OAuth is a secure authorization workflow used to grant access without sharing passwords.
A URL path that performs an action (e.g., retrieve posts, update authors).
A URL-friendly title used to identify posts and categories uniquely.
Trigger a campaign when a new post is published, using the post content as the newsletter.
Segment Act-On audiences by blog category, automatically updating lists with new posts.
Publish author bios and related posts in a weekly digest.
Register your app in GHL and obtain client ID and secret. Store securely.
Choose the endpoints you need (e.g., GET emails/builder, POST blogs/posts) and set scope to emails/builder.readonly.
Test connections, validate data mappings, and enable auto-sync in Act-On.
The Blogs API integration with Act-On enables automatic publishing and synchronization of blog content and related metadata. It supports triggering campaigns based on new posts and ensures consistency across platforms.
OAuth is the preferred method for secure connections, but API keys can be used for scenarios with trusted networks. Ensure keys are stored securely and rotated regularly.
Common endpoints for basic sync include GET blogs/posts, GET blogs/categories, and GET blogs/authors, along with POST/PUT where necessary for updates.
Yes, you can map categories to Act-On lists and maintain alignment with slug-based routing across both systems.
Slug conflicts are resolved by using stable slug generation rules and by mapping to unique IDs in Act-On.
Yes—no-code workflow builders can orchestrate post publishing, newsletter sends, and subscriber updates.
Use HTTPS, rotate credentials, limit scope, and monitor logs. Enable IP allowlisting for added security.
