How to connect Social Media API to the Zapier App Connector

Connecting Social Media API with the Zapier App Connector for automated social workflows.

How to connect Social Media API with the Zapier App Connector

This guide shows you how to authenticate, configure endpoints, and start automating social workflows between the Social Media API (GHL) and the Zapier App Connector. You’ll learn how triggers, actions, and data mapping come together to manage posts, accounts, and CSV-based workflows without writing code.

Authentication for Social Media API

To begin, obtain your GHL Social Media API credentials and securely store tokens in Zapier. Use the appropriate OAuth flow or API keys to authorize calls from Zapier to the Social Media API.

Authentication for Zapier App Connector

In the Zapier App Connector, configure OAuth or API key-based access so the connector can securely call the Social Media API. Ensure the app has the required scopes for the endpoints you plan to use.

GHL Social Media API Endpoints

Endpoint 1: POST /bulk-disable-saas/:companyId; Endpoint 2: snapshots.readonly; Endpoint 3: GET /snapshots; Endpoint 4: socialplanner/account.readonly; Endpoint 5: GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/accounts; Endpoint 6: socialplanner/account.write; Endpoint 7: DELETE /social-media-posting/:locationId/accounts/:id; Endpoint 8: socialplanner/csv.readonly; Endpoint 9: GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/csv; Endpoint 10: GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/csv/:id; Endpoint 11: socialplanner/csv.write; Endpoint 12: POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/csv; Endpoint 13: POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/set-accounts; Endpoint 14: DELETE /social-media-posting/:locationId/csv/:id; Endpoint 15: PATCH /social-media-posting/:locationId/csv/:id; Endpoint 16: POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/bulk-delete; Endpoint 17: DELETE /social-media-posting/:locationId/csv/:csvId/post/:postId

Top 3 connection ideas for Social Media API and the Zapier App Connector

1) Bulk posting and CSV workflows

Trigger when a new CSV is uploaded or a batch of posts needs to be published across locations.

Actions include creating posts, updating statuses, and deleting posts in bulk based on the CSV data.

POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/csv

locationId, csvId, postId (as applicable per operation)

Keep account lists aligned between GHL and your marketing stack with set-accounts and synchronization workflows.

3 Steps to Connect Social Media API with Zapier App Connector

Step 1: Authorize and configure endpoints

Connect the Social Media API to the Zapier App Connector by completing the OAuth flow or API key setup and selecting the endpoints you plan to use.

Step 2: Map fields

Map fields such as locationId, csvId, and postId to the corresponding Zapier fields and save your mappings.

Step 3: Test and deploy

Run tests to confirm triggers and actions work as expected, resolve any mapping issues, and enable your automation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What authentication methods are supported?

GHL Social Media API supports OAuth and API key-based authentication. Choose the method your organization uses and store tokens securely in Zapier’s vault or your secret manager. If authentication errors occur, re-authenticate, rotate credentials, and verify that your app has the required scopes (e.g., saas/company.write) to access the endpoints you plan to use.

The integration exposes 17 endpoints covering accounts, CSVs, posts, and bulk actions. Not every workflow needs all endpoints, so pick only what you need and reference the ENDPOINTLIST for details. Remember to include required path parameters like locationId and IDs when wiring triggers and actions together.

Yes. You can upload CSVs, read them, and perform actions on posts or accounts via the CSV endpoints. This enables bulk publishing and management without manual steps. Always validate your CSV format before upload and ensure field mappings are correct for reliable processing.

Usage limits depend on your Zapier plan and the Social Media API quotas. Monitor call volume and batch requests when possible to stay within limits. If you anticipate high volume, stagger requests and leverage bulk endpoints to reduce overhead.

Data mapping involves aligning fields such as locationId, csvId, postId, and account IDs between GHL and Zapier. Use clear field names and test mappings in a sandbox workflow. This helps ensure data flows correctly during triggers and actions.

Error handling surfaces HTTP status codes, messages, and retry guidance. Use Zapier task history and logs to diagnose failures. If issues persist, review credentials, endpoint permissions, and ensure required scopes are granted.

No-code automation is possible with prebuilt Zapier templates. Connect the Social Media API endpoints and configure triggers and actions without coding. For advanced customization, you can add code steps or webhooks, but the core flows are designed to be no-code friendly.
