You’ll connect using the Blogs API scope emails/builder.readonly. Create a GHL connection, paste your API credentials, and enable the Blogs API for read‑only workflows by default (upgrade to write as needed).
4Degrees uses a secure API token. Store it safely, then configure the token in the GHL connection so 4Degrees can talk to Blogs API without exposing credentials in your workflows.

The Blogs API in this guide is the connector that lets 4Degrees talk to your blog content system via GHL. It exposes endpoints for creating, updating, and retrieving posts, as well as supporting metadata like categories and authors. This API enables automated content workflows without manual steps. You’ll typically use it to push new drafts from 4Degrees into your blog system and to keep existing posts synchronized, all through GHL automation rules.
No heavy coding is required. Use GHL’s visual workflow builder to set up triggers and actions that call the Blogs API endpoints. For advanced scenarios, light scripting can be used, but the primary goal here is to enable no‑code automation between 4Degrees and your blog content system.
Publish‑oriented endpoints like POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId are essential for creating and updating content. You may also use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs before publishing. Depending on your needs, endpoints for categories and authors help enrich posts with correct metadata.
Yes. You can schedule posts by combining the Blogs API with GHL scheduling actions. Create a post in 4Degrees, then trigger a scheduled publish in Blogs API to go live at a chosen time.
Test the integration in a sandbox workspace by creating a draft in 4Degrees and verifying that it creates a corresponding post in Blogs API. Validate slug generation, metadata mapping, and error handling. Use a dry‑run mode if available.
API credentials are typically managed in your GHL connections section. For the Blogs API, generate a token from theBlogs API dashboard, store it securely, and attach it to the GHL connection. 4Degrees credentials should be kept in a secure vault and referenced by the integration.
Handle errors with built‑in retry policies and clear failure alerts. Ensure you log error messages, implement exponential backoff, and verify network connectivity. If a post fails to publish, use the GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists check to diagnose slug conflicts and retry after resolving the issue.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
