Authenticate to the GHL Users API using OAuth2 credentials with the provided scope (socialplanner/tag.readonly). Keep tokens secure and rotate them regularly.
Adafruit IO authentication uses API keys or OAuth tokens. Store keys securely, grant least-privilege access, and rotate credentials per policy.
– GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags — Retrieve tags for a location – POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags/details — Submit detailed tag information – socialplanner/statistics.readonly — Read-only analytics endpoint – POST /social-media-posting/statistics — Submit statistics payload
Trigger: When a location is added or updated in Adafruit IO, fetch its tags from the GHL API.
Actions: Retrieve tags via GET and map them to corresponding Adafruit IO feeds.
GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags
Key fields: locationId, tags (array), timestamp (optional)
Trigger: Tag details are enriched after the initial tag fetch.
Actions: Submit the details payload to GHL to update tag records and associated metadata.
POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags/details
Key fields: locationId, tagId, details
Trigger: Schedule daily statistics retrieval.
Actions: Retrieve data from socialplanner/statistics.readonly and store results in Adafruit IO dashboards.
GET /socialplanner/statistics.readonly
Key fields: locationId, dateRange
Automates data flow between systems without writing code.
Unifies tag and statistics data for dashboards and reports.
Speeds up prototyping with reusable workflows and templates.
This section explains core elements (endpoints, triggers, actions, payloads) and how they fit into the GHL-APP integration.
A specific URL provided by an API that lets a client perform an action or retrieve data.
An event that starts an automation or workflow (e.g., new location or new tag).
An operation performed in response to a trigger (e.g., fetch tags, post details).
The data you send to or receive from an endpoint in a request or response.
Automatically sync tags retrieved from the GHL API to Adafruit IO feeds to keep dashboards up to date.
Combine statistics endpoint data with Adafruit IO data streams to create a live analytics view.
Enrich tags with additional metadata from Adafruit IO and push back insights to GHL.
Obtain and securely store API keys or OAuth tokens for both systems.
Select the endpoints you will use and map fields between GHL and Adafruit IO feeds.
Run test requests, verify data flow, and enable retries and error handling.
Yes. You can usually set this up without writing code by using the GHL App Connector and Adafruit IO’s built-in integration templates. The process relies on triggers, actions, and endpoint mappings to move data between systems. Start with a basic tag sync and expand as you confirm each step works. If you need custom logic, you can add lightweight scripts or webhooks, but for most use cases the no-code workflow covers standard data flows.
For basic syncing, the core endpoints are GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags to fetch tags and POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags/details to enrich tag data. You can start with these to establish a tag flow between GHL and Adafruit IO. Optionally add the statistics endpoints (socialplanner/statistics.readonly and POST /social-media-posting/statistics) if you want analytics alongside tagging.
Security is built around standard API practices: encrypted transmission (HTTPS), API keys or OAuth tokens, and restricted scopes. Use least-privilege access, rotate credentials regularly, and monitor usage for anomalies. Consider adding retry logic and error handling to gracefully manage transient failures and rate limits.
Yes. You can map fields between GHL responses and Adafruit IO feeds, enabling you to shape the payloads sent to feeds and the data stored in GHL. If needed, use optional fields and data transformations to align with your dashboards. Keep a changelog of field mappings to simplify maintenance as endpoints evolve.
First, verify your API keys/tokens and scope. Check endpoint paths and required parameters, then review any rate limits or retry policies. Use test automation to reproduce failures and capture error details to adjust mappings or authentication. If issues persist, consult the logs for both systems and verify network connectivity.
The setup supports OAuth2-based authentication and API keys, depending on how you configure the GHL and Adafruit IO connectors. Use OAuth2 for dynamic access and key-based auth for simpler, long-lived credentials. Always follow your organization’s security policy when choosing a method. Rotate secrets periodically and apply least-privilege access to each integration.
Synced data can be viewed in Adafruit IO dashboards and in GHL data views, depending on how you map feeds and endpoints. In Adafruit IO, build dashboards from feeds that receive the GHL data; in GHL, reference the synced fields in your records and reports. If you use analytics endpoints, pull statistics into dashboards to monitor trends over time.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
