Use the Surveys API credentials to establish a secure link with Zapier App Connector and ensure the scopes include post write permissions
Configure the Zapier app connection with Surveys API credentials, using OAuth 2.0 or API keys, then verify the connection

Key elements to understand include authentication, endpoints, data mapping, and error handling when linking Surveys API and Zapier App Connector
API stands for Application Programming Interface and enables software systems to communicate
OAuth is a secure token based authorization standard used to grant access to APIs
Webhook is a callback mechanism to receive real time data when events occur
An API URL that performs a specific action when called
Schedule posts triggered by other apps to consistently reach your audience
Publish to multiple social channels from a single trigger for efficiency
Push survey analytics to dashboards and alert teams when thresholds are met
Acquire API keys from Surveys API and configure OAuth in Zapier
Map endpoints to triggers and actions and test the connection
Create Zaps, test scenarios, monitor logs
You do not need to code to set up basic connections. The Zapier App Connector provides a visual workflow builder to map triggers and actions between Surveys API and connected apps. You can configure authentication and test the connection through the test button. In more advanced cases you may add custom fields or conditions, but most users start with standard triggers and actions and a few data mappings.
Authentication is handled through OAuth 2.0 or API keys depending on what Surveys API supports. The Zapier app will guide you through linking accounts, granting permissions, and testing the connection. Ensure the correct scopes for post write are granted.
The integration uses endpoints for creating, updating, deleting, and patching posts. While other endpoints exist, the page focuses on the core actions for managing social posts via the Surveys API. You can expand later as needed.
Yes. Use the test mode in Zapier to simulate requests without affecting live data. With sandboxes or sample accounts, you can validate field mappings and error handling before going live.
Common issues include authentication errors, incorrect field mappings, and missing required parameters. Check the connection diagnostics in Zapier, review API keys, and verify that locationId and id are correct. Enable verbose logs to identify where the failure occurs.
Rate limits vary by endpoint and plan. If you hit limits, implement exponential backoff and spread requests over time. Consider batching or scheduling heavy tasks during off peak hours.
Yes. Zapier can handle time zone awareness; specify publish_time in the correct time zone. You can set default zones or convert times using built in utilities.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
