To authorize the connection between Formaloo and Surveys API, generate an API key or configure OAuth credentials in your GHL account, then securely store the token in Zapier. Verify access with a quick ping to the endpoint before enabling automation.
Within Zapier, configure Formaloo to securely pass credentials to Surveys API. Use OAuth flow or an API key, and rotate credentials regularly to maintain security.
– POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts — Create a new social post from Formaloo to a specified location. – PUT /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id — Update an existing social post. – DELETE /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id — Remove a post. – PATCH /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id — Partially update a post. Note: Additional endpoints exist but may not be used in every page; this guide focuses on the four core actions for posting content from Formaloo to your social channels.
Trigger: A new survey submission is received in Formaloo.
Actions: Publish a new social post via POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts.
Method path: POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts
Required: locationId, content; Optional: media_url, schedule
Trigger: Survey response or content update in Formaloo.
Actions: Update an existing post via PUT /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id.
Method path: PUT /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id
Required: id, content; Optional: locationId, media_url
Trigger: Formaloo survey archived or deleted.
Actions: Delete a post via DELETE /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id.
Method path: DELETE /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id
Required: id
No coding required: connect Formaloo to Surveys API via the Zapier App Connector and start automating in minutes.
Fast deployment: leverage pre-built triggers and actions to rapid‑deploy your workflow without writing code.
Reliability: built-in retry logic and error handling help keep your data in sync even when connections hiccup.
A concise glossary of terms used in this guide to help you configure the integration without confusion.
The GHL API provides programmatic access to your GHL account to manage resources such as social posts, contacts, and campaigns. In this guide, we focus on the social posting endpoints used to publish content from Formaloo.
Formaloo is the APPNAME in this integration. It acts as the source of survey data and triggers for content publishing via the GHL Surveys API.
A specific URL path and method used to perform an action (e.g., POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts) in an API. Endpoints define what operations are possible.
A no-code integration layer that connects Formaloo and the GHL Surveys API, enabling triggers, actions, and data mapping without writing code.
Trigger posts automatically whenever a Formaloo survey is completed. Pull key insights into concise social messages and publish to defined locations using the POST endpoint.
Map respondent segments from Formaloo to different posting templates. Use conditional content to tailor posts per audience, leveraging dynamic fields in the content payload.
Schedule posts to match audience activity windows. Use the schedule field in the endpoint to publish posts at optimal times without manual intervention.
Create and store credentials in both Formaloo and Surveys API, then authorize the Zapier App Connector to access the endpoints.
Define which Formaloo events map to which GHL actions (e.g., new submission → create post). Map fields for content, locationId, and scheduling.
Run end-to-end tests, verify posts appear as expected, then enable the automation for ongoing use.
The recommended approach is to use Zapier App Connector to bridge Formaloo and the Surveys API. Start by configuring credentials on both sides, then set up a Zap that triggers on new Formoloo submissions and publishes a post via the POST endpoint. This keeps your social content in sync with survey activity without writing code. Follow best practices: map only the needed fields, test with sample data, and monitor logs for any errors to ensure reliable automation.
No extensive coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides a no-code workflow builder to define triggers (like a new survey submission) and actions (like creating a social post). You’ll connect Formaloo and the Surveys API through OAuth or API keys and configure mappings in a user-friendly interface. If you run into limitations, you can add small custom scripts, but for most setups, the no-code path is sufficient.
The primary endpoints are POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE under /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts. These cover creating, updating, partially updating, and deleting posts. Other endpoints exist, but they aren’t required for the core publish flow described in this guide.
Authentication is typically done via API keys or OAuth credentials. Generate and securely store credentials in both Formaloo and the GHL account, then configure your Zapier app to pass tokens securely. Regularly rotate credentials and test connectivity with a quick ping to ensure the connection remains valid.
Yes. You can customize content by mapping dynamic fields from Formaloo survey data into the content field of the social post. You can also use conditional blocks or templates to tailor messaging per audience or channel. Be mindful of character limits and platform-specific requirements when constructing your post content.
Run a dry run or test with sample submissions to verify that posts are created correctly and contain the expected fields. Validate field mappings (locationId, content, media_url, schedule) and confirm that errors are logged with actionable messages. After successful tests, gradually roll out the automation.
Documentation for the Surveys API, the Formaloo app, and the Zapier App Connector is available in the developer and integration sections of the respective platforms. If you need tailored guidance, reach out to Rankr support for a walkthrough specific to your setup.
