To securely call the Social Media API from Zapier, set up OAuth2 with API keys and grant the saas/company.write scope for location-level access as needed.
Configure OAuth 2.0 or API keys in the Zapier app so each connection runs under a securely stored token.
POST /bulk-disable-saas/:companyId; snapshots.readonly; GET /snapshots; socialplanner/account.readonly; GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/accounts; socialplanner/account.write; DELETE /social-media-posting/:locationId/accounts/:id; socialplanner/csv.readonly; GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/csv; GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/csv/:id; socialplanner/csv.write; POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/csv; POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/set-accounts; DELETE /social-media-posting/:locationId/csv/:id; PATCH /social-media-posting/:locationId/csv/:id; POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/bulk-delete; DELETE /social-media-posting/:locationId/csv/:csvId/post/:postId
Trigger: when new accounts are added or a CSV is updated to keep data in sync.
Actions: create accounts in the Social Media API, update CSV records, and notify teams of changes.
POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/set-accounts
locationId, accounts[].id, accounts[].status
Trigger: CSV file upload or update in the app
Actions: upload CSV, parse rows, create or update posts based on data
POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/csv
locationId, csvId, rows, columns
Trigger: scheduled posts or bulk-delete requests
Actions: schedule, publish, and bulk-delete posts across locations
POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/bulk-delete
locationId, postIds, status
Faster automation with drag-and-drop workflow builders and ready-made triggers.

Application Programming Interface — a set of rules that lets apps talk to each other.
Comma-separated values file used to import or export tabular data.
Methods to verify identity and secure access to APIs (OAuth, API keys).
A specific path on an API that performs a defined action.
Automatically provision accounts from your CRM into the Social Media API when a new location is added, then sync status back to your CRM.
Upload a CSV with post data and schedule across locations using the Social Media API.
Aggregate publish results from the API into a dashboard for performance insights.
Establish secure OAuth or API key credentials between Social Media API and the Zapier App Connector.
Select the endpoints you need (CSV, accounts, posts) and map data fields to Zapier actions.
Create triggers and actions in Zapier to automate daily tasks across locations.
The Social Media API enables automated posting, account management, and CSV-based workflows across multiple locations. It provides endpoints to read, write, and delete accounts, manage CSV data, and schedule posts. This lets you connect your social workflow with Zapier App Connector without custom coding. By using triggers and actions, you can synchronize data between your systems and the Social Media API for consistent, scalable operations. You can initiate workflows from CRM events, CSV uploads, or scheduled triggers, ensuring your field teams stay aligned with the latest social activity and data across all locations.
No traditional coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides a no-code interface to authenticate (via OAuth or API keys), select endpoints (CSV, accounts, posts), and map data fields into triggers and actions. This lets you build robust automations quickly and iteratively. If you have specialized needs, you can still extend with minimal custom scripting or advanced Zapier logic.
For basic posting and CSV management, you’ll typically use endpoints like POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/csv, GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/csv/:id, POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/set-accounts, and POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/bulk-delete. These cover CSV intake, account association, and bulk post operations. Additional endpoints support account read/write and snapshot management as your workflow grows.
Secure authentication is achieved with OAuth 2.0 or API keys. Each connection stores a token securely in Zapier, and scopes (like saas/company.write) control access. Implementing per-location tokens helps isolate data and reduce risk. Regularly rotate credentials and monitor for unusual activity from your Zapier app connections.
Yes. The Social Media API supports location-based data, allowing you to manage accounts and posts across multiple locations. Zapier can orchestrate these across different connections, enabling centralized workflows that scale with your organization. You can segment data by locationId and apply location-specific triggers and actions.
The no-code approach dramatically reduces setup time and maintenance. You can visualize workflows, drag-and-drop triggers, and map fields without writing code. Updates to endpoints or schemas can be accommodated by editing the Zapier workflow rather than deploying code changes.
End-user steps are documented within the page as a sequence: authenticate, configure required endpoints, and build a workflow with triggers and actions. The steps are designed to be followed in order, with testing and validation at each stage to ensure data flows correctly between the Social Media API and Zapier App Connector.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
