To authenticate, generate an API key or OAuth token from your GHL account and securely store it in Zapier. Use the token when calling the GHL Users API endpoints.
In Zapier, create a new connection using the GHL API key or OAuth token, ensure the correct scope (socialplanner/tag.readonly), and test against a sample endpoint.
GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags — Retrieve tags for a location; POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags/details — Retrieve or update tag details; socialplanner/statistics.readonly — Read statistics; POST /social-media-posting/statistics — Submit posting statistics.
Trigger: Fetch tags for a location using GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags.
Actions: Retrieve tag details with GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags/details and store in APPNAME.
GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags
locationId, tags, details
Trigger: Post statistics via POST /social-media-posting/statistics to log posting metrics.
Actions: Read statistics from socialplanner/statistics.readonly and submit via POST /social-media-posting/statistics to generate reports.
POST /social-media-posting/statistics
locationId, statistics, timestamp
Trigger: Schedule a daily pull from socialplanner/statistics.readonly.
Actions: Compile data from endpoints into a dashboard in APPNAME.
socialplanner/statistics.readonly
timestamp, metrics, locationId
Speed: Build automations quickly without writing code.
Flexibility: Map fields between GHL and APPNAME using Zapier UI.
Reliability: Schedule data sync and handle retries automatically.
A quick glossary of core concepts for GHL to APPNAME integrations using the Users API, including how data flows and where to configure mappings.
An exposed URL that performs a specific action or returns data when called with proper authentication.
Proving identity to access the API, typically via API keys or OAuth tokens.
A mechanism for real-time notifications by sending HTTP requests to a configured URL.
Aligning fields from one source to another to ensure correct data transfer.
Pull tag data from GHL and feed a live analytics dashboard in APPNAME to monitor engagement by location.
Schedule weekly reports by integrating statistics endpoints into APPNAME via Zapier.
Trigger alerts in APPNAME when key tag details change in GHL.
In Zapier, create a connection using your GHL API key or OAuth token and test the connection.
Select relevant endpoints such as tags, details, and statistics and map GHL fields to APPNAME fields.
Set up automation workflows and dashboards; monitor logs for errors and adjust mappings as needed.
You can start without code by using Zapier’s built in authentication options. Connect your GHL account to Zapier, then test each endpoint in a safe sandbox. If you need advanced control, switch to API keys or OAuth tokens.
For basic tagging and statistics, use endpoints GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags and POST /social-media-posting/statistics, then map fields in Zapier’s UI. Test with a sample locationId to verify data flow.
Authentication uses API keys or OAuth tokens. Ensure the token has the required scope and is stored securely in Zapier. Refresh tokens before expiry and rotate credentials as needed.
Webhooks enable real-time updates if the API supports them; otherwise, poll endpoints on a schedule and push updates via Zapier Webhooks when available. Configure your APPNAME to listen for these events.
Yes. No-code dashboards can be built using APPNAME or Zapier visualization apps to display metrics from the GHL Users API. Create reusable templates and share dashboards with stakeholders.
Common mappings include locationId, tags, count, timestamp, and metrics. Align terminology across GHL and APPNAME to avoid confusion. If you have custom fields, map them explicitly in Zapier.
If a connection fails, check authentication, endpoint availability, and rate limits. Review Zapier task history and GHL API logs for clues. Retry with exponential backoff and contact support if issues persist.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
