Authenticate requests to the GHL Users API with an API key or OAuth token using the scope socialplanner/tag.readonly. Store credentials securely, rotate secrets regularly, and apply least privilege.
Authorize Salesmap to access GHL data and receive tags and statistics. Use a secure OAuth flow or API key exchange and store tokens safely.
GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags — Retrieve tags for a location to drive categorization in Salesmap; POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags/details — Retrieve enriched tag details; socialplanner/statistics.readonly — Read-only statistics for planning dashboards; POST /social-media-posting/statistics — Submit statistics payload for dashboards.
Trigger: Retrieve tags for a location to populate tag lists in Salesmap.
Actions: Use GET tags to populate lists, then use details to enrich each tag with additional fields.
Method Path: GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags
Key fields: locationId, tagName, tagDetails
Trigger: Sync posting statistics to Salesmap dashboards.
Actions: Use socialplanner/statistics.readonly to pull metrics; optional POST statistics to write back if needed.
Method Path: GET /socialplanner/statistics.readonly
Key fields: locationId, date, metric, value
Trigger: Pull read-only statistics to populate dashboards.
Actions: Use GET /socialplanner/statistics.readonly to fetch data and combine with tag context for richer insights.
Method Path: GET /socialplanner/statistics.readonly
Key fields: locationId, date, metric, value
Benefit: Build powerful integrations without writing custom code.
Benefit: Faster time to value with prebuilt endpoints and clear data mappings.
Benefit: Scalable data flows with secure authentication and role-based access.
Key elements include authentication, endpoint mapping, data field alignment, and error handling. The process covers credential management, rate limiting, retries, and data validation.
A secret credential used to authenticate requests to the GHL Users API.
A token granted after user authorization to access GHL resources securely.
A specific URL path that exposes an API operation.
A callback URL that receives real-time updates from GHL.
Use GHL tags to organize and schedule content in Salesmap for consistent campaigns.
Pull statistics from GHL to feed Salesmap dashboards with real time insights.
Use tag data and performance metrics to auto suggest engaging post ideas in Salesmap.
Obtain API credentials and authorize the Salesmap connection.
Map endpoints to Salesmap fields and set up data flows for tags and statistics.
Test the integration, verify data accuracy, and set up alerts.
Authentication with the GHL Users API uses either an API key or OAuth token. Start by generating an API key in your GHL developer console and attach the scope socialplanner/tag.readonly to limit access to tags. For ongoing security rotate keys every 90 days. If you prefer OAuth, complete the consent flow to receive an access token. Store tokens securely, periodically refresh, and apply least privilege to protect data.
The essential endpoints for a basic Salesmap integration are GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags and POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags/details to populate and enrich tag data, plus GET /socialplanner/statistics.readonly to fetch metrics. If you need write-back capabilities, use POST /social-media-posting/statistics to submit statistics. Always validate data schemas and handle errors gracefully.
Yes, read-only access is possible and common for dashboards. To modify data, you must request write permissions via OAuth scope. Salesmap can read tags and statistics without changing GHL data. Ensure you have correct scopes and tokens.
Map locationId in GHL to a location or account in Salesmap to ensure data attribution. Standardize tag fields so that tagName and tagDetails align with Salesmap data model.
GHL imposes rate limits on API calls. If you exceed them, implement exponential backoff and cache frequent results. Plan your integration with batching and avoid bursts that could hit limits.
Set up a sandbox or test environment in GHL to validate requests without affecting production data. Use mock data and small test locations to confirm field mappings and endpoint responses.
Create or request API credentials from your GHL developer portal, then configure a secure OAuth or API key exchange in Salesmap. Record client credentials securely, restrict access, and rotate keys periodically.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
