Authenticate to the Users API using your GHL credentials. Obtain an API key or OAuth token and include it in the Authorization header for each request.
To connect Poptin with the Users API, ensure Poptin can securely send requests. Use the API key provided in your Poptin dashboard and store it securely.
GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags; POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags/details; socialplanner/statistics.readonly; POST /social-media-posting/statistics
Trigger: when a new post is created in Poptin, fetch or generate tags and sync them to GHL.
Actions: retrieve tags via GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags and enrich with details using POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags/details.
GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags; POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags/details
locationId, tags, details
Trigger: pull engagement data on publish or on a schedule to keep statistics up to date.
POST /social-media-posting/statistics
locationId, statistics, metrics
Trigger: initiate a custom data flow to generate reports on demand.
GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags; POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags/details; POST /social-media-posting/statistics
locationId, tags, details, metrics
Fast setup with ready-to-use endpoints reduces development time.
Automated syncing of tags and engagement data keeps data current in GHL.
Easier measurement of campaigns and better audience insights without writing code.
This glossary defines API terms and describes the data flow between Poptin and GHL for this integration.
API: a set of endpoints you call to read or write data between Poptin and GHL.
Endpoint: a specific URL and HTTP method used to perform an action in the API.
Authentication: the process of proving identity to access the API, typically via API keys or OAuth tokens.
Webhook: a URL that receives real-time data push events from the API.
Automatically generate and apply tags in GHL based on user interactions in Poptin.
Create a live dashboard showing tag performance and post engagement.
Set up triggers to notify your team when key metrics change.
Obtain your GHL API key and configure permissions in Poptin.
Enter the endpoint URLs and required parameters in your integration setup.
Run tests, verify data flows, and go live with monitoring.
Yes. You authenticate Poptin to access the GHL Users API and you authenticate the API calls from Poptin to GHL. Use your API key or OAuth token as required by the API, and keep credentials secure. This ensures only authorized actions like tagging and statistics syncing are performed. Always follow best practices for credential storage and rotation. If you encounter permission issues, verify that the API key has the correct scopes (e.g., socialplanner/tag.readonly) and that the token is included in the Authorization header for every request.
For basic syncing, focus on the endpoints that manage tags and statistics: GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags, POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags/details, and POST /social-media-posting/statistics. These give you the core data you need to tag posts and monitor engagement. Additional endpoints can be added later to extend capabilities (e.g., additional endpoints for custom reporting), but starting with these four ensures a solid foundation.
Yes. Tags can be generated from Poptin events and automatically applied to GHL records. You can create rules to map Poptin interactions to specific tags and have those tags sync whenever a post is published or updated. Keep tag naming consistent and document your mapping rules to avoid confusion as you scale.
No-code setup is designed to be approachable. Use the provided endpoints and a no-code automation tool to connect Poptin and the GHL Users API. You can configure the triggers, actions, and data mapping without writing code. If you need more advanced logic, you can always add lightweight scripting or use a middleware platform to handle complex transformations.
The typical data fields transferred include locationId, tags, details, and engagement metrics. Depending on the endpoint, you may also send or receive post content, timestamps, and summary statistics. Always validate the data schema in both Poptin and GHL to ensure fields line up correctly. When in doubt, start with a minimal dataset and gradually increase the fields as you confirm successful transfers.
Testing should start in a staging environment. Verify authentication works, endpoints respond with expected data, and data flows correctly between Poptin and GHL. Use test locationIds and dummy posts to simulate real workflows. Monitor logs for failures and implement basic retries to handle transient network issues.
API rate limits vary by plan and endpoint. Check your GHL account’s quota and implement simple backoff logic in your automation. If you repeatedly hit limits, consider staggering requests or batching updates. For long-term reliability, monitor usage trends and adjust the integration to stay within allowed limits.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
