Access to the Surveys API from Rankr is secured via API keys or OAuth. Obtain your credentials in the GHL developer console and send them in the Authorization header for every request.
Rankr authenticates against the GHL Surveys API using the app’s client credentials, then issues an access token for use in subsequent calls. Keep credentials in a secure vault.
Endpoint 1: POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts — create a new social post; Endpoint 2: PUT /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id — update an existing post; Endpoint 3: DELETE /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id — remove a post; Endpoint 4: PATCH /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id — modify partial fields.
Trigger: A new survey submission or updated response in Getsitecontrol triggers a social post draft in Rankr.
Actions: Use POST to create a post, with optional PATCH to update, leveraging Endpoint1.
POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts
locationId, content, scheduledAt, authorName
Trigger: When a survey completes, schedule a post for a future date.
Actions: Use PUT or PATCH to adjust content, or POST to create new posts as needed.
PUT /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id
locationId, id, content, scheduledAt
Trigger: API errors or timeouts trigger automatic retries with backoff.
Actions: Implement retry logic, log errors, and alert your team when necessary.
POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts, PATCH /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id, PUT /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id, DELETE /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id
locationId, id, status, errorCode

The Surveys API integration with Rankr enables seamless automation of social posts driven by survey data. It leverages GHL credentials to securely access and manipulate posts. This setup reduces manual work and ensures consistent messaging across channels. Keep API keys confidential and rotate credentials periodically to maintain security and reliability.
No extensive coding is required. The integration is designed for no-code or low-code use via endpoint mappings, triggers, and actions within Rankr. You can configure endpoints, map fields, and set triggers through the UI and test in a sandbox before going live. For advanced needs, you can extend the workflow with custom fields or additional endpoints as required.
The primary endpoints used are POST, PUT, DELETE, and PATCH on /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts and /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id. These cover creating, updating, removing, and partially modifying posts sourced from survey data. Ensure proper field mapping for content, scheduling, and location to avoid misposts.
Security relies on standard API authentication (API keys or OAuth) and secure headers. Credentials are stored in a vault and transmitted over HTTPS. You should also implement access controls in Rankr to restrict who can modify the integration settings. Regular credential rotation and monitoring of access logs are recommended practices.
Yes. A sandbox or test mode is available to simulate survey events and post actions. Use test data to validate triggers, mappings, and responses before flipping to live mode. Review logs for any anomalies during testing.
Data fields typically include locationId, content, scheduledAt, and status, plus optional fields like authorName or image_url depending on your post type. Map these from survey response fields to ensure accurate posts. Custom mappings can be added to support variations in your Getsitecontrol surveys.
Logs and analytics are accessible in Rankr’s integration dashboard. You can view request/response events, retries, and error messages, and you can export data for reporting. Use alerts to stay informed about failures and performance metrics.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
