Obtain OAuth credentials for the GHL API, request the socialplanner/tag.readonly scope, and exchange codes for access tokens. Store tokens securely and rotate them as needed. Test access with a sandbox environment before going live.
Configure Bannerbear to call the GHL API using the access token, set up the redirect URL, and grant the app the required permissions. Ensure the app can reach endpoints like GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags.
GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags; POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags/details; socialplanner/statistics.readonly; POST /social-media-posting/statistics
Triggered when a post is published in GHL to fetch its tags.
Actions: call GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags and pass the tags to Bannerbear to drive dynamic overlays.
GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags
locationId, access_token, tags
Triggered after a tag is identified to retrieve detailed tag data.
Actions: call POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags/details to enrich tag data.
POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags/details
locationId, tagId/details, access_token
Triggered on updated statistics to refresh banners and dashboards.
Actions: call POST /social-media-posting/statistics to push analytics to Bannerbear banners.
POST /social-media-posting/statistics
locationId, timeframe, access_token
Fast setup with visual builders—no coding required.
Automate image creation, tagging, and overlays across campaigns.
Unified reporting and client-ready banners with minimal maintenance.
Elements include endpoints, authentication, data mapping, triggers, and error handling; processes cover setup, testing, and deployment.
Application Programming Interface; a defined set of calls that lets apps talk to each other.
A callback URL for real-time data delivery from a service.
Authorization framework that issues access tokens for secure API access.
A specific URL within an API that returns a resource or performs an action.
Automatically generate banner images that reflect current post tags for consistent branding.
Embed live statistics into banners and client reports for transparency.
Create multiple banner variants based on different tag combinations.
Create OAuth credentials and set the redirect URL in both Bannerbear and GHL; grant necessary scopes.
Run test requests, confirm data mappings, and adjust field mappings in the app.
Enable automation, monitor banners, and review analytics in your dashboard.
In many cases you do not need to write code. The Bannerbear and GHL API can connect using standard OAuth 2.0 flows. Use the socialplanner/tag.readonly scope to read tags, and map them to your templates. If you run into issues, verify your redirect URLs and token scopes.
Typical endpoints include GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags, POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags/details, and POST /social-media-posting/statistics, along with the read-only statistics endpoint. Map locationId to your Bannerbear project and test with sample data to ensure correct field mappings.
Authenticate via OAuth 2.0; exchange authorization codes for access tokens and refresh tokens. Store tokens securely and rotate them before expiry. Ensure the token scope includes socialplanner/tag.readonly for read access.
Required scopes typically include socialplanner/tag.readonly for reading tags. Depending on your needs, you may require additional permissions to access statistics or write data. Always follow the principle of least privilege.
Yes. No code is required if you use integration tools or prebuilt connectors. You can still trigger actions and map fields using the Bannerbear and GHL APIs without custom code.
Data mapping means aligning GHL fields like locationId and tag data with Bannerbear template variables. Use sample payloads to validate responses and adjust your templates accordingly.
If something goes wrong, check token validity, endpoint permissions, and that your redirect URL matches. Review activity logs in Bannerbear and the GHL app, and use a test environment to reproduce issues.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
