Use your API credentials to securely authenticate requests to the GHL Contacts API (scope: contacts.readonly). Keep keys secret and rotate them regularly.
Wufoo will authenticate with the Contacts API using an API key or OAuth token, enabling secure data exchange for form-driven CRM actions.
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 Wufoo form submission creates or updates a contact in GHL.
Actions: Use POST /contacts/ to create a new contact or PUT /contacts/:contactId to update; map Wufoo fields to contact fields; optionally apply tags.
POST /contacts/
Key fields: email, firstName, lastName, phone, customFields
Trigger: When a contact is created or updated from Wufoo, add a follow-up task.
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks with taskName, dueDate, and priority.
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Fields: contactId, taskName, dueDate, priority
Trigger: Contact data is created or updated from Wufoo
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/tags with tags derived from form responses
POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
Fields: contactId, tags
No-code automation: build powerful workflows with clicks, not code.
Faster data synchronization between Wufoo and your CRM for up-to-date records.
Audit-friendly activity logs and clean, structured data for reporting.
A quick glossary of core terms used in this guide and how data flows between Wufoo and the GHL Contacts API.
Application Programming Interface: a set of rules that lets Wufoo talk to the Contacts API.
Process to verify identity and grant access to the API (API keys, OAuth).
A specific URL path that performs a function, such as retrieving a contact or creating a task.
A real-time notification sent from Wufoo to the Contacts API when a triggering event occurs.
Automatically create rich contact profiles from Wufoo submissions by mapping form fields to profile data.
Generate follow-up tasks with due dates based on form responses to keep leads moving.
Tag contacts automatically by form responses to enable targeted campaigns.
Collect your GHL API key and Wufoo integration key and keep them secure.
Create field mappings for essential data: email, name, phone, company, and custom fields.
Run test submissions, verify data flows correctly, then enable in production.
Yes. Wufoo can connect to the GHL Contacts API to automatically create or update contact records when a form is submitted. This no-code setup lets you streamline data capture from Wufoo right into your CRM. You can also extend the workflow with notes, tasks, and tags as needed. Second paragraph: Start by authenticating with the Contacts API, map your Wufoo fields to contact fields, and test the submission to verify data flows.
No traditional code is required for the core flow. The integration uses point-and-click mappings and pre-built actions (create/update contact, add tasks, assign tags). If you need advanced logic, you can add optional steps, but most teams can deploy in minutes.
Updates typically occur in near real-time as Wufoo submissions trigger the workflow. Depending on your polling interval and API rate limits, expect near-instant reflection in the CRM after a form is submitted. You can also rely on webhooks for even faster updates.
CRUD operations in this integration primarily leverage: GET /contacts/:contactId and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks for reads; POST /contacts/ to create, PUT /contacts/:contactId to update, and DELETE /contacts/:contactId to remove records. Tasks can be created with POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, and tags with POST /contacts/:contactId/tags.
Yes. You can set rules to apply tags automatically based on Wufoo form responses. For example, if a lead indicates interest in a product line, a corresponding tag is added to the contact record for segmentation.
Authentication is done via API keys or OAuth tokens. Store credentials securely, rotate keys periodically, and use secure channels (HTTPS) for all calls. Consider scoping access to only the needed resources (e.g., contacts.readonly).
Activity logs can be viewed in your integration dashboard or via API responses. You can audit changes to contacts, tasks, and tags, and monitor form-triggered events for troubleshooting.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
