Authenticate with a secure OAuth 2.0 flow and your API key. The required scope for posting is socialplanner/post.write. Keep credentials secure and rotate them regularly.
To connect awork with Surveys API, authorize using OAuth 2.0 and grant the needed scope. If your organization uses SSO, follow your admin’s guidance for provisioning tokens.
Endpoints involved in this integration include: – POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts – PUT /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id – DELETE /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id – PATCH /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id Note: Only endpoints 1–4 are required for standard awork workflows; additional endpoints may be used for advanced automation.
Trigger: A new awork post draft is finalized
Actions: POST to social networks via the /posts endpoint; mark the post as published in awork; log the activity
POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts
locationId, content, scheduled_time, media
Trigger: Post draft updated in awork
Actions: PUT /posts/:id to update content or timing; reschedule if needed; notify team
PUT /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id
locationId, id, content, scheduled_time
Trigger: Post no longer relevant in awork project
Actions: DELETE /posts/:id; archive the record; update analytics
DELETE /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id
locationId, id
Automate repetitive posting tasks without writing code, using the Zapier App Connector as the bridge between awork and Surveys API.
Sync data bidirectionally to keep awork task status and social posts aligned, boosting accuracy and efficiency.
Scale campaigns across channels with centralized control and real-time analytics.
Key terms include endpoints, triggers, actions, and fields used to automate your integration between GHL (Surveys API) and awork.
A specific URL path that performs a defined action in the API, e.g., POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts.
An event that starts an automation, such as a new awork task or a post draft being finalized.
What happens in response to a trigger, e.g., publish or update a post.
Mandatory inputs for endpoints, e.g., locationId, id, content.
Trigger a post when a milestone is updated in awork using the POST endpoint.
Publish updates to social channels when awork task status changes.
Schedule a weekly digest post summarizing awork activities and posts.
Obtain API keys for Surveys API, authorize GHL, and configure the Zapier App Connector.
Link the four core endpoints to awork fields and verify data flow.
Run test posts, review logs, and set alerts for failures.
Yes — you can connect without writing code using the Zapier App Connector, which bridges awork and Surveys API. The connector provides pre-built actions and triggers that map fields between systems. Configure authentication, endpoints, and field mappings in minutes, not days. To go deeper, consider setting up error handling and retries within Zapier to ensure reliable delivery of posts to social platforms, and test thoroughly with sandbox data.
You should use OAuth 2.0 as the primary authentication method, complemented by an API key for service-to-service calls. Grant the socialplanner/post.write scope to enable posting capabilities. Store tokens securely and rotate them according to your security policy. If your organization uses SSO, follow your admin’s provisioning process to obtain and refresh credentials without user intervention.
Typical workflows involve four core endpoints: create (POST), update (PUT), delete (DELETE), and modify (PATCH) a post. Map fields such as locationId, id, content, and scheduled_time to the corresponding awork fields. This enables a smooth data flow from awork to social channels via Surveys API. For more complex scenarios, you can chain endpoints to implement publish, reschedule, or archive steps within a single automation.
Test connectivity by creating a sandbox post from awork and observing the response from the Surveys API. Use the Zapier test run to verify field mappings and endpoint paths. Review logs in both awork and Surveys API dashboards to identify any mismatches or authorization issues. Enable alerts for failed runs to quickly detect and remedy integration problems.
Yes. You can schedule posts in advance by providing a scheduled_time field when creating posts via POST. The system will queue posts for the specified time and publish across connected social channels. Update or reschedule as needed using the PUT or PATCH endpoints. Keep time zones consistent between awork and Surveys API to avoid mis-timed postings.
Logs are available in the Surveys API dashboard and can be surfaced in Zapier runs. Look for detailed request/response data, including status codes, payloads, and any error messages. Set up webhooks or alerts to get notified of failures and retries. Use a centralized monitoring strategy to correlate awork events with social posts for easier debugging.
Respect API rate limits by batching actions where possible and spacing posts to avoid spikes. Implement retry logic with exponential backoff to handle transient errors. Use idempotent operations (e.g., upserts) where supported to prevent duplicate posts. Document your limits and monitor usage to maintain stable integration performance.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
