Requests to the Users API require a valid access token. Create a GHL API client, request an access token using your client credentials with the scope socialplanner/tag.readonly, and include the token in the Authorization header as Bearer
Actionstep authenticates calls from the integration via OAuth2 for the app sandbox and production environments. Configure redirect URIs, store tokens securely, and refresh tokens as needed to maintain a stable connection with the GHL API.
GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags; POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags/details; socialplanner/statistics.readonly; POST /social-media-posting/statistics
Trigger: when a location is updated in GHL, pull tags with GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags and synchronize them into Actionstep tasks or notes.
Actions: create or update tag lists in Actionstep projects and attach them to relevant records; optionally generate tasks for review.
GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags
locationId, tagId, name, createdAt
Trigger: when social posting statistics are calculated in GHL, push a summary update to Actionstep.
Actions: update dashboards in Actionstep, generate quarterly or weekly reports for clients.
POST /social-media-posting/statistics
locationId, metric, value, date
Trigger: pull readonly analytics from the socialplanner statistics endpoint and refresh Actionstep dashboards.
Actions: feed insights into Actionstep dashboards; no writes back to GHL from Actionstep.
socialplanner/statistics.readonly
locationId, date, metrics
Automate data synchronization without writing custom code or scripts.
Leverage visual builders and templates to map data fields between GHL and Actionstep.
Scale easily by reusing workflows and reusable components across locations.
This glossary covers authentication, endpoints, data fields, and the flow of information between GHL and Actionstep.
OAuth 2.0 is a standard authorization framework that issues access tokens to clients after user consent, enabling secure API access.
API rate limits cap how many requests you can make in a given window to protect the system; plan dependent.
A Bearer token is an access token that must be presented in the Authorization header to authenticate API requests.
A webhook is a callback URL that GHL can use to push events to your app when data changes.
Automatically create Actionstep tasks when new tags are detected in social posts via GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags.
Aggregate statistics from social posts to drive approvals and client reports in Actionstep.
Use ready-made templates to onboard new accounts and map fields between GHL and Actionstep quickly.
In GHL, create a dedicated API client and note the client ID and secret; configure the redirect URI for Actionstep.
Assign the socialplanner/tag.readonly scope and any additional scopes required for your workflows.
Test the integration in a sandbox environment, verify data mapping and webhooks, then deploy to production.
The fastest way is to start with a prebuilt template that maps the Users API fields to Actionstep objects. Then connect your GHL account, authorize the app, and run a test to confirm data flows correctly.
No heavy coding is required. The integration is designed to work with drag-and-drop builders and endpoints that map to fields in Actionstep. If you need custom logic, you can add scripts or use automation to extend capabilities.
For a basic setup, you will use endpoints 1-4 to sync tags, details, and statistics. Review the endpoints you actually need and confirm the required scopes in the GHL developer console.
Use a sandbox or developer mode to test API calls, inspect responses, and verify webhooks. Monitor retries and error messages to quickly identify misconfigurations.
Use TLS, rotate tokens regularly, and limit access to trusted applications. Store credentials securely and use least-privilege scopes for your GHL app.
Yes. Webhooks can push events like new tags or stats. Configure a secure callback URL in Actionstep and validate payloads.
Check the official developer docs for GHL and Actionstep, plus community tutorials and sample templates to accelerate setup. This will help you troubleshoot common pitfalls.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
