Authorize Surveys API access by creating an API key or OAuth credentials in the GHL developer console. Ensure the access scope includes socialplanner/post.write so the app can publish posts on your behalf.
Connect the Zapier app by selecting an existing Surveys API connection or creating a new one, then grant the required permissions. A quick test will confirm that the connector can read and post data.
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 when a new LeadCapture form is submitted
Action to create a draft social post in Surveys API using form data
POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts
locationId, content, mediaUrl, scheduleTime
Trigger when form fields change
Update the corresponding post via PUT with updated fields
PUT /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id
locationId, id, content, mediaUrl
Trigger when a LeadCapture form is deleted
Delete the associated social post via DELETE
DELETE /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id

Automate end to end workflows without writing code
Move data between LeadCapture forms and social posts in minutes
Easily test, tweak and deploy automations with built in debugging
Key elements include endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions and data fields used to automate LeadCapture-io form integrations
Application Programming Interface a set of rules that lets software components communicate and share data
OAuth 2.0 is an authorization framework that lets apps access user data without exposing credentials
A URL path that lets clients access a specific service on an API
The data sent in an API request or response
When a form is submitted, automatically create a draft post in Surveys API filled with key fields and scheduled timing
Keep posts current by updating content and media when the originating form changes
Automatically delete associated posts to maintain alignment with form data
Provide credentials for both sides and verify access with a quick test
Map LeadCapture form fields to the post payload fields and specify locationId
Run tests, deploy to production and set up ongoing monitoring
No coding is required to connect Surveys API with the Zapier App Connector. The setup uses visual builders and triggers to map data and automate actions. You can create powerful workflows in minutes, not days. If you prefer, you can export your mappings and reuse them across projects.
The core endpoints you will use are POST for creating posts, PUT for updating, DELETE for removing, and PATCH for minor updates. You may also leverage additional endpoints as needed for advanced workflows. Always test each endpoint in a sandbox before going live.
Yes. You can customize the post content, media, scheduling, and field mappings. Use templates and dynamic fields from LeadCapture form submissions to tailor each post to your brand voice.
Authentication is handled via API keys or OAuth. Create credentials in the GHL developer console and securely store them in the Zapier app. The connection can be refreshed periodically and tested with a quick ping.
Rate limits apply per API and per user. If you exceed limits, responses will indicate when you can retry. Implement retries and exponential backoff in your automations to avoid failures.
Use the built in test feature in the Zapier app to simulate submissions and check payloads. Review error messages and logs, adjust mappings, and re run tests until they pass.
Logs are accessible in the Zapier app and in GHL under the API section. Use filter options to locate requests, responses and any authentication events.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
