Use your GHL API key with the Forms API and keep the credentials secure. Request the forms.readonly scope and apply it to your app connection.
Use your 46elks account credentials or OAuth tokens to authorize data pushes and pulls. Store tokens securely and rotate keys as recommended.
GET /forms/ — Retrieve all forms; GET /forms/submissions — Retrieve submissions for forms; Additional endpoints are available in the API docs if needed.
Trigger: A new submission is received via GET /forms/submissions.
Actions: Create or update a contact in 46elks; sync submission data and attach notes in the contact history.
GET /forms/submissions
submission_id, form_id, submitted_at, form_fields
Trigger: On-demand or scheduled pull of GET /forms/ to refresh templates and fields.
Actions: Update 46elks form references and pass basic form metadata into contacts for context.
GET /forms/
form_id, name, fields
Trigger: New submission mapped to 46elks contact fields in real time.
Actions: Update contact fields, add notes, and trigger follow-up messages.
GET /forms/submissions
form_id, submission_data, mapped_fields
Automate repetitive tasks without writing code.
Sync data in real time between forms and messaging.
Create consistent workflows across apps with drag-and-drop logic.
Understand endpoints, triggers, actions, and field mapping that power your no-code automation between GHL and 46elks.
An interface that lets apps talk to each other by exchanging requests and responses.
A lightweight callback mechanism where one app sends data to another when an event occurs.
A specific URL that exposes a resource or action in an API.
The process of aligning data fields across systems so data flows correctly.
When a user submits a form, send a tailored SMS via 46elks and route data into GHL for follow-up.
Capture form responses as contacts in 46elks to start a personalized drip campaign.
Use form data to schedule calls and trigger SMS reminders via 46elks.
Generate an API key for GHL with the forms.readonly scope and store credentials securely.
Connect GET /forms/ and GET /forms/submissions in your Zapier app connector and map fields.
Map form fields to 46elks contact fields and set up triggers.
The Forms API in GHL exposes endpoints to fetch forms and their submissions, enabling you to integrate form data with external apps like 46elks. This API is designed for no-code and low-code automation, so you can start syncing data without writing server-side code. Use the forms.readonly scope to safely read data and move it into 46elks for contact creation and messaging triggers.
You can start with a no-code approach using the Zapier app connector to connect the Forms API with 46elks. For advanced mappings or custom logic, you can add minimal code or use built-in field mapping and conditional steps. The key is to authenticate securely and map data fields accurately.
Essential endpoints for a basic flow are GET /forms/ to fetch forms and GET /forms/submissions to pull submissions. These endpoints let you populate 46elks contacts and trigger messages based on submissions. Additional endpoints can be added as your automation expands.
Field mapping aligns form fields with 46elks contact fields. Start by mapping submission_id, form_id, and submission data to corresponding 46elks fields. Use clear names and consistent formats to avoid data mismatches.
Authenticate using a GHL API key with the required scopes (forms.readonly) and, for 46elks, ensure secure token storage. If supported, OAuth tokens offer an additional layer of security and easier key rotation.
Yes. You can test with test forms or sample submissions. Use sandbox credentials if available and validate that mapping and triggers fire as expected before moving to production.
Consult the API documentation for the Forms API and the 46elks integration guide. You can also explore community templates and step-by-step walkthroughs to accelerate setup.
