To begin, obtain an API key for the Users API with the scope socialplanner/tag.readonly. Store credentials securely and include the key in your request headers (Authorization: Bearer
Configure your MaintainX app to securely pass the GHL Users API key on each request. Use a secure vault for credentials, set proper scopes, and rotate keys regularly.

Speed up workflows with drag-and-drop automation and prebuilt endpoints that minimize manual work.
Centralized data flow keeps information synchronized across apps without custom development.
Scalability: easily add new endpoints, triggers, or fields as your needs grow.
This section defines API, endpoint, authentication, and webhook concepts and explains how they apply to the GHL Users API integration with MaintainX.
Application Programming Interface: a set of rules that allow software to communicate with another system.
A real-time data delivery mechanism that sends payloads from one app to another via HTTP callbacks.
A specific URL path in an API that performs a function or returns data.
The process of verifying identity before granting access to API resources.
Set up a daily sync to update GHL tags based on MaintainX data so tagging stays in sync.
Push statistics to dashboards or channels (e.g., Slack) for real-time insights.
Use MaintainX events to automatically tag posts in the GHL system.
Request an API key for the Users API and ensure the scope includes socialplanner/tag.readonly. Store securely.
Enable and configure the tags and statistics endpoints in your app or automation platform.
Run tests to validate data flow and then deploy to production.
The GHL Users API exposes endpoints to manage social posting tags and statistics. By authenticating with your API key, you can retrieve the available tags for a location and use them to categorize posts. MaintainX can leverage these endpoints to automate tagging and reporting without writing code, using simple API calls and triggers.
Permissions determine what data you can access. The scope socialplanner/tag.readonly grants read access to tags. For write operations, such as updating tag details, additional scopes or elevated privileges may be required depending on your GHL account configuration.
Yes, the socialplanner/statistics.readonly endpoint provides read-only statistics that you can fetch. You can also post statistics via the /social-media-posting/statistics endpoint if you have write permissions.
No extensive coding is required if you use a no-code automation platform that supports HTTP requests. Basic REST and authentication knowledge helps with troubleshooting and customization.
Key endpoints for tagging include GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags and POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags/details. For statistics, use socialplanner/statistics.readonly and POST /social-media-posting/statistics.
Test in a sandbox or staging environment by sending test requests and verifying responses. Validate that data flows correctly between GHL and MaintainX by checking tag updates and statistics in both systems.
API keys and tokens are found in the GHL developer portal. Generate or rotate keys as needed and store them securely, such as in a vault or encrypted environment variables, and update them in your integration when necessary.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
