To begin, generate or secure your GHL API credentials with the required scope socialplanner/tag.readonly for tag data and socialplanner/statistics.readonly for statistics. In Tactiq, configure the connection to use these credentials so the app can read endpoint data.
In Tactiq, set up the GHL connection by selecting the GHL Users API option, entering your API credentials, and testing the connection to ensure smooth data retrieval.
1) GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags – Fetches tags for a location. 2) POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags/details – Retrieves tag details. 3) socialplanner/statistics.readonly – Read-only statistics access. 4) POST /social-media-posting/statistics – Submit or fetch statistics.
Trigger on new or updated tags in GHL to pull current tag data into Tactiq.
Action: Fetch tag details to enrich tag data in Tactiq.
GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags
locationId, tagId, tagName, createdAt, updatedAt
Trigger when new statistics data is available in GHL.
Action: Retrieve or push statistics data to Tactiq via the statistics endpoint.
POST /social-media-posting/statistics
locationId, statId, metrics, timestamp
Trigger when detailed tag data is required in Tactiq.
Action: Retrieve tag details to enrich the base tag data.
POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags/details
locationId, tagId, details
Fast setup with no code using the Zapier App Connector.
Automate data syncing for tags and statistics between GHL and Tactiq.
Centralize data access across GHL and Tactiq with simple workflows.
This glossary defines the common terms used when integrating the GHL Users API with Tactiq: endpoints, triggers, actions, and key data fields.
Application Programming Interface: a set of rules that lets applications communicate and share data.
A specific URL in an API that performs a function and returns data.
The process of verifying identity and granting access to secured resources.
A call from one server to another to deliver real-time data or events.
Automatically pull updated tags from GHL into Tactiq to reflect changes in your dashboards.
Use the statistics endpoint to populate metrics dashboards in Tactiq for real-time insights.
Show enriched tag details in Tactiq by pulling details via the details endpoint.
Step 1: In GHL, create an app entry and generate API credentials; then authorize the connection in Tactiq.
Step 2: Select the tags and statistics endpoints and map the data fields to Tactiq.
Step 3: Run tests, monitor logs, and deploy the integration to production.
The GHL Users API exposes data about people, tags, and activity within your GHL account. It lets apps read and pull information to power workflows in other tools. In this integration, Tactiq uses the Users API to surface engagement data, tags, and statistics inside your dashboards. By aligning with the GHL scope you grant, you control what data flows into Tactiq. In short, you authorize access to read tag data and statistics, then map fields to Tactiq so teams can act on up-to-date insights.
Commonly used endpoints in this connection are the tag and statistics endpoints. For example, GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags retrieves tags for a location, POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags/details fetches detailed tag data, and POST /social-media-posting/statistics returns aggregate metrics. The read-only nature of the tag data and the statistics data helps keep your dashboards accurate without modifying source data. If you need additional fields, you can expand mappings in Zapier to pull more details as supported by the GHL API.
No coding is required to connect GHL to Tactiq for most use cases. The Zapier App Connector provides a GUI-based setup to authorize credentials, pick endpoints, and create automated workflows. Once configured, Tactiq will pull data from the GHL Users API on a schedule or via triggers, without writing code. If you’re building advanced flows, you can still customize mappings and filters within Zapier’s UI to tailor the data you bring into Tactiq.
Updates flow according to your configured polling or trigger cadence. Zapier can poll the GHL endpoints at set intervals, and you’ll see refreshed data in Tactiq after each run. For real-time needs, you can leverage webhooks where supported to push events from GHL to Zapier and then into Tactiq. Most teams find that a balance between polling frequency and data freshness meets their reporting needs.
You can sync tag data, tag details, and statistics between GHL and Tactiq. Typical syncing includes locationId, tagId, tagName, details, metrics, and timestamps. You can map these fields into Tactiq dashboards to monitor tag activity and performance metrics across locations.
Security is driven by the credentials you supply from GHL and the scopes granted to Tactiq. Use API keys with restricted scopes and rotate credentials regularly. Ensure the connection is tested and re-authenticated if any permission changes occur.
If you encounter issues, start by re-authenticating the GHL connection and double-checking the selected endpoints and field mappings. Review Zapier task history or logs for errors, confirm the API scopes, and verify locationId values. If problems persist, reach out to support with your endpoint names and error messages.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
