To access the Surveys API from Harness, obtain a valid GHL OAuth token and attach the client credentials with the requested scope socialplanner/post.write. Use secure storage and rotate tokens regularly to maintain API access.
Harness authenticates with GHL using OAuth 2.0 credentials issued for the Harness app. After you configure the client in your GHL developer console, Harness can securely request and refresh access tokens to perform post management actions.
Available endpoints include creating, updating, deleting and patching social posts for a given location. Example endpoints include POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts, PUT /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id, DELETE /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id, and PATCH /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id.
Trigger: When a new post is created in Surveys API, Harness automatically schedules it for publishing across selected locations.
Actions: Use POST to create a post in Harness, assign a locationId, set the planned publish time, and push status updates back to Surveys API.
Method and path: POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts
Key fields: locationId, content, scheduledTime, author, status
Trigger: Updates to a post in Surveys API reflect in Harness to keep content synchronized.
Actions: Use PUT /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id to modify content or schedule, ensuring webhooks or pollers refresh status.
Method and path: PUT /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id
Key fields: locationId, id, content, scheduledTime, status
Trigger: Post deletion in Surveys API removes the item from Harness to prevent orphaned content.
Actions: Use DELETE /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id to remove a post; optionally soft delete by updating status first.
Method and path: DELETE /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id
Key fields: locationId, id
Benefit: Create powerful automation flows without writing code, using drag and drop connectors to map endpoints to Harness actions.
Benefit: Real time synchronization between your surveys and social posts lets teams react quickly to audience feedback.
Benefit: Centralized error handling, retries, and logging keep campaigns reliable and auditable.
Key concepts include API endpoints, triggers, actions, authentication methods, and field mappings you will configure in Harness and GHL.
A URL path and method that performs a specific operation in an API, such as POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts to create a new post.
The process of proving identity to access GHL endpoints, typically via OAuth 2.0 or API keys.
An event that starts an automation, for example a new post is created or a status changes.
An operation performed by the integration, such as create, update, or delete of a post.
Automatically publish notable survey results to team channels or social feeds when thresholds are met.
Push weekly survey insights to Slack, Teams, or email with a consistent cadence.
Set reminders to review new survey responses and re-engage audiences with timely posts.
Register the Harness app in GHL and grant the needed scopes, then exchange client credentials for access tokens.
Connect endpoints for creating, updating, and deleting posts to Harness actions and test data flows.
Run end-to-end tests, validate triggers, and deploy the integration to production with monitoring.
The integration enables automated posting workflows by connecting Surveys API data to Harness actions through GHL. It lets you create, schedule, update, and delete social posts based on survey results. To get started, configure OAuth credentials, grant the social planner scope, and test end-to-end flows in a staging environment. Once verified, you can move to production for live campaigns.
You can often set up many automations with no code using Harness and GHL connectors. Start by registering your Harness app in GHL, obtain OAuth tokens, and map endpoints to Harness actions. Then use no-code workflow builders to define triggers, conditions, and actions, testing step-by-step before going live.
Essential endpoints cover create, update, delete, and patch operations for social posts: POST, PUT, DELETE, and PATCH on the location-based path. These endpoints drive the typical lifecycle of a social post within Harness and reflect changes back to Surveys API when needed.
Use OAuth 2.0 or API keys with scoped access. Store tokens securely, rotate credentials regularly, and apply least-privilege access. Implement monitored secret storage and secure callback handling to prevent leakage.
Yes. Use sandbox or staging environments to test flows without affecting live posts. Validate each step, simulate errors, and verify retries before promoting to production.
Implement retry logic with exponential backoff, monitor error codes, and handle rate limits gracefully. Ensure logs are detailed enough to diagnose failures, and alert on persistent issues.
