Frequently Asked Questions

What data does the integration access in GHL?

The integration accesses only the data you authorize in GHL, including accounts, posts, media, and scheduling information. It does not read unrelated data. You control what is connected and what is shared. The app follows least-privilege principles to minimize exposure. Any data transmitted between GHL, Zapier App Connector, and social networks is protected by standard encryption and OAuth scopes.

No traditional coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides a no-code interface to map fields, set triggers, and configure actions. If you need advanced logic, you can add simple filters and multi-step zaps without writing code. For custom cases, you can extend with optional scripting or webhooks in advanced flows.

Yes. CSV workflows are supported for importing schedules, accounts, and posts. You can upload a CSV, map its columns to GHL fields, and then run batch posts or analyses. CSV management also enables reuse across campaigns and teams.

The integration respects API rate limits and implements automatic retries with exponential backoff. If a request fails due to a transient error, the connector will retry after a short delay and surface the failure in logs for troubleshooting.

Authentication uses OAuth2 where supported and API keys where required. All data is transmitted over HTTPS and tokens are rotated regularly. Access can be revoked at any time from the GHL or Zapier app settings.

Yes. You can schedule posts across multiple accounts by creating a single zap with multi-account mapping. The connector handles per-account posting while aggregating results in a unified report.

Activity logs and audit trails are accessible within the Zapier task history and GHL activity records. You can review which posts were created, updated, or deleted and when actions occurred.
