To begin, generate a GHL API key (and OAuth if required) and save it in Formatter by Zapier as a new connection for Opportunities API.
In Formatter by Zapier, create a new connection using your GHL API credentials. Test the connection to confirm access.
GET /opportunities/search; GET /opportunities/:id; GET /opportunities/pipelines; POST /opportunities; PUT /opportunities/:id; PUT /opportunities/:id/status; DELETE /opportunities/:id
Use as a Zapier trigger to start workflows when matching opportunities are found or updated.
Actions can include creating records in your destination app, updating existing ones, or sending notifications.
GET /opportunities/search
id, name, stage, value, close_date
Lookup action to fetch a single opportunity on demand or via a Zap step.
Map fields like id, name, status, value, close_date to your app.
GET /opportunities/:id
id, name, status, value, close_date
Fetch all pipelines to drive pipeline-based automations and reporting.
Map pipeline names, IDs, and stages for downstream apps.
GET /opportunities/pipelines
id, name, stages
Build and deploy automations without writing code using prebuilt triggers, searches, and actions.
Prototype workflows quickly by connecting GHL data to any app via Zapier templates.
Save time with reusable steps and field mappings that speed up deployment.
This section defines the core elements: endpoints, authentication, data mapping, and triggers that power the GHL to Formatter by Zapier integration.
A set of endpoints exposed by a service that allow programmatic access to data and actions.
A specific URL path combined with an HTTP method to perform an action on a resource.
The method used to verify identity before granting access to API resources (API keys, OAuth, etc.).
A credential used to authorize API requests to GHL.
Set up a Zap to update opportunity status when sale stages change, ensuring teams see current progress.
Automatically create opportunities from new leads to speed up follow-up and forecasting.
Pull pipelines into a dashboard for real-time visibility and reporting.
In GHL, generate an API key with at least read permissions.
In Formatter by Zapier, choose the Opportunities API and enter your GHL credentials to authorize.
Run a test, pull sample data, and map fields to your target app.
Yes. Formatter by Zapier provides no-code connections to GHL APIs. You configure a new connection using your GHL API credentials and then select endpoints to trigger, search, or act on data. The result is automation without custom code. If you run into permission issues, check that the API key has at least read access for your endpoints. If needed, adjust OAuth scopes in GHL.
The Opportunities API supports endpoints for searching opportunities, retrieving a specific opportunity, listing pipelines, creating and updating opportunities, updating status, and deleting opportunities. Use the Zapier formatter to map fields and chain actions across apps.
Yes. You can update opportunities from Zapier using PUT /opportunities/:id or PUT /opportunities/:id/status. Map fields to your destination app and include required data like name, stage, and close date. Ensure your API key has write permissions.
In Formatter by Zapier, create a test step after connection setup to verify the response payload. Use sample data from GHL to confirm field mappings. If tests fail, recheck endpoint permissions and credentials.
Permissions required depend on the actions. Read access is enough for triggers and lookups; write access is needed for updates and deletes. Ensure scopes are correct in GHL and are reflected in the Formatter connection.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan. The API returns rate limit headers you can monitor in Zapier to avoid hitting limits. If you approach limits, spread requests or batch when possible.
Endpoint details are documented in the GHL API reference. In Formatter by Zapier, select the API and you can view endpoints, required parameters, and response fields as you map data.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
