Authenticate your Surveys API requests with your API key and ensure the scope socialplanner/post.write is granted for posting operations.
To connect Nextdoor, authorize the app to post on your behalf and verify the required permissions are granted for location posts.
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 post is ready in your content calendar to publish to Nextdoor via Surveys API.
Actions: create a post with locationId and content, then publish.
POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts
Key fields: locationId, content, scheduledTime, status
Trigger: after drafting a post, you may need to adjust text or status.
Actions: update via PUT or PATCH to modify content or metadata.
PUT /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id
Key fields: locationId, id, content, status
Trigger: when a post is outdated or no longer needed.
Actions: delete via DELETE endpoint to remove a post.
DELETE /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id
Key fields: locationId, id
No-code automation lets you post, update, and remove content without writing a line of code.
Fast, repeatable workflows save time and reduce errors with ready-made endpoints.
Centralized monitoring helps you track performance and iterate quickly.
Elements include endpoints, triggers, and actions. The processes cover authentication, data mapping, and testing before going live.
The process of verifying identity and granting access to the Surveys API.
A specific URL path and method that performs a defined action in the API, such as creating a post.
The data you send with an API request to create or update a resource.
An authorization framework that allows secure access to the API without sharing passwords.
Set up a trigger to publish at peak engagement times automatically.
Use performance data to adjust content via PUT or PATCH.
Automatically clean up old content to keep Nextdoor feeds fresh.
Grant access to Nextdoor in your Surveys API app and confirm required scopes are enabled.
Map locationId, post content, and status fields to Nextdoor requirements.
Run tests to ensure data flows correctly and publish automation once verified.
You will typically grant the socialplanner/post.write scope to allow publishing. Use API keys or OAuth tokens as required by your account. Ensure only trusted apps have access and rotate credentials regularly. Always test in a staging environment and monitor for unusual activity.
Endpoints used for creating and updating posts include POST to create, PUT to replace, PATCH for partial updates, and DELETE to remove posts as needed. Test each endpoint in a sandbox environment to confirm payload formats and response structures before going live.
No full custom code is required for basic posting flows; this integration uses REST endpoints and Zapier-style triggers. However, you may need lightweight scripting if you want complex field mappings or conditional logic.
Use a staging workspace to run end-to-end tests with mock data. Verify that authentication, field mapping, and error handling work as expected. After successful tests, enable monitoring and set up alerting for failures.
Yes. You can schedule posts by sending a scheduledTime or by configuring a calendar trigger in your workflow. Ensure your Nextdoor posting window aligns with audience engagement patterns and any platform constraints.
Posts can be deleted via the DELETE endpoint when they are no longer needed or violate guidelines. For archiving, you may opt to set a hidden or archived status via PATCH or PUT depending on your API implementation.
We recommend using OAuth or API keys with scoped access and rotating credentials regularly. Ensure secure storage of tokens and monitor for unusual activity with logs and alerts.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
