Use your GHL credentials to obtain an access token for the Surveys API and configure the connection in Zapier with the correct scope: socialplanner/post.write.
Set up OAuth or API key credentials in Zapier to securely access Surveys API. Ensure the Zapier app has the socialplanner/post.write scope for posting.

The Surveys API is a flexible interface that lets you create, manage, and publish social posts programmatically. It exposes endpoints to post, update, and delete content across your connected social platforms. Using Zapier App Connector, you can automate posting workflows without writing code, trigger actions from surveys data, and analyze engagement metrics in dashboards.
Authentication can be done via OAuth or an API key, depending on your security preferences. In Zapier, you will connect the Surveys API with the required scope socialplanner/post.write. Once connected, Zapier can reuse the token for subsequent requests, and you can map endpoints to triggers and actions in your workflows.
The primary endpoints are for creating, updating, deleting, and patching posts: POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE on /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts or /:id. Additional endpoints are documented in the official API reference and can be wired into Zapier as needed.
No coding is required for standard posting automations. You configure a trigger, an action, and the data fields in Zapier’s visual editor. For advanced scenarios, you can still customize payloads and use filters, but the core flows run without writing code.
Location ID identifies which account or location the post applies to; it’s required for context in every request. You obtain it from your GHL account and include it in the endpoint path to target the correct location.
A Trigger in Zapier is an event that starts a workflow, such as a new post draft or a change in post status. Triggers are followed by actions that perform API calls to Surveys API to publish or modify content.
You can test connections directly in Zapier by creating a test zap and using the ‘Test this step’ feature to exercise the Surveys API endpoints. Review response data and status codes to ensure the connection is healthy before going live, then enable the workflow.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
