Forms API access uses the forms.readonly scope. Create API credentials in your GHL developer console and configure them in Zapier. Use OAuth 2.0 where available and keep tokens secure.
Zapier connections use OAuth 2.0 or API keys. This guide covers OAuth 2.0 setup, including client ID, client secret, and the redirect URL configured in the GHL admin console.
– GET /forms/ — Retrieve a list of forms – GET /forms/submissions — Retrieve submissions for forms – GET /forms/{formId} — Retrieve a single form’s details – POST /forms/{formId}/submissions — Submit a new form submission – GET /forms/{formId}/submissions — List submissions for a specific form – GET /forms/{formId}/fields — Retrieve the fields for a form – Additional endpoints are available in the Forms API docs and may be used as needed.
Trigger: New form submission arrives in Forms API (via webhook or polling).
Actions: Create or update a record in your app with mapped form fields.
Endpoint used: GET /forms/submissions
Key fields: Form ID, Submission ID, and mapped form fields to your app.
Trigger: When a form structure is listed or updated (GET /forms/).
Actions: Retrieve field metadata and populate templates in your app.

Automate data transfer and workflows without writing code.
Deploy form-driven processes quickly using prebuilt triggers and actions.
Centralize data across CRM, analytics, and notification tools with zero custom code.
This glossary defines core terms and processes used when integrating GHL Forms API with the Zapier App Connector.
A collection of questions and fields designed to collect information from a user.
A URL that enables programmatic access to a subset of Form data.
Authorization framework that grants access to GHL APIs without sharing user credentials.
A user’s form response that is stored as a submission in GHL.
When a form is submitted, automatically create or update a contact or lead in your CRM with mapped form fields.
Post a concise form submission digest to Slack or Teams to keep the team aligned.
Push metrics like submission counts and field data to your BI tool or Google Sheets automatically.
In GHL, generate API credentials for the Forms API and ensure the scope is forms.readonly.
Enter the client ID and secret, set the redirect URL, and test the connection.
Create a Zap using Forms API as the trigger and map fields to your app’s data model.
Yes. Endpoints like GET /forms/ and GET /forms/submissions are accessible via the Zapier App Connector. You can list forms and fetch submissions for automation. Additional endpoints may be available in the Forms API docs and can be integrated as needed.
Authentication uses OAuth 2.0 with client credentials. Configure the client ID and secret in Zapier to authorize access. Store tokens securely and refresh as required; use the forms.readonly scope for read-only access in this setup.
No heavy coding is required. Zapier provides a no-code interface to map fields and set up triggers and actions. For advanced scenarios, you can use custom mappings or multi-step Zaps as needed.
Yes. You can fetch submissions for a specific form by including the formId in the endpoint path (GET /forms/{formId}/submissions). You can also filter by date or status if supported by the endpoint.
The standard scope is forms.readonly for read access. Use more restricted scopes if your use case requires it, following GHL docs.
Zapier includes built-in retry logic and error handling. If you encounter rate limits, apply backoff and retry strategies, or contact support for guidance.
There isn’t a dedicated sandbox in this connector, but you can test with a development workspace using test forms and sample submissions.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
