Automatically generate and publish weekly performance posts with key metrics.
Push live survey results to social channels as they come in.
Monitor failures and automatically retry or alert the team.
Obtain GHL API keys and authorize Zapier App Connector to access the Surveys API.
Map locationId, content, and optional fields to Zapier fields.
Run tests, verify data flow, and enable automation across teams.
The Surveys API in GHL provides programmatic access to create and manage social posts. Use the Post endpoints to publish content to locations you own. Zapier App Connector can orchestrate these actions without manual steps. In addition, you can batch actions and schedule posts to optimize reach.
No coding is required for basic automation. You can map fields in Zapier, set triggers, and use built-in actions to publish or update posts. For advanced scenarios, light scripting can be added, but it’s optional.
Supported endpoints include creating, updating, deleting, and patching posts via /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id. Endpoints can be combined with triggers in Zapier to automate workflows.
Authentication uses OAuth2 or API tokens. In GHL, generate credentials and grant Zapier App Connector access. In Zapier, securely store and refresh tokens as needed.
The required scope is socialplanner/post.write, which lets the connector publish and modify posts on your behalf. Ensure the scope matches your automation needs.
Yes. You can schedule posts by including a scheduledTime in the payload and using the POST endpoint to queue content for future publication.
Logs and errors appear in Zapier task history and the GHL activity feed. Use retry settings and alerts to keep campaigns on track.
