Authenticate with a valid Snapshots API key and ensure your app has the saas location read scope to keep data access secure.
Cognito Forms credentials are used to establish the link with Snapshots API generate an API key or OAuth token in your Cognito Forms account and add it to the GHL connector.
Endpoint 1 GET /locations retrieve location data. Endpoint 2 to 54 are defined in the API docs and may be used as needed.

Snapshots API provides a scalable way to programmatically access and update data from Cognito Forms. It exposes endpoints to read form data and enrich your CRM or analytics workflows. This enables powerful automation without manual data entry. You can use the endpoints to pull location data and integrate it into your reports. The combination with Cognito Forms helps you build robust no code automations.
No code is not a requirement but it is designed for folks who want quick results. The GHL connector lets you map fields and set triggers without writing code. If you need custom logic you can extend with simple workflows but most setups work out of the box.
You typically need the saas location.read scope to access location data. Ensure your API key or OAuth token grants the necessary permissions. When connecting through the GHL panel you will configure these scopes during setup.
Yes. You can select which Cognito Forms fields map to Snapshots API fields. Use the field mapping in the connector to control which data is sent and how it appears in Snapshots.
Security is handled by API keys or OAuth tokens and by restricting the scope to only what is needed. Always store credentials securely and rotate keys periodically.
Sync frequency can be configured in the GHL connector. Typical options include near real time or intervals such as every 5 15 or 30 minutes depending on your plan and needs.
API docs for Snapshots API are available in your Snapshots developer portal. Use the endpoint list and examples to guide your implementation within the GHL Connector.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
