Access to Surveys API requires an API key or OAuth token. Generate credentials in your Surveys API dashboard and securely store them in Zapier’s connection settings to authorize requests.
Zapier handles authentication either via OAuth 2.0 or API tokens. Ensure the connection has the socialplanner/post.write scope to publish posts.
– POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts — Create a new post – PUT /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id — Update an existing post – DELETE /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id — Delete a post – PATCH /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id — Modify a post
Trigger: when a new survey response is ready and content needs posting
Actions: construct post content, attach media if available, schedule time, and choose location
POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts
locationId, content, mediaUrl (optional), scheduledTime (optional), platform
Trigger: modify content or timing before publish
Actions: edit content, adjust scheduling, replace media
PUT /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id
locationId, id, content, scheduledTime, mediaUrl
Trigger: post no longer needed or to remove outdated content
Actions: delete post, clear scheduling data
DELETE /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id
locationId, id

Common terms used when integrating the Surveys API with Zapier App Connector for Smore, including how endpoints work and how to map data.
An interface that allows software components to communicate and exchange data.
The process of verifying identity and granting access to an API.
A specific URL and method in an API that performs an action or returns data.
A URL where an API can send real-time data as events occur.
Automatically generate post content from survey results and push to social channels.
Schedule multiple posts at once based on survey timelines.
Trigger posts from analytics and insights gathered in Surveys API.
Obtain credentials from Surveys API and configure the Zapier App Connector connection.
Map endpoint paths and data fields in Zapier to your Smore setup.
Run tests, verify triggers and actions, then deploy to production.
You can connect without writing code using Zapier. The connection uses standard OAuth2.0 or API tokens to authenticate. Set up a Zap that triggers on new survey data and performs a post action to your social channels. This keeps your workflow fast, scalable, and maintenance-light while letting your team focus on insights from surveys.
Supported methods include API keys and OAuth 2.0 depending on your Surveys API configuration. Choose the method your team prefers and ensure proper scope is granted. For most Smore workflows, OAuth 2.0 provides secure, token-based access with refresh capabilities.
For posting, you typically need the locationId and post content. The endpoint path helps you direct the post to the right social channel. Include optional mediaUrl and scheduling fields to enrich and time your posts precisely.
Use Zapier’s test mode to simulate posts and inspect payloads. Check the task history for errors and retry as needed. Review API responses and adjust mappings to ensure clean data flow.
Yes, you can queue posts to publish later by supplying a scheduledTime. Zapier will handle timing and posting. This is ideal for aligning with campaigns and peak engagement windows.
Logs in Zapier show trigger history and action results. In Surveys API, monitor requests for auth issues and rate limits. Use these insights to optimize retry policies and timeout settings.
Quotas depend on your Surveys API plan and Zapier integration; monitor usage in dashboards and request higher limits if needed. Consider batching posts or staggering requests during high-traffic periods.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
