Authenticate requests using OAuth 2.0 tokens. Include the access token in the Authorization header and request the socialplanner/post.write scope to allow posting.
Grant Vendasta access to the Surveys API using your app credentials and an OAuth flow. Store tokens securely and rotate as needed.
POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts — Create a new social post for a location. 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 — Partially update post fields. Additional endpoints are available in the API docs.
Trigger: A new survey result creates a draft post ready to publish for a given location.
Actions: Assemble post content from survey data, attach media as available, assign to a location, and schedule.
POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts
locationId, content, media, schedule, status
Trigger: A change in Vendasta post content prompts an update to the corresponding GHL post.
Actions: Update content, media, or timing; call Endpoint 2 to apply changes.
PUT /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id
locationId, id, content, media, schedule
Trigger: Post is no longer needed or scheduled to be removed.
Actions: Delete the post on GHL and clean up any related assets.
DELETE /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id
locationId, id
Automate posting workflows without writing code.
Faster content distribution across social channels.
Centralized analytics and reporting from a single integration.
Key elements include endpoints, authentication, triggers, and data mappings used to coordinate Vendasta and the Surveys API.
GHL is the integration platform enabling API connectivity for automated workflows between apps.
An API endpoint is a specific URL path used to perform an action on a service (for example, creating or updating a post).
A webhook is a callback URL that allows an app to notify another app about an event in real time.
Location ID identifies the specific social channel location within Vendasta to post to.
Automatically convert meaningful survey responses into social-ready posts and publish at optimal times. Use tone customization and hashtags to boost engagement.
When a survey is completed, automatically start targeted campaigns across social platforms or email, using data from the response.
Monitor post performance and iterate on future content with data-backed insights from Surveys API interactions.
Complete the OAuth flow to grant permissions for posting and access to survey data.
Set up the endpoint calls and map survey fields to post fields in Vendasta.
Run end-to-end tests, verify results, and deploy to production with monitoring.
Yes. The connector is designed to be no-code friendly with visual mapping and presets that simplify setup. Connect Vendasta to the Surveys API, choose triggers, and automate posts without writing code. In addition, you can export configurations for easy reuse across locations. For more advanced use cases, you can still customize mappings and schedules using the API endpoints described above.
We use OAuth 2.0 for secure authentication. Your app will obtain access tokens with the required scopes (including socialplanner/post.write) and refresh as needed. Tokens should be stored securely and rotated regularly. If you use a service token, ensure it has the minimum necessary permissions and follows your security policies.
The primary endpoints you’ll use are the create, update, and delete posts under /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts. The PATCH variant lets you adjust specific fields without replacing the entire post. Additional endpoints are documented in the API reference for extended functionality.
Map Vendasta fields to the Surveys API post fields in the connector UI or via mappings. Ensure content, media, and scheduling align with your posting rules. Validate mappings with test runs before going to production. Use sample survey fields and a mapping table to speed up setup.
Yes. You can cancel scheduled posts or modify multiple posts by updating or deleting via the respective endpoints. Build bulk actions with repeated triggers or batch processing where allowed by the API. Always test bulk changes in a staging environment first.
The API generally enforces rate limits based on your plan. No-code workflows usually incur minimal overhead, but if you run large batches, you may hit limits. Review the API docs for quotas and pricing details. For high-volume needs, contact support to discuss rate limits and optimization strategies.
API documentation is available in the developer portal. Look for the Surveys API and the social posting endpoints under Vendasta integration. You can also reach out to support for client-specific docs and best practices. We provide code samples, parameter references, and example payloads to help you get started.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
