You will interact with a small set of endpoints to move data between GHL and GatewayAPI SMS. Start by authenticating with the GHL Users API, then use GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags to retrieve tags for a location. If you need deeper details about a tag, call POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags/details. You can also pull read-only statistics from socialplanner/statistics.readonly and push statistics via POST /social-media-posting/statistics.
No code is required for the basic flow. The endpoints above can be wired into your automation rules or a no-code platform to sync tags, details, and statistics. You can also map fields directly to your CRM and messaging apps to trigger workflows without custom development.
Authenticate with GHL by obtaining an API key or OAuth token from the GHL dashboard and include it in your requests. Authenticate GatewayAPI SMS by using your API credentials to generate a token with the correct scopes. Always secure tokens and rotate credentials regularly.
Data exchanged includes location identifiers, tag data (tagId and tagName), tag details, and engagement statistics such as impressions and clicks. Sensitive tokens are transmitted in secure headers and stored following best practices.
Yes. Statistics endpoints provide real time metrics or near real time updates that you can surface in your dashboards. You can schedule periodic pulls or push updates as part of automation.
If a tag is updated, the integration can refresh the tag data in your CRM or contacts. If a tag is removed, you can either archive the tag or remove association from contacts based on your mapping rules.
API keys and tokens are found in the respective developer or API sections of the GHL and GatewayAPI SMS dashboards. Keep them secure, implement least privilege, and document their usage for your team.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
