To authorize, generate an API credential from your GHL account (scope: socialplanner/tag.readonly) and configure it in Dext’s integration settings.
In Dext, select Connect to GHL, paste the API credential, and grant permissions for tag and statistics data access.
Endpoints used include: GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags, POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags/details, socialplanner/statistics.readonly, and POST /social-media-posting/statistics. Additional endpoints exist but may not be required for this page.
Trigger: When tags change for a location in Dext, fetch current tags with GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags to keep data in sync.
Actions: Create or update tags in one system and push details to GHL via POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags/details.
GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags
locationId, tags
Trigger: On-demand or scheduled pulls of analytics data from GHL to Dext.
Actions: POST /social-media-posting/statistics to send aggregated metrics to Dext.
POST /social-media-posting/statistics
locationId, statistics
Trigger: When a specific tag is selected in Dext, fetch details from GHL.
Actions: Retrieve tag details from GHL and sync to Dext using the detail endpoint.
POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags/details
locationId, tagDetails
Automate data flow between Dext and the Users API without writing code, reducing manual work.
Keep data in sync in real time, so campaigns reflect the latest tags and statistics.
Improve decision making with accessible analytics and tag-level details inside Dext dashboards.
This section defines endpoints, triggers, actions, and key fields you’ll use to connect the GHL Users API to Dext, so you can build automated workflows without code.
API stands for Application Programming Interface. It enables two software systems to communicate by sending requests and receiving responses.
An endpoint is a specific URL in an API that performs a defined action, such as retrieving tags or posting statistics.
Authentication verifies who you are and grants permission to access API data, typically via tokens or keys.
A Trigger is an event that starts an automated workflow or data sync between apps.
Automatically pull tags for each location and update Dext campaigns without manual steps.
Trigger posts based on statistics data to optimize posting times and content mix.
Fetch and display tag details to inform content decisions in Dext dashboards.
Generate API credentials in GHL and configure them in Dext under Integrations.
Enable endpoints such as tags and statistics with scope: socialplanner/tag.readonly.
Test data flow, monitor results, and switch to live after verification.
The integration shares tag data and statistics between Dext and your GHL account, allowing Dext to reflect current tag options and performance metrics. It respects the configured scope, such as socialplanner/tag.readonly, ensuring you access only what you grant. The data is used to drive automation in your social campaigns and dashboards. Paragraph 2: You can customize which fields are synced and set up triggers to control when data moves between systems.
Basic setup does not require coding; you can configure the connection through Dext’s Integrations area and provide the API credentials from GHL. Paragraph 2: For advanced automations, you may leverage additional endpoints or combine with tools like Zapier for broader workflows.
The endpoints primarily used for tagging are GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags and POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags/details. Paragraph 2: For analytics, POST /social-media-posting/statistics and the read-only endpoint socialplanner/statistics.readonly are involved as needed.
Yes. You can choose which fields to sync (for example, tag names, details, statistics). Paragraph 2: The integration is flexible and supports custom mappings inside Dext’s data models.
Real-time syncing is possible with properly configured triggers and requests, but may depend on API rate limits and the nature of the data. Paragraph 2: For most workflows, near-real-time updates work well for tagging and metrics.
Use token-based authentication via API credentials from GHL with the scope specified. Paragraph 2: Store and rotate credentials securely in Dext’s integration settings and follow best practices for access control.
Logs are available in Dext under Integrations > Activity Logs and in GHL’s API console if applicable. Paragraph 2: You can review requests, responses, and any errors to troubleshoot connectivity.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
