GHL requires OAuth 2.0 with scopes for surveys.readonly to read survey data securely.
Connect Zapier to Workflows API by entering your OAuth client credentials in the Zapier connection page.
GET /surveys/ — List all surveys; GET /surveys/submissions — Retrieve submissions for surveys
Trigger: When a new survey is created in GHL, pull the list of surveys using GET /surveys/.
Actions: Retrieve survey details, map fields (id, title, created_at) to Zapier, and pass to downstream steps.
GET /surveys/
id, title, created_at
Trigger: New or updated submissions for a survey.
Actions: Retrieve submission data, export to a row in a spreadsheet or CRM.
GET /surveys/submissions
survey_id, submission_id, respondent_email
Trigger: On-demand update of a survey record.
Actions: Update survey fields, sync with Zapier.
PATCH /surveys/{id}
id, title, status
Rapid automation without writing code.
Seamless data flow between surveys and downstream apps.
Reusable templates and zaps to accelerate deployments.
Key elements include endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, and data mapping when connecting GHL Workflows API to Zapier.
Application Programming Interface: exposes endpoints to access data from Workflows API.
A URL that points to a specific resource in an API; GET /surveys/ is an endpoint.
A standard for authorizing access to APIs without sharing passwords.
Defines the level of access granted by an API token.
Turn new survey submissions into Zapier workflows to trigger emails, tasks, or CRM updates.
Map survey fields to CRM contact fields to maintain up-to-date records.
Use Zapier to schedule reminders when survey responses indicate follow-up is needed.
In GHL, generate an OAuth client and grant the necessary scopes (surveys.readonly) to authorize Zapier.
Add a new connection using the Workflows API credentials in Zapier.
Create a Zap that triggers on survey data and routes to your tools.
Yes. The Workflows API uses OAuth 2.0; you can connect via Zapier with the proper scopes. You can fetch surveys with GET /surveys/. If you need more, you’ll have to consult the API docs for rate limits.
No heavy coding required; Zapier’s UI can create actions that call endpoints. Advanced users can add custom code steps if needed.
Available endpoints include GET /surveys/ and GET /surveys/submissions. New endpoints may be added; check docs.
Authenticate via OAuth; you authorize Zapier’s connection. Use the connection token to access the endpoints.
Yes, you can retrieve submissions for a given survey. Use GET /surveys/submissions with the survey_id.
Fields depend on endpoint; for surveys: id, title, created_at. For submissions: submission_id, survey_id, respondent_email.
Rate limits are defined by your GHL plan and API usage. If you hit a limit, implement backoff in your Zapier workflows.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
