly. When using OAuth, follow best practices for token refreshing and scope management.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
