Frequently Asked Questions

What is the GHL API name used for the Payaca integration?

The GHL API name for this Payaca integration is the Users API. It serves as the connection point for Payaca to read and send data through predefined endpoints. Use the API name when configuring connectors and documentation in your gateway. If you’re new to GHL API connections, start with the authentication setup and test endpoints in a staging environment before moving to production.

No-code setups are possible with the Payaca to Users API integration, using prebuilt templates and mappings. Some scenarios may require basic scripting to handle data transformation or error handling, but the majority of workflows can be accomplished through drag-and-drop configuration.

The essential initial endpoints are GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags, POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags/details, and POST /social-media-posting/statistics. These cover retrieving tags, updating tag details, and recording post statistics. Additional endpoints can be added as your needs grow.

Authentication between Payaca and the Users API uses either API keys or OAuth tokens, issued with scoped permissions. Secure storage and rotation policies are recommended, and you should use the provided Scope (socialplanner/tag.readonly) to limit access.

Yes. Use a sandbox or staging environment to run test calls without impacting live data. Validate data mappings, error handling, and retries, then promote to production after successful verification.

Typically you’ll sync location IDs, tag IDs, tag names, and engagement metrics such as impressions and clicks. Additional fields can be mapped as needed, depending on your Payaca workflows and the data exposed by the Users API.

The endpoint reference is typically available in your GHL developer portal or API catalog. Look for sections labeled as Payaca integration with the Users API and review the endpoint list and data schemas.
