To authorize the Surveys API in GHL, generate an API key and grant the required scope: socialplanner/post.write. Enter this key into the Zapier App Connector to establish a secure link and enable post creation, updates, and deletions.
In Zapier, connect your GHL-based account and configure OAuth or API key authentication as supported. Ensure the connected app has permission to post content using the Surveys API.
– POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts – PUT /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id – DELETE /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id – PATCH /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id
Trigger: A new post is created in Surveys API and sent to Zapier to publish across connected networks.
Actions: Publish, schedule, or queue posts; map content, media, and links from Surveys API to each platform.
POST endpoint: /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts
Key fields: locationId, content, media, scheduledTime, id, status
Trigger: An existing post needs updating in Surveys API, then reflect changes in Zapier.
Actions: Update content, media, status, or schedule; ensure id remains consistent.
PUT endpoint: /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id
Key fields: locationId, id, content, media, status, scheduledTime
Trigger: Remove a post from all connected networks when deleted in Surveys API.
DELETE endpoint: /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id
Key fields: locationId, id

Elements include endpoints, triggers, actions, fields, and mappings. Processes cover authentication, field mapping, testing, and error handling for a smooth no-code integration.
Application Programming Interface — a set of rules that lets two applications talk to each other.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to perform an action in a service.
A secure authorization framework that lets apps access data on your behalf.
A way for services to notify your app about events in real time.
Trigger posts at optimal times using data from Surveys API and a calendar in Zapier.
Use audience data from Surveys API to tailor messages across networks.
Combine post performance and survey data into a single insights view.
In Zapier, choose Connect an Account and authorize the Surveys API (GHL).
Enter your API key or OAuth credentials and grant permission for posting (scope: socialplanner/post.write).
Map API fields to Zapier fields and run tests to confirm data flow.
The Surveys API is a programmable interface that lets you manage survey-related data and trigger actions from other apps. In this guide we show how to connect the Surveys API with the Zapier App Connector so you can automate social posting through your GHL workflow. This integration enables you to push posts, updates, and deletions from Surveys API to linked social channels without writing code.
No traditional coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides a no-code interface to authenticate, map fields, and orchestrate actions. You configure triggers and actions in a visual workflow and test the integration before going live.
At minimum you’ll use POST to create posts, PUT to update, and DELETE to remove posts. PATCH can be used for partial updates if supported. The exact endpoints are listed in the Endpoints section and mapped in the Zapier workflow.
Authentication is done through a secure key or OAuth. You’ll generate an API key with the socialplanner/post.write scope in GHL, then connect that key in Zapier. The App Connector also handles OAuth for the Zapier side when supported.
Yes. You can schedule posts for future publication using the scheduledTime field and Zapier’s delay or scheduling features. Ensure your time zone is correct and that the recipient networks support scheduled posts.
Typical mappings include content text, images or media, post status, and scheduled times. You’ll map locationId, id, content, media, and scheduledTime to the fields required by each social network.
API keys and scopes are found in your GHL account under developer settings. Create an API key with the required scope (socialplanner/post.write) and then enter it into the Zapier App Connector to authorize the integration.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
