Authenticate using OAuth 2.0 with the socialplanner/post.write scope. Keep tokens secure and rotate credentials regularly.
In Zapier, authorize the app to access Surveys API. Use OAuth 2.0, grant the requested scopes, and store access tokens securely.
POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts — Create a new post for a location PUT /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id — Update an existing post DELETE /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id — Remove a post PATCH /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id — Partially update a post
Triggered by a new survey response to kick off a social post.
Actions initiate a POST to create the social media post for a given location.
POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts
locationId, content, mediaAttachments, scheduledTime, postType
Triggered by updated survey data to refresh a post.
Actions: Update using PUT endpoint to modify content or attachments.
PUT /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id
locationId, id, content, mediaAttachments
Triggered when a post is no longer relevant or must be removed.
Actions: Delete using DELETE endpoint.
DELETE /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id
locationId, id
Rapid, code-free setup between Surveys API and Zapier App Connector.
Automate cross-location social posting with a click.
Centralize survey data to drive social content with consistent messaging.
Key elements include endpoints, triggers, actions, authentication, and data mapping.
GHL is the CRM and marketing automation platform used for connecting APIs and automations.
Zapier App Connector enables connecting GHL to external apps and automations via secure API calls.
An API endpoint is a URL to which your app sends requests to perform actions or retrieve data.
OAuth 2.0 is an authorization framework used to grant access to resources without sharing passwords, via tokens.
Automatically publish a weekly digest post summarizing survey responses.
Trigger posts when survey responses hit milestones (e.g., 100 replies).
Auto-post the same message across multiple social profiles for consistency.
Authorize the connection request in your GHL account and Zapier app, granting the required scopes.
Set up trigger for new survey responses and mapping fields.
Map actions to the appropriate endpoints (POST, PUT, DELETE) and test.
Answer: The integration enables connecting Surveys API to the Zapier App Connector to automate social posting workflows without custom code. It uses GHL endpoints to create, update, and delete posts as survey activity triggers happen. This setup helps maintain consistent messaging across locations and channels. The workflow is designed for marketers who want to leverage survey insights in real-time social content.
Answer: Authentication uses OAuth 2.0. You’ll authorize the Zapier App Connector to access Surveys API with the socialplanner/post.write scope. Manage tokens securely, and ensure you rotate credentials regularly. If your app requires additional permissions, add them through the OAuth consent flow and re-authenticate when prompted.
Answer: The primary endpoints are POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts to create posts, PUT /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id to update, and DELETE /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id to remove posts. PATCH is available for partial updates. Use locationId to target the correct social channel group and id to reference specific posts.
Answer: No coding is required for the basic workflow. The Zapier App Connector provides a no-code interface to map survey data to post fields and to configure triggers and actions. For advanced data transformations, light scripting can be added, but it is optional for most users.
Answer: Map key fields such as content, media attachments, and scheduling from survey responses to the post payloads. Include locationId to route posts to the correct channel, and use id to reference posts during updates or deletions. Validate mappings with test calls to confirm accurate data transfer.
Answer: Follow best practices like testing in a sandbox, keeping field mappings consistent, and handling errors gracefully with retries. Use clear naming for locations and posts, log actions for auditing, and implement fallback messaging if media fails to upload. Leverage no-code templates to speed up deployment.
Answer: For resources, consult the official docs for Surveys API and the Zapier App Connector. If you need personalized help, reach out to support channels or community forums where practitioners share templates and use cases. You can also access example workflows to accelerate setup.
