Authenticate your Forms API integration using secure tokens or OAuth as required by the GHL account. This ensures that only trusted apps can access form data.
In Zapier, securely store your API key and secret for the Forms API and use token based methods or OAuth as supported. Protect credentials and rotate them regularly.
Key endpoints include GET /forms/ to list forms and GET /forms/submissions to fetch submissions. Additional endpoints may be available for future enhancements.
Trigger: On demand pull of form definitions to map form metadata to Zapier fields.
Actions: Retrieve form definitions and align form field mappings for downstream automations.
GET /forms/
id, name, fields, created_at
Trigger: New or updated form submissions from selected forms.
Actions: Pull submission data and map to Zapier, including timestamp and field values.
GET /forms/submissions
submission_id, form_id, submitted_at, fields
Trigger: Periodic sync with additional endpoints as needed.
Actions: Access per form endpoints to retrieve detailed submission data.
GET /forms/{form_id}/submissions
form_id, submission_id, submitted_at, data
Zero code connection between the Forms API and the Zapier App Connector for quick deployment.
Automated data flows reduce manual data entry and errors in campaigns.
Easy field mapping from forms to campaigns without writing code.
Core terms and processes to help you design the integration: API, endpoints, authentication, and data mapping.
An interface that allows software to communicate with another system and exchange data.
A specific URL path that provides access to a resource in an API.
A method to verify identity and grant access to API resources.
A callback URL that receives real time data when a specified event occurs.
Route new form submissions directly into GHL campaigns and sequences with automatic tagging.
Use form fields to assign tags and create smart lists in GHL.
Set up dashboards and alerts when new form data arrives.
Obtain your client_id and client_secret or API key from the GHL account and enter them into Zapier.
Add GET /forms/ and GET /forms/submissions as separate connections and map fields.
Run test calls to verify data flow and adjust mappings.
The Forms API allows you to access form definitions and submissions from GHL. You can list forms and pull submission data for use in Zapier automations. No code is required to start linking forms to your campaigns. You can customize field mappings in Zapier to fit your data structure.
This integration is designed with a read only scope for retrieving forms and submissions. Writing or updating form data typically requires elevated permissions or a different endpoint. If you need write access, consult your GHL account administrator for the appropriate scope.
Authentication is handled via secure credentials in Zapier. You supply an API key or OAuth credentials from your GHL Forms API setup. Store these securely in Zapier and select the correct scope forms.readonly for read access.
The available endpoints shown in this guide include GET /forms/ and GET /forms/submissions. Additional endpoints may exist depending on your GHL configuration. Always refer to the latest API docs for a full list.
Yes. You can fetch submissions by calling GET /forms/submissions. You can filter by form id and date range to narrow results and feed them into Zapier automations.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
