To authorize the connection, configure your API access with the required scope socialplanner/post.write. Use OAuth2 where available or an API key for testing. Store credentials securely.
In Zapier, connect your 46elks account by providing a secure API key or OAuth token. Keep credentials private and rotate regularly.
1) POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts — create a new social post for a given location. 2) PUT /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id — update an existing post. 3) DELETE /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id — delete a post. 4) PATCH /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id — partially update a post.

Run test requests, verify responses, and deploy the workflow to go live.
Surveys API is a programmable interface that lets apps like 46elks and the Zapier App Connector access survey data and post content. It enables automations across triggers and actions. In this guide, you’ll learn how to authenticate, choose endpoints, and set up your first no-code workflow.
The integration uses token-based authentication with restricted scopes to limit access. Always store credentials securely, rotate keys regularly, and use HTTPS to encrypt data in transit. Follow your organization’s security policies when configuring connections.
Endpoints for social post management include create, update, delete, and patch operations. You can start with create (POST) to publish posts, then use update (PUT) or patch (PATCH) to adjust content, and finally delete (DELETE) to remove posts when needed. Additional endpoints may be added as the Surveys API expands.
No coding is required to connect using the Zapier App Connector. You can set up triggers and actions through a visual builder. Some advanced data mappings may require optional transformations, but the core flow remains no-code.
Yes. You can template messages and fill them with variables from Surveys API, such as respondent names or survey results. Content, timing, and media can be customized within supported fields.
To test the connection, use Zapier’s test feature or a sandbox environment for the Surveys API. Validate authentication, field mappings, and that the correct POST/PUT/DELETE requests are made and responses are handled properly.
API keys are issued through the Surveys API and the connected 46elks account depending on the provider. In Zapier, you’ll be prompted to enter these keys during connector setup. If you can’t locate keys, check the developer console or contact support.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
