To begin, grant the Zapier App Connector permission to access your Surveys API account using OAuth-like flow or an API key. Ensure the scope is set to: socialplanner/post.write to allow posting updates.
In Zapier, add the Surveys API connection, enter your API credentials, and test the connection to confirm authorization. This keeps your data secure and ready for automation.
Key endpoints used 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. Additional endpoints are documented in the API reference.
Trigger: when creating a new post in Surveys API, then publish to linked social channels via locationId.
Actions: POST to /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts to create, then monitor status for success.
POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts
locationId, content, scheduled_time, author_id
Trigger: updates to existing posts via PUT, allowing edits before publishing.
Actions: PUT to /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id to update; PATCH to adjust fields as needed.
PUT /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id
locationId, id, content, schedule_time
Trigger: delete by id to clean up content backlog.
Actions: DELETE to /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id; verify deletion response.
DELETE /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id
locationId, id

The Surveys API is the data surface you use to create and manage survey-based content. It exposes endpoints for creating and updating posts that you then publish to connected social channels via the Zapier App Connector. This guide focuses on the posting lifecycle within the Surveys API integration.
Authentication is handled by the Zapier App Connector. You will provide API credentials or connect an OAuth-like flow to authorize access to Surveys API. Once connected, test the connection to ensure secure data transmission.
Key endpoints include creating, updating, and deleting posts using POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE methods against /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts. These endpoints allow you to manage the lifecycle of social content associated with a location.
Rate limits depend on your Surveys API plan. In typical use, plan for burst posting and implement retry logic in Zapier to handle transient rate restrictions.
Yes. Use the test mode in Zapier to simulate workflows with sandbox credentials. Validate that posts appear in your connected social channels before going live.
Common fields map content, locationId, content body, and scheduling metadata. You can customize mapping to support media, tags, or location-level controls.
API credentials are typically accessed from the Surveys API account settings. Rotate credentials regularly and update connections in Zapier to maintain access.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
