How to connect Zapier App Connector to Workflows API

Connecting Workflows API with Zapier App Connector for seamless automation

How to connect Workflows API and Zapier App Connector

This guide explains how to link the Workflows API (GHL API) with the Zapier App Connector (APPNAME) to automate survey-related workflows without coding.

Authentication for Workflows API

Workflows API uses secure OAuth 2.0 authentication with specified scopes (surveys.readonly). Generate and manage tokens to authorize requests from APPNAME.

Authentication for Zapier App Connector

In the Zapier App Connector, configure OAuth 2.0 credentials to authorize APPNAME access to the Workflows API while keeping credentials secure.

Endpoint Reference

– GET /surveys/ — List all surveys – GET /surveys/submissions — Retrieve survey submissions – Endpoint3-Endpoint17: Additional endpoints can be exposed as features are enabled; this page highlights the available endpoints for the re:catch integration.

Top 3 connections between Workflows API and Zapier App Connector

Connection 1: Submissions Trigger

Trigger when a new survey submission is created in Workflows API, initiating a Zapier workflow to route data to connected apps.

Actions include pulling submission details, mapping fields, and sending data to CRM, helpdesk, or notification tools via APPNAME.

GET /surveys/submissions

submission_id, survey_id, timestamp

Connection 2: Surveys Lookup

Trigger periodically or on-demand to check for new or updated surveys in Workflows API.

Actions include listing surveys, updating local records, and syncing metadata to downstream apps.

GET /surveys/

survey_id, title, status

Connection 3: Submissions Archive

Trigger for archival submissions to trigger retention workflows or compliance checks.

Actions include archiving data, exporting to external storage, and notifying relevant teams.

GET /surveys/submissions?status=archived

submission_id

No-code benefits of connecting Workflows API with Zapier App Connector

Rapid setup: launch automations in minutes with a no-code bridge between Workflows API and APPNAME.

Adaptable automation: modify triggers and actions without writing code as your processes evolve.

Scalable workflows: roll out consistent automation across teams with centralized controls.

Key Terms and Glossary

API Endpoint

A defined URL path you call to access data or perform an action within an API (for example, GET /surveys/).

Authentication

Methods used to verify identity and grant access, commonly OAuth 2.0 tokens or API keys.

Webhook

A mechanism for an API to push real-time data to another system when events occur.

Rate limits

3 steps to connect Workflows API with Zapier App Connector

Step 1: Authorize connections

Create OAuth credentials for both GHL and the Zapier App Connector and authorize access between them.

Step 2: Configure endpoints

Choose endpoints to use (e.g., GET /surveys/, GET /surveys/submissions) within the Zapier app and map fields accordingly.

Step 3: Test your workflow

Run end-to-end tests to verify data flow, triggers, and actions, then deploy to live.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a no-code way to connect GHL's Workflows API to Zapier App Connector?

Yes. You can connect the Workflows API to Zapier App Connector using a no-code UI. Set up OAuth credentials, authorize APPNAME to access your Workflows data, and configure triggers and actions without writing code. This makes it easy to start automating surveys right away. In practice, you’ll connect your GHL account to APPNAME, select the endpoints you want (such as /surveys/ and /surveys/submissions), and map fields to the apps you use daily.

OAuth 2.0 is the recommended authentication flow for this integration. It provides secure token-based access and supports scoped permissions like surveys.readonly to limit what APPNAME can do. Regular token rotation and secure storage of credentials are advised. If you prefer API keys in your environment, those can be used where supported, but OAuth 2.0 offers a safer, more scalable approach for ongoing automations.

Supported endpoints for this page include GET /surveys/ to list surveys and GET /surveys/submissions to retrieve submissions. Additional endpoints can be exposed as features are enabled, but the primary focus here is on these two for building common survey workflows. You can combine these endpoints with Zapier actions to push data to CRM, helpdesk, or analytics tools.

Yes. You can filter results by date or status where supported by the endpoint. For example, you can fetch submissions from a date range or retrieve only surveys with a specific status. This helps you tailor automations to meet reporting or operational needs. Always check the endpoint documentation for exact query parameters and supported filters.

Testing the connection is typically done via a trial run in the Zapier App Connector. Create a test trigger, run a sample search for GET /surveys/ or /surveys/submissions, and verify that the data maps correctly to your target apps. If errors occur, review OAuth scopes, endpoint permissions, and field mappings to correct the data flow.

Rate limits depend on your plan and the API’s configured quotas. If you hit limits, consider spreading requests over time, caching results, or batching data in smaller chunks. Implement retries with backoff and monitor usage with the app’s analytics to avoid throttling.
