To begin, generate an API key in the Surveys API dashboard and grant the socialplanner/post.write scope for seamless posting via GHL.
In Zapier, set up a connection to Surveys API using OAuth2 or an API key, then authorize the required scopes to enable posting.
– POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts — Create a new post for a specific 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 — Modify parts of a post.
Trigger: A new response is submitted in the Surveys API.
Actions: Publish a post via POST endpoint for the chosen location.
POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts
locationId, content, publish_time
Trigger: A survey item is updated.
Actions: Update the corresponding social post via PUT.
PUT /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id
locationId, id, updatedContent
Trigger: Survey response is archived or deactivated.
Actions: Delete post via DELETE endpoint.
DELETE /social-media-posting/:locationId/posts/:id
locationId, id
Fast setup with drag-and-drop workflows that require no custom code.
Automate repetitive posting tasks across locations with simple triggers and actions.
Centralize content controls to maintain consistency and compliance.
Core elements include endpoints, triggers, actions, data fields, and location IDs used to drive posts.
GHL API is the programmatic interface that enables automation with the GHL platform for posting, updating, and retrieving data.
An API path that performs a specific action, such as creating or updating a post.
An event that starts an automated workflow, such as a new survey submission.
The text, media, and metadata sent as the body of a social post.
Automatically publish posts when a survey response meets predefined criteria, saving time and maintaining consistency.
Sync existing posts when survey content is edited, ensuring accuracy across channels.
Automatically remove or archive posts tied to deprecated survey entries.
Get your API key, configure OAuth or key-based access, and grant the necessary scope for posting.
Choose Surveys API in Zapier’s app directory, then connect using your GHL credentials.
Define triggers (new responses) and actions (create posts) to automate posting.
No-code setup is possible in Zapier with pre-built connectors. You can configure triggers and actions using a visual editor. If you need more control, you can use webhooks for advanced scenarios. For teams needing deeper customization, consider layering Zapier with custom webhooks to handle edge cases.
Currently available endpoints include creating, updating, deleting, and patching social posts for a given location. You can extend to others as the API expands. Each operation maps to a specific HTTP method and location context to keep posts aligned with surveys.
Authentication is performed via an API key or OAuth in Zapier, paired with the GHL Surveys API. You will grant the scope: socialplanner/post.write. Follow the prompts in the connected app to finish. If you encounter access issues, re-authenticate or re-create the connection with the correct scope.
There may be rate limits depending on your plan. Check your API usage in the GHL dashboard and Zapier task history. For high-volume needs, consider batching or scheduling as needed.
Yes. You can template posts per location by mapping fields from the survey response into your post content. Use Zapier’s formatting tools to tailor each post per location.
Required data includes locationId and the post content. Optional fields include scheduled time, media references, and post metadata.
Use Zapier’s test feature or run a live zap with test data. Review logs for errors and adjust mappings accordingly. Test iteratively to validate content, timing, and location mapping.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
