Use OAuth 2.0 credentials to securely connect the Surveys API with Zapier App Connector. Obtain a client ID and secret, exchange for access tokens, and refresh tokens as needed.
In Zapier connect the GHL Surveys API account by providing credentials and granting permissions to create, update, and delete posts.
POST creates a new post at the location, PUT updates an existing post, PATCH partially updates fields, and DELETE removes a post by id.
Trigger when a new post draft is ready in Surveys API.
Actions include calling POST to create a post, mapping locationId and content to the post fields.
POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts
locationId and content are required; optional fields include mediaUrl and scheduledTime
Trigger when a post needs to be updated in Surveys API
Actions: use PUT to update fields, with id and locationId as identifiers
PUT /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id
locationId, id, and the updated content or mediaUrl
Trigger when a post should be removed or adjusted in Surveys API
Actions: call DELETE to remove a post or PATCH to change specific fields; include locationId and id
PATCH /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id
locationId, id, and fieldsToUpdate
Automate social posting without writing code
Link surveys data directly to your social channels for timely updates
Reuse templates and workflows to scale posting across platforms
This glossary covers API terms you will encounter while wiring GHL Surveys API with Zapier App Connector
An API is a set of rules that allows apps to talk to each other and exchange data securely
Authentication verifies identity before granting access to API resources
An endpoint is a URL that performs a specific action on the API
Payload is the data you send with a request or receive in a response
Automatically post key insights from new surveys to social channels
Set up a cadence to publish reminders or tips based on survey outcomes
Store winning posts and reuse content with update and patch operations
Register your app credentials in GHL and in Zapier to enable secure exchange
Map locationId and id fields in your Zap to target the correct post
Create Zaps that trigger on new posts and push updates to social platforms
The Surveys API is a RESTful interface that lets you create and manage social posts from your GHL data. It exposes endpoints to post, update, patch and delete content that appears on connected social channels. This enables you to automate publishing directly from your surveys and workflow data. Use OAuth credentials to authorize your Zapier app and then map inputs to the POST endpoints to create posts programmatically.
You do not need to write code to set up basic automations in Zapier. The platform provides a visual editor and templates to connect the Surveys API to your workflows. You can start with canned Zaps or build custom ones by selecting triggers and actions in the UI and then mapping fields from Surveys API to the post payload.
Permissions are required to access the Surveys API endpoints and to publish posts. Ensure your app has both read and write scopes for the endpoints you plan to use. Always supply the required locationId and, when updating, the post id to target the correct resource.
Yes, scheduling posts is supported by including the scheduledTime field when creating or updating a post. Zapier can then publish the content at the specified time across the connected social channels.
Testing can be done in a sandbox or test mode if available. Use Zapier’s test features to simulate triggers and actions and validate the mapping against real or mock data before going live.
Credentials are generated in the GHL developer console and entered into your Zapier connection. Rotate credentials regularly and store them securely to maintain a strong security posture.
A sandbox or test environment may be available depending on your GHL account. If not, use a staging location and mock data to safely verify your workflows before production use.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
