Frequently Asked Questions

How do I authenticate with the GHL Social Media API using Zapier App Connector?

To authenticate, configure OAuth for the Zapier App Connector and request the saas/company.write scope with your GHL API app. Once the user grants access, store the access token securely in Zapier and use it to authorize subsequent API calls. Regularly refresh tokens as needed according to your token policy. In addition, verify that the token has permission to access endpoints 1, 4, 5, and 9-16 for complete workflow coverage.

The primary scope required is saas/company.write to manage SaaS accounts and related data. Depending on your workflow, you may also need read-only scopes like snapshots.readonly or accounts.readonly to fetch data without modification. Always follow the principle of least privilege and request only the scopes your automation needs.

Yes. Endpoints 8-16 are designed for CSV handling and bulk posting workflows. You can upload, read, update, and delete CSV records, associate accounts, and perform bulk posting operations. Use ENDPOINTLIST as a reference to implement these actions in Zapier.

Token expiration is handled via refresh tokens. Store refresh tokens securely and implement automatic token refresh before expiry. If a token becomes invalid, prompt re-authentication and re-establish the connection to minimize downtime.

Common data fields include companyId, locationId, csvId, postId, and id. These identify the target company, location, specific CSV, and individual posts or records. Mapping these fields correctly ensures accurate synchronization across GHL and Zapier workflows.

Yes. Endpoints have usage limits that vary by plan. Monitor your quota in the Zapier app and implement exponential backoff for retries. If you anticipate spikes, pre-check quotas or tier up your plan to ensure smooth operation.

If you encounter errors, check token validity, endpoint permissions, and payload structure. Review API response codes for hints (e.g., 401 for unauthorized, 403 for forbidden). Enable detailed logging in Zapier to pinpoint misconfigurations and verify that triggers and actions align with your endpoints.
