Authenticate API calls with credentials issued in your GHL dashboard. Use the approved method and keep keys secure. Scope: saas/location.read enables reading location data from the API.
Use the Gravity Forms connector to authorize the Snapshots API link. Enter the client credentials and grant permissions from your Snapshots API account.
– GET /locations — Retrieve your locations. Other endpoints are available in the API reference.
Trigger: Form submission to populate a locations dropdown.
Actions: fetch location data from GET /locations and map to form fields.
GET /locations
location_id, location_name
Trigger: Submit a form with new location details
Actions: POST to /locations with mapped fields; confirm creation back to the user.
POST /locations
name, address, city, country
Trigger: Location data changes or on-demand sync
Actions: GET /locations to pull updates and map to form fields or CRM fields
GET /locations
location_id, location_name, updated_at
Automates data synchronization without writing code—save time and reduce errors.
Keeps location data consistent across Gravity Forms submissions and Snapshots in real time.
Enables rapid workflow automation with point-and-click configuration and API lookups.
Key elements to know: endpoints (URLs and methods), triggers (form events), actions (API calls), and authentication requirements when linking Gravity Forms to Snapshots API.
A specific URL path and HTTP method that triggers an action on a web service.
OAuth 2.0 authorization enables secure access without sharing secrets; issued tokens grant scoped access.
An event in Gravity Forms that starts the Snapshots API call.
The API operation performed in response to a Trigger (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE).
Map Gravity Forms fields to Snapshots API location fields to automatically create locations on form submit.
Fetch /locations on form load and populate dropdowns with current locations.
Provide live suggestions as users type by querying GET /locations in the background.
Generate a client ID/secret in Snapshots API and set scope to saas/location.read.
Enter your API credentials and endpoint base URL in the Gravity Forms connector and select the location read scope.
Submit a test form and confirm data flows to Snapshots and back into Gravity Forms.
The required scope for this integration is saas/location.read. This enables reading location data from the Snapshots API. You can manage scopes in the API dashboard. Keep your credentials secure and rotate them periodically. If you require write access, request the appropriate scope from your API admin, but this guide uses read-only to minimize risk.
The primary endpoint used to fetch locations is GET /locations. You can map the response data to Gravity Forms fields (for example, populating a location dropdown). Use the response to drive form logic and workflow decisions within Gravity Forms.
No heavy coding is required if you use the Gravity Forms connector together with the Snapshots API. Basic configuration to map fields and authenticate is typically sufficient. Some light mapping and error handling will improve reliability.
Yes. You can create new locations by POSTing to /locations with the required fields. You can also update existing locations via PUT/PATCH to /locations/{id} if supported by your API plan. Always validate data before sending.
To test the integration, submit a test Gravity Forms entry and verify the Snapshots API reflects the new or updated data. Check API responses in your gateway and review any form feed logs for errors.
API credentials are issued from the Snapshots API dashboard within your GHL account. Look for client ID/secret, API keys, or OAuth tokens, and store them securely in the Gravity Forms connector settings.
If you hit rate limits, pause briefly and retry with exponential backoff. Consider caching frequently requested data or upgrading your API plan to increase quotas.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
