To authorize requests to the Workflows API, use the API key provided in your GHL account and keep it secure. This key is sent with each request to verify your identity.
In ActiveCampaign Postmark, generate an API token and attach it to the Zapier connector to authorize actions like sending emails or updating contacts.
– GET /surveys/ — Retrieve all surveys. – GET /surveys/submissions — Retrieve submissions for a survey.
When a new submission is created in Workflows API, trigger an email workflow in ActiveCampaign Postmark to reach the respondent.
Actions: update the contact with submission data; optionally add a tag or custom field.
GET /surveys/submissions
Key fields: survey_id, submission_id, respondent_email
Trigger: when a contact is updated or a condition is met, send a transactional email through ActiveCampaign Postmark.
Actions: create or update contacts, queue emails, log delivery.
POST /emails/send
Key fields: recipient_email, template_id, substitution_values
Trigger: after a submission is processed, update contact fields and status in ActiveCampaign Postmark.
Actions: update contact record, apply tags, log the submission event.
PUT /contacts/{contact_id}
Key fields: contact_id, last_submission_id, status

A quick glossary of terms used in this guide: APIs, endpoints, authentication, webhooks, and data mapping.
An API is a defined interface that lets two software systems talk to each other and exchange data.
Verification of identity to grant access to an API or service, usually via API keys or OAuth.
A way for applications to send real-time data to another app via HTTP callbacks.
A URL that exposes a resource or action for an API.
Trigger a personalized welcome email as soon as a respondent submits a survey.
Automatically adjust lead score and schedule next actions based on responses.
Tag and segment contacts by survey results to run precise campaigns in Postmark.
In GHL, generate API keys; in ActiveCampaign Postmark, create an API token.
Select GHL as the source, APPNAME as the destination, and map fields between endpoints.
Run tests, confirm data flows correctly, and enable automation in production.
The Workflows API exposes resources like surveys and submissions that help automate interactions. By connecting to APPNAME, you can trigger emails and update contacts automatically. To get started, generate your API key in GHL and obtain an API token in ActiveCampaign Postmark, then add them to your Zapier connection and test.
No-code options are available through the Zapier App Connector, allowing you to build flows without writing code. For advanced users, custom field mapping and conditional logic can be applied to tailor the integration. If you need deeper customization, you can leverage the endpoints and webhooks to create complex automations that fit your business processes.
A basic setup uses the endpoints for retrieving surveys and submissions (GET /surveys/ and GET /surveys/submissions). These provide the data triggers needed to start workflows in APPNAME. Additional endpoints can be added later to extend capabilities, such as sending emails or updating contacts, as your use case grows.
Authentication typically uses API keys or tokens exchanged during setup. Store credentials securely in your integration platform and rotate keys periodically. Always use secure connections (HTTPS) and avoid exposing keys in client-side code or logs.
Yes. Use the testing or sandbox modes provided by both GHL and APPNAME to verify data flow without impacting production data. Run end-to-end tests, confirm field mappings, and validate that triggers, actions, and data updates occur as expected before going live.
Monitor activity with built-in logs and dashboards in your integration tool. Look for failed requests, latency, and data mismatches, and set up alerts for any errors. Regularly review delivery rates, open/click metrics, and contact updates to ensure ongoing accuracy.
API credentials are accessible in your GHL account (for the Workflows API) and in ActiveCampaign Postmark (for the app token). Store them securely and follow rotation policies. If you lose credentials, regenerate them from the respective dashboards and update your connection promptly.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
