Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need coding to connect Focuster to the GHL Users API?

No heavy backend is required to get started. You can connect Focuster to the GHL Users API using OAuth or API keys, depending on what your GHL app supports. The essential scope is socialplanner/tag.readonly, and you should keep credentials secure and rotated when needed. After setup, you can begin with basic tagging flows in a no-code or low-code environment.

For basic tagging and statistics, start with GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags and POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags/details for tags data and enrichment, plus GET socialplanner/statistics.readonly and POST /social-media-posting/statistics for metrics. These four endpoints cover core tagging and reporting tasks. As you scale, add more endpoints to support advanced workflows.

Authentication uses OAuth tokens or API keys as provided by your GHL app. Store credentials securely, implement token refresh if using OAuth, and test connections in a sandbox before going live. Ensure the token has the required scope (socialplanner/tag.readonly) for read access.

Yes. You can connect without writing server code by wiring the listed endpoints into your no-code automation tool or integration platform. Start with the four core endpoints for tagging and statistics, then expand as needed. Some light configuration is still required to map fields and triggers.

Required permissions include at minimum socialplanner/tag.readonly for tag retrieval and read access to statistics. Depending on your use case, you may need additional scopes for writing or managing posts. Review the GHL app settings to grant the least privilege needed for your flows.

To revoke access, go to the GHL app authorization settings and disconnect or revoke the Focuster token. If using OAuth, you can revoke the token from the connected apps page. After revocation, rotate credentials and reauthorize if you plan to reconnect.

API documentation for these endpoints is available in the GHL developer portal. Look up the endpoints outlined above to understand required parameters, responses, and examples. The docs will also cover authentication flows and scope management.
