Authenticate using OAuth 2.0 with the Workflows API. Use the provided client_id and client_secret, request the surveys.readonly scope, and configure redirect URIs in Zapier to complete the token exchange.
Zapier authenticates to GHL using OAuth 2.0. Set up the connection in your Zapier app and authorize access to the Workflows API, then test the connection.
– GET /surveys/ — Retrieve all surveys. – GET /surveys/submissions — Retrieve submissions for surveys.
Trigger: A new survey is created in the Workflows API
Actions: Retrieve surveys, map fields, and push data into Zapier for downstream steps
GET /surveys/
id, title, created_at, updated_at, owner
Trigger: A new submission arrives for a survey
Actions: Fetch submissions for a chosen survey and map fields to downstream apps
GET /surveys/submissions
submission_id, survey_id, responder_email, responses, submitted_at
Trigger: A submission completes and starts downstream actions
Actions: Map submission data to a CRM or analytics tool and trigger downstream workflows
GET /surveys/
title, status, last_submission_at, owner
Automate workflows without writing code
Move data between GHL and apps without custom integrations
Scale processes with repeatable, visual automations
This glossary defines endpoints, triggers, actions, fields, and data mappings used to connect GHL with the Zapier App Connector.
An API (Application Programming Interface) is a set of rules that enables software components to communicate and exchange data.
OAuth 2.0 is a secure authorization framework that issues access tokens to clients without sharing user passwords, with token refresh support.
An API endpoint is a specific URL that performs an action or returns data when called.
Data mapping aligns fields between systems so data transfers correctly.
Automatically push new survey data into your CRM when responses are submitted.
Aggregate submissions over time for trend analysis and reporting in your analytics tool.
Create nurture sequences based on survey responses and triggers across apps.
Register your app, obtain client_id and client_secret, and set redirect URIs.
Authorize the connection in Zapier and run tests to fetch sample surveys and submissions.
Create a Zap that uses a survey trigger and maps fields to your target app.
The Workflows API is the GHL endpoint set that exposes surveys and submissions. It enables read-only access to survey data for automation use cases. It is designed to be consumed by Zapier to drive workflows without writing code. You can list surveys with GET /surveys/ and view submissions with GET /surveys/submissions.
Authentication is done via OAuth 2.0. In Zapier, create a connection using the client_id and client_secret provided by the Workflows API and request the surveys.readonly scope. After authorization, test the connection to fetch sample data. If tokens expire, Zapier will refresh automatically.
Available endpoints currently include GET /surveys/ and GET /surveys/submissions. Each endpoint returns resources with fields such as id, title, created_at, and submission details. Refer to the API docs for a complete list of fields and supported filters.
Map core fields like id, title, created_at, and submission details to your target apps. Consider mapping user identifiers, timestamps, and custom response data for accurate automation. Use Zapier’s built-in field mapping to align data types.
Yes. Use test connections and sandbox or sample data to verify behavior without touching live data. Many endpoints support read-only operations suitable for testing.
Handle errors with retry logic and clear error messages. Implement exponential backoff for transient errors and check rate limits to avoid throttling.
Rate limits and scopes are defined by the Workflows API. In general, use the surveys.readonly scope for read access and monitor remaining quota in your app. Consult the latest docs for exact values and limits.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
