To use the Social Media API with Zapier App Connector, register your GHL account in the Zapier integration and authorize access with OAuth 2.0 tokens. The scope saas/company.write enables you to manage posts, accounts, and CSV data.
Zapier securely stores your credentials and uses OAuth 2.0 to access the Social Media API. Keep the connection authorized and refresh tokens as needed.

Automate repetitive tasks without custom code, saving time and reducing human error.
Centralize control of posts, CSV imports, and account management from a single workflow.
Scale campaigns quickly by duplicating and tweaking Zaps for multiple locations.
Understand the building blocks of integrating the Social Media API with Zapier App Connector, from endpoints to data formats and authentication.
A set of defined endpoints that allow software to communicate and perform actions programmatically.
An authorization framework that enables secure access to APIs without sharing passwords.
Comma-separated values; a common format for importing/exporting tabular data.
A specific URL path in an API that performs a defined operation when called.
Set up a Zap that pulls snapshots on a schedule and sends a summarized report to your team via email or Slack.
Create a workflow that reads a CSV file and automatically schedules or publishes posts to multiple locations.
Design templates to keep account lists consistent across locations by syncing accounts from Social Media API to Zapier.
Register the Social Media API in Zapier, note the client ID and secret, and set the scope to saas/company.write.
Use OAuth 2.0 in the Zapier App Connector to authorize access to your Social Media API and select required endpoints.
Choose triggers and actions from the available endpoints, test thoroughly, and deploy your automation across locations.
To start, you need a Zapier account and credentials for the Social Media API (client ID, client secret, and redirect URL). Ensure the scope is set to saas/company.write so you can manage posts, accounts, and CSV data. Keep your credentials secure and never share them in public channels. In the Zapier App Connector, configure the OAuth 2.0 flow and authorize the connection to your Social Media API to enable automated workflows.
For posting and analytics, focus on endpoints like /social-media-posting/:locationId/accounts, /social-media-posting/:locationId/csv, and /snapshots. Use GET /snapshots for analytics data and POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/csv to import content via CSV. Manage accounts with /social-media-posting/:locationId/set-accounts and related account endpoints. This combination covers content publishing, account management, and performance insights within Zapier automations.
Zapier uses OAuth 2.0 to authorize access to the Social Media API. When you connect the app, you’ll be prompted to grant permissions and a token will be issued for API calls. Tokens should be refreshed as needed according to your provider’s rules. Keep your refresh flows configured to avoid interrupted automations, and rotate credentials periodically for security.
Rate limits vary by endpoint and plan, so design Zaps with retries and backoff in mind. Prefer batching actions (e.g., CSV processing) where possible to minimize individual calls. Monitor usage in Zapier task history and adjust workflow frequency accordingly. If you anticipate spikes, stagger triggers or batch multiple changes into a single workflow to stay within limits.
Yes. CSV imports are a key part of automating content workflows. You can POST to /social-media-posting/:locationId/csv to upload, then process rows to publish or schedule posts. Ensure your CSV format aligns with the API expectations and validate data before triggering posts. Remember to monitor the CSV processing endpoint for errors and implement retry logic where appropriate.
Account and CSV management is handled via endpoints like /social-media-posting/:locationId/set-accounts, GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/accounts, and GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/csv. Use these to add, update, or remove accounts and CSVs in your Zapier workflows. Automate reconciliation across locations by maintaining consistent locationId mappings and using structured data fields for accounts and CSV references.
Endpoint paths are exposed in the integration documentation and in the placeholder list above (e.g., /social-media-posting/:locationId/accounts, /snapshots, /csv endpoints). In Zapier, you’ll select triggers and actions that map to these endpoints so your workflows call the right route. If you need a quick reference, review the endpoint list included with the integration setup or consult your developer portal for the latest paths and required parameters.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
