Use your GHL API key to securely authorize Zapier access and enable endpoints like /surveys/ and /surveys/submissions.
In Zapier, connect the GHL Workflows API app by selecting the API key option and granting permission to read surveys and submissions.
– GET /surveys/ (Surveys overview) – GET /surveys/submissions (Submissions for surveys)
Trigger: a new survey submission is created in GHL. Actions: push submission data to your CRM, create a row in a spreadsheet, or start a marketing workflow.
Actions: push submission data to your CRM, create a row in a spreadsheet, or start a marketing workflow.
GET /surveys/submissions
submission_id, survey_id, timestamp, respondent_email
Trigger: new or updated surveys detected in GHL
Actions: compile survey data and send to dashboards or BI tools.
GET /surveys/
survey_id, name, status
Trigger: a new submission arrives
Actions: notify teams, create tasks, or trigger follow-up campaigns.
GET /surveys/submissions
submission_id, timestamp, status
Build powerful automations without writing a single line of code.
Sync data in real time between GHL and hundreds of apps you already use.
Launch new automations quickly with ready-made templates and triggers.
Elements include endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, and the data fields you map between GHL and Zapier.
A specific URL in an API that exposes a function or data set.
The process of verifying identity to authorize access between apps.
Events in GHL that start a Zapier workflow (for example, a new submission).
Automation designed to run using triggers and actions without writing code.
Whenever a respondent completes a survey, automatically create or update a lead in your CRM via Zapier.
Aggregate submissions and feed dashboards in Google Sheets or BI tools.
Trigger marketing sequences based on survey answers to personalize outreach.
Retrieve your Workflows API key in GHL and authorize Zapier to access surveys and submissions.
Create a new Zap, select GHL Workflows API, and connect using your API key.
Map submission fields to your app and run a test to ensure data flows correctly.
To authenticate, generate an API key in GHL and paste it into the GHL app connection settings in Zapier. Save the connection and run a test to confirm access to /surveys/ and /surveys/submissions. If you see errors, check permissions and ensure the API key is scoped correctly. For added security, rotate keys regularly and use environment-level credentials.
The Workflows API exposes endpoints for surveys and submissions, including GET /surveys/ and GET /surveys/submissions, as well as additional endpoints for creating and updating records. Review the API docs to understand permissions, rate limits, and data fields; test endpoints in a safe environment before going live.
No coding is required. The GHL Workflows API integration with Zapier is designed for no-code automation using triggers, actions, and data mapping. If you need advanced logic, you can insert filters, paths, and multi-step Zaps to handle complex scenarios.

Data can sync in real-time depending on Zapier polling, with near-instant updates when a submission occurs. For critical workflows, configure multiple Zaps and ensure your triggers are correctly set to minimize latency.
GHL and Zapier impose API rate limits. Plan your Zaps to avoid hitting limits by batching or staggering tasks. If limits are reached, implement backoff logic and retry rules, and consider upgrading plans for higher throughput.
API keys are found in your GHL account under Settings > API Access. Copy the key and paste into Zapier. Keep keys secure, rotate regularly, and never share keys in public channels.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
