Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Surveys API?

The Surveys API exposes a RESTful interface that lets you manage social media posts through GHL. It’s designed to streamline content pushes, updates, and tracking across connected social channels. This guide focuses on using the GHL end of the integration with the Zapier App Connector for automated workflows.\n\nWith the Surveys API, you can post new content, adjust timing, and bundle messages into campaigns that align with your strategy.

To authenticate, configure OAuth 2.0 with the requested scope (socialplanner/post.write) and exchange credentials for an access token. Use the Zapier App Connector to store and refresh tokens securely. Ensure you grant permissions only to the workflows you intend to automate.\n\nKeep tokens secure and rotate them periodically as part of your security hygiene.

Core endpoints include creating, updating, deleting, and patching posts at the location scope. The four primary endpoints are POST, PUT, DELETE, and PATCH on /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id. Additional endpoints may exist for other resources as you expand usage.\n\nAlways test endpoints in a sandbox before applying to production workflows.

OAuth 2.0 is the recommended authentication method for Zapier integrations with the Surveys API. It provides secure token-based access without sharing passwords. You’ll configure a client in your app registry, authorize via a redirect URL, and store the access token in Zapier’s secure storage.\n\nAlternative methods may be available for service-to-service scenarios; consult your security policies before choosing an approach.

Yes. You can schedule posts by including a schedule time in the POST request and then updating the time with PUT/PATCH if needed. The API supports future-dated messaging so you can plan ahead.\n\nLeverage Zapier to trigger these posts at the exact times you specify in your workflow.

The required scope shown for this integration is socialplanner/post.write. Other scopes can be added as your workflow evolves, depending on endpoints used and data access needs.\n\nAlways request the minimum scope necessary to complete the task to reduce security risk.

Pricing depends on the Zapier App Connector plan and any API usage costs from Surveys API. The no-code workflow benefits are available with common tiers, while high-volume automation may incur additional API call charges.\n\nCheck current pricing in your account and consider a trial to validate the integration before committing.
