Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Social Media API and what can it do with Accelo?

The Social Media API provides programmatic control over your social publishing workflow within Accelo. You can create accounts, upload and manage CSVs, schedule posts, and retrieve snapshots for reporting. This integration enables no-code automation, letting marketers build repeatable processes through visual workflows. It also exposes endpoints for deeper customization if you choose to code.

Yes. You can typically set up triggers and actions without writing code using the app connector and endpoints. If needed, you can extend the integration with custom requests. The no-code approach covers most common publishing, CSV and reporting needs.

Endpoints are grouped by function: accounts (creation and management), CSV handling, posting, and snapshots. Use accounts endpoints to link people and locations, CSV endpoints to upload and manage content, and the posting endpoints to publish and archive posts. Snapshots give you performance data for reporting.

Security relies on OAuth or API keys, with specific scopes like saas/company.write. Keep credentials secure, rotate them periodically, and enforce least privilege in your app configuration. Use HTTPS for all requests.

Snapshots capture performance metrics and can be exported as CSVs for clients. You can pull data on posts published, engagement, and impressions and combine this with CSV exports for client reports.

If a post fails or a CSV upload errors, check the API response for error codes, verify location and IDs, confirm CSV format, and re-run the request. Enable detailed logging and test endpoints in a sandbox environment.

API rate limits and quotas are documented in the API docs. Plan around bursts by batching requests, caching results, and staggering operations to avoid hitting quotas. Contact support if you need higher limits.
