To securely access Action Network data via the Workflows API, create an API key with the required scope: surveys.readonly, and configure OAuth settings as needed.
Authorize Action Network in your GHL account by granting the requested permissions and linking your app to the Workflows API so you can pull surveys and submissions.
Available endpoints: GET /surveys/ to list surveys; GET /surveys/submissions to retrieve submissions; Additional endpoints are available as you expand the integration.
Trigger: A need for survey data prompts an on-demand pull or scheduled fetch of the latest surveys.
Actions: Fetch surveys, map fields to your workflow, and start downstream automations.
GET /surveys/
Key fields: id, title, description, status
Trigger: Pull survey submissions when a survey is completed or on a fixed interval.
Actions: Retrieve submissions, map fields, and trigger downstream workflows.
GET /surveys/submissions
Key fields: submission_id, survey_id, respondent, answers, submitted_at
Trigger: Real-time submissions push from Action Network to GHL when events occur.
Actions: Receive webhook payloads, parse data, and initiate workflows instantly.
POST /webhooks/submissions
Key fields: event_type, payload_id, timestamp
Automate survey data collection and routing into your favorite workflows without writing code.
Leverage real-time data and triggers to shorten response times and improve reporting.
Centralize insights by surfacing Action Network data in dashboards and automations inside GHL.
Key elements: API endpoints, authentication, data mapping, and workflow automation processes.
Definition: A programmable interface that enables your apps to talk to each other and exchange data, such as surveys and submissions.
Definition: A specific URL and HTTP method used to perform an action within an API.
Definition: A real-time push mechanism that sends data to your app when an event occurs, enabling instant updates.
Definition: An authorization framework that allows apps to access user data securely without sharing passwords.
Description: Use the integration to automatically send survey invites based on CRM events and track responses in GHL.
Description: Build live dashboards by streaming submissions into GHL workflows.
Description: Trigger tailored messages depending on responses.
Create an API key with the surveys.readonly scope and note the client ID and secret if applicable.
Enter endpoint paths (GET /surveys/, GET /surveys/submissions) and map fields to your workflows.
Run tests with sample data, verify data in your dashboards, and monitor the integration after launch.
To authorize, generate an API key for the Workflows API with the surveys.readonly scope and connect it to Action Network within your GHL account. Ensure you grant the least-privilege permissions and keep credentials secure. Test the connection in a staging environment before going live to validate data flow and mappings.
Currently supported endpoints include GET /surveys/ and GET /surveys/submissions for reading data. Additional endpoints can be added as the integration evolves. If you need others, check the API docs and request access.
Map response fields to your GHL fields (survey_id -> surveyId, answers -> responses) and ensure types align. Consider using field rules for data normalization and deduplication.
Yes. You can use the no-code automation builder in GHL to set up triggers based on survey responses and actions to downstream tasks. For more complex logic, you may extend with custom code blocks if available.
Data sync is near real-time when using webhooks; scheduled pulls can be configured for less frequent updates. Latency depends on Action Network and API usage limits.
Scopes required include surveys.readonly to read data. If you need write access, request appropriate scopes from the API provider. Always follow the least-privilege principle.
Common issues include incorrect endpoint paths, invalid keys, and field mapping mismatches. Check authorization, review error messages, and refer to API docs.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
