Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need developer credentials for both PT Distinction and Surveys API?

Yes. You will need credentials for both PT Distinction and the Surveys API. Typically you create an app in each platform and follow the OAuth flow to obtain tokens. Keep credentials secure and rotate them regularly. Always use the official connection process rather than ad hoc scripts.

The primary method is OAuth 2.0 with access tokens. Some endpoints may support API keys as a secondary option, but OAuth 2.0 is the recommended approach for PT Distinction and Surveys API integrations.

Yes. Use a sandbox or test location to simulate posts and status changes. This lets you verify triggers, mappings, and error handling before going live.

Handle errors with clear logging and exponential backoff retries for transient failures. Validate response codes, implement idempotency where possible, and surface actionable messages for remediation.

Creating a post typically requires locationId and content, with optional media and scheduling fields. The POST endpoint handles creation and initial publishing, returning a postId for tracking.

There is no hard post limit in the integration itself, but API rate limits and plan constraints apply. Plan accordingly and implement backoff to stay within limits.

Analytics can be viewed in the combined dashboards provided by the integration, showing created posts, statuses, timings, and error rates. You can also export data for deeper analysis.
