puts response.read_bodyCreates a new social connection setup flow and returns it as
connect_url.
After the user completes the setup flow, call GET /social/connections to find the new social_connection_id.
By default, each request creates a new social profile and uses one profile slot. Pass social_profile_id to open setup for an existing profile without creating another slot. To connect another account on the same platform, create a separate profile. If the organization has reached its profile limit, creating a new profile returns an error and no setup URL is created.
Set connection_name to the name you want displayed at the top of the hosted connection page. Names may be duplicated: two requests with the same name create separate profiles with distinct social_profile_id values. Use these IDs to identify profiles; names are labels, not unique identifiers. This label does not rename the connected YouTube channel or other social account.
To rename an existing profile, use Update Social Profile.
