Authenticate the Workflows API using OAuth 2.0 with the surveys.readonly scope to safely read survey data from GHL.
Grant 4aGoodCause access to read surveys and write contact updates, so automation can respond to survey activity.
Endpoints used: GET /surveys/ to fetch surveys; GET /surveys/submissions to fetch submissions.
Trigger: A new or updated survey is detected in GHL and pulled into 4aGoodCause for follow‑up.
Actions: Create or update 4aGoodCause contacts based on survey data and kick off a welcome or nurture workflow.
Method Path: GET /surveys/
Key fields: id, title, created_at, status
Trigger: Submissions arrive or change in Workflows API and update records in 4aGoodCause
Actions: Update respondent profiles and trigger follow‑ups in 4aGoodCause
Method Path: GET /surveys/submissions
Key fields: submission_id, survey_id, respondent_email, submitted_at
Trigger: Detailed results retrieved and pushed to 4aGoodCause
Actions: Enrich contact records and update dashboards in 4aGoodCause
Method Path: GET /surveys/{survey_id}
Key fields: survey_id, question_id, response

Fetch onboarding surveys with GET /surveys/ and start a welcome automation in 4aGoodCause.
Use GET /surveys/submissions to segment respondents and tailor messages in 4aGoodCause.
Hook submission events into automations that alert teams and update dashboards.
Authorize the app in GHL and select scopes including surveys.readonly to read surveys.
Test endpoints GET /surveys/ and GET /surveys/submissions to verify data flow.
Create workflows in 4aGoodCause that react to survey data and submissions.
The Workflows API integration for 4aGoodCause enables seamless data flow between your GHL surveys and automation workflows. It lets you pull survey data into 4aGoodCause to trigger onboarding, nurture sequences, and follow‑ups without custom code. The setup uses secure tokens and scoped access to protect data while enabling real‑time sync where supported.
No coding is required if you use the built‑in connectors and standard endpoints. You configure the app in GHL, grant the necessary scopes, and map data fields to 4aGoodCause. Advanced users can extend functionality with custom fields, but the core flows work with no‑code configurations.
The primary endpoints are GET /surveys/ to fetch surveys and GET /surveys/submissions to fetch responses. Additional endpoints may be used for detailed survey data when needed. Data is mapped to contacts and leads in 4aGoodCause to support automations.
Security is ensured through OAuth 2.0 tokens and scoped permissions. Data access is limited to the defined surveys.readonly scope, and sensitive actions require explicit consent. Regular token rotation and auditing help maintain a secure connection.
Yes. A sandbox or staging environment is recommended to validate the connection before going live. You can simulate survey creation and submissions to verify data flow and automations without affecting production data.
Errors are surfaced with descriptive messages and retry logic. Failed calls can be retried with exponential backoff, and common issues like expired tokens or missing scopes are surfaced with guidance for remediation.
API documentation for the Workflows API endpoints is available in the developer portal and in the integration guide. It includes endpoint paths, required parameters, and sample requests and responses to help you implement quickly.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
