Authenticate requests to the Social Media API using OAuth 2.0 or an API key. Obtain credentials securely from GHL and store tokens safely in Zapier. Scope: saas/company.write to manage accounts.
Zapier App Connector authenticates to GHL’s Social Media API with the chosen method (OAuth or API key). Ensure the app is granted the saas/company.write scope and that tokens are refreshed as needed.

Trigger: User initiates a bulk disable for a given company, then the connector calls the bulk disable endpoint.
Actions: Call POST /bulk-disable-saas/:companyId to disable all SaaS services under that company; return status and updated accounts.
POST /bulk-disable-saas/:companyId
Required: companyId, Authorization header, Content-Type: application/json
Trigger: retrieve a snapshot set to view current state.
Actions: GET /snapshots
GET /snapshots
Authorization required; optional filters via query parameters
Trigger: request accounts for a specific location to populate posting targets.
Actions: GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/accounts
GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/accounts
locationId and Authorization header required
Automate repetitive posting and data retrieval without writing code.
Consolidate data flows between GHL and your apps in a single dashboard.

This glossary explains API, endpoints, authentication, and scopes used when wiring GHL to Zapier App Connector.
An Application Programming Interface that allows software to communicate and exchange data.
A URL path in an API that performs an action or returns data.
The process of verifying identity to grant access tokens.
Permissions attached to an access token that limit what it can do.
Set up a workflow that schedules posts across multiple locations without manual entry.
Upload a CSV of accounts and push updates in one go.
Monitor posting status, reach, and engagement in a single pane.
Generate an API key or OAuth client in GHL and securely store the credentials.
In Zapier, select the Social Media API app and authorize the connection using your GHL credentials.
Map the endpoints you plan to use, set field mappings, and run tests in a sandbox before going live.
Answer: The Social Media API in GHL exposes endpoints to manage accounts, posts, CSV uploads, and posting jobs. Use these endpoints to automate posting, fetch insights, and maintain accounts without manual steps. Together with Zapier App Connector, you can string actions into workflows that run on a schedule or in response to triggers.
Answer: You can configure the Zapier UI to connect to the Social Media API without writing code. For more advanced logic, you can add code steps or custom filters within Zapier. The combination lets you build robust automation quickly.
Answer: Essential endpoints for a basic workflow include GET /snapshots to view state, GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/accounts to fetch accounts, and POST /bulk-disable-saas/:companyId for bulk actions. You can extend with POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/csv and GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/csv/:id as you need. Always test calls in a sandbox before going live.
Answer: Authentication typically uses OAuth 2.0 or an API key. You’ll configure credentials in GHL, grant the saas/company.write scope, then connect via Zapier. Regular token refresh and secure storage are recommended best practices.
Answer: Required fields include locationId for location-scoped calls, companyId for organizational actions, and an Authorization header with a valid token. Some calls also require Content-Type: application/json and a properly formatted request body.
Answer: Yes. Use the bulk delete endpoints, such as POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/bulk-delete, to remove multiple posts in one operation. For accounts and CSV actions, similar bulk endpoints exist or can be composed via templates in Zapier.
Answer: API docs and endpoint references are available in your GHL developer portal and within the Zapier app definitions for Social Media API. If you need a quick reference, the Endpoints list above provides direct paths and methods.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
