The Users API requires a secure connection with the defined scope: socialplanner/tag.readonly. Obtain an API key or OAuth token from your GHL developer dashboard and grant read access to tags and statistics endpoints. Store credentials securely in Zapier’s connection settings.
In Zapier App Connector, create or select the GHL connection for smartercontact. Authenticate using the chosen method (API key or OAuth) and authorize access to the tags and statistics endpoints so the app can read and post data as needed.
Primary endpoints used: – GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags – POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags/details – socialplanner/statistics.readonly – POST /social-media-posting/statistics Note: Additional endpoints 5–17 are reserved for future expansion and may be documented as they are implemented.
Trigger: on-demand sync to pull latest user tags for a given location.
Actions: retrieve tags (GET) and fetch tag details (POST) to enrich smartercontact records.
GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags; POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags/details
locationId, tagId, tagName, createdAt, updatedAt
Trigger: generate or fetch statistics for reporting periods.
Actions: send statistics payloads (POST /social-media-posting/statistics) to smartercontact dashboards.
POST /social-media-posting/statistics
locationId, dateRange, metrics, granularity
Trigger: fetch readonly stats for audit and historical reporting.
Actions: access socialplanner/statistics.readonly to pull immutable metrics.
socialplanner/statistics.readonly
locationId, metricKey, date
Fast setup: connect via Zapier without writing code, reducing deployment time.
Cross-platform automation: sync tags and statistics across GHL and smartercontact automatically.
Centralized data insights: leverage unified analytics for smarter campaigns.
Understand the core elements and processes: endpoints, authentication, data mapping, and how Zapier connects GHL with smartercontact.
A specific URL on the GHL API used to perform a defined action, such as retrieving tags or posting statistics.
The method by which apps prove identity to GHL (API key or OAuth) to gain access to endpoints.
A label assigned to a piece of content or a data object in social posting that helps categorize and filter data.
Data points that summarize performance, often retrieved from the social posting endpoints for reporting.
Create a Zapier workflow that automatically fetches tags, compares them to a tag taxonomy, and flags inconsistencies for smartercontact managers.
Set up a weekly digest that aggregates key metrics from social posting statistics and delivers a summary to smartercontact stakeholders.
Trigger a detail fetch when smartercontact needs richer tag data for reporting or segmentation.
In Zapier, add the GHL connection for smartercontact and authenticate using your API key or OAuth credentials.
Enable the endpoints you plan to use (tags and statistics) and map fields to smartercontact data objects.
Run test zaps to verify data flow, then enable automations for ongoing syncing between GHL and smartercontact.
You’ll primarily use GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags to fetch current tags and POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags/details to pull detailed tag data. These endpoints provide the foundation for tagging intelligence in smartercontact. If you need to extend beyond these, review the endpoints list for future use. If you don’t see data, verify the locationId and ensure the tag scope your API key includes read access.
Authentication can be done via API key or OAuth, depending on how your GHL account is configured. In Zapier, create a new connection for the GHL app and supply the credentials with the socialplanner/tag.readonly scope granted. Regularly rotate credentials for security and monitor access logs for unusual activity.
Yes. The endpoints include socialplanner/statistics.readonly and POST /social-media-posting/statistics to retrieve and submit statistics data. Use these endpoints to generate campaign performance reports and feed smartercontact dashboards. Ensure date ranges and location identifiers are correctly specified.
Not necessarily. Start with the essential endpoints for tags and statistics and expand later as your workflows mature. You can enable additional endpoints in Zapier on demand as your integration needs grow.
Tag fields typically include id, name, locationId, createdAt, and updatedAt. When you fetch details, you may receive tag metadata and related attributes that help with segmentation and reporting in smartercontact.
Map fields from the GHL response (tagId, name, locationId) to your smartercontact fields (Tag ID, Tag Name, Location) in Zapier’s field mappings to ensure data integrity and consistent downstream usage.
If the connection fails, verify credentials, check the scopes granted to the API key, confirm the locationId, and review any rate limits. Also verify that the post body for statistics requests aligns with the required fields. If issues persist, reauthorize the connection and retry.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
