Use your GHL credentials to securely authorize API requests. Store keys securely and rotate them regularly. For most users, the API key or OAuth flow will be used to grant access to endpoints such as tags and statistics.
PaintScout uses a secure connection to the Users API with the same credentials. Ensure the app has read or write permissions for the endpoints you call, and limit access to trusted users.
Available endpoints included in this integration: 1) GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags to fetch tags for a location; 2) POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags/details to attach details to tags; 3) socialplanner/statistics.readonly to pull analytics; 4) POST /social-media-posting/statistics to submit statistics. Additional endpoints will be enabled as the integration evolves.
Trigger: when a new post is created in PaintScout, refresh the location’s tag set from the Users API.
Actions: pull latest tags via GET, map to segments, and push updates back to PaintScout for consistent targeting.
Method path: uses GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags and POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags/details with proper authentication.
Key fields: locationId, tagId, userSegment, timestamp
Trigger: after publishing, update statistics via the statistics endpoints to reflect engagement.
Actions: POST statistics, retrieve and display trends in PaintScout dashboards.
Method path: POST /social-media-posting/statistics and GET socialplanner/statistics.readonly
Key fields: locationId, metric, value, timestamp
Trigger: when tag details are updated, recalc analytics in PaintScout.
Actions: pull combined data, display in a unified analytics panel, sync tag details.
Method path: combine GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags with POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags/details and POST /social-media-posting/statistics
Key fields: locationId, tagList, statisticsId, timestamp
No-code setup lets you connect both systems in minutes without writing code.
Automated data flow reduces manual data entry and errors.
Scalable analytics and reporting as your needs grow.
Key elements: endpoints, authentication, mapping, triggers, actions, and data fields; processes describe how data moves between PaintScout and the Users API.
A specific URL and HTTP method that performs a defined action in an API.
The process of verifying identity and permissions to access an API.
A unique identifier for a PaintScout location used in API calls.
A label assigned to a user or content to categorize it for analytics and automation.
Automatically tag new followers based on engagement to improve targeting in PaintScout.
Publish a summarized analytics digest to your team updates.
Suggest content topics based on tag performance and audience segments.
Create or locate your API key in the GHL developer console, then grant PaintScout access to the required scopes.
Enter endpoint URLs and field mappings in PaintScout to align tags and statistics with your data.
Run tests in a sandbox, verify data flows, and then move to production.
The integration currently exposes endpoints to fetch and detail tags for social posts and to access statistics. These endpoints enable you to map audience segments and track engagement without writing code. Authentication is required to ensure secure data access. The setup guides you through obtaining credentials and configuring the mappings needed for a smooth flow. You can test endpoints in a sandbox environment, then move to production once you confirm data accuracy and performance.
No coding is required if you use the no-code connectors provided by PaintScout and the GHL API integration. For advanced needs, you can implement custom field mappings or additional endpoints. The no-code path covers most common use cases for tagging and analytics.
Authentication typically uses an API key or OAuth flow. You will generate credentials in the GHL developer console and then configure PaintScout to use those credentials for secured requests. Rotate keys regularly and store them securely.
Data such as location IDs, tags, statistics, and timestamps are exchanged between GHL and PaintScout. All transfers occur over secure channels, and sensitive fields are protected with proper authentication and scope controls.
Usage is subject to your GHL plan limits. Monitor request rates and endpoints to avoid hitting quotas. If you expect higher loads, consider upgrading or requesting rate-limit guidance from support.
Yes. Use the provided sandbox or test endpoints to validate data flows, then gradually promote to production after confirming the results align with your expectations.
Logs can be viewed in the PaintScout integration panel and in the GHL developer console. For troubleshooting, check request/response data, verify endpoint mappings, and review authentication scopes.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
