Secure the link between ActiveTrail and the Blogs API by using an API key with the required scope emails/builder.readonly. Store credentials securely and rotate keys regularly. The connection relies on proper permissions to read and manage emails and blog data.
In ActiveTrail generate a trusted API credential and configure it in your GHL integration settings. Grant access to the endpoints described in this guide and use the key to authorize requests to blogs and emails resources.
– GET emails/builder – POST emails/builder – POST /emails/builder/data – DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId – GET emails/schedule – GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists – POST /blogs/posts – PUT /blogs/posts/:postId – GET /blogs/authors – GET /blogs/categories – GET blogs/post.write – GET /blogs/category.readonly – GET /blogs/posts – POST blogs/post.write – POST /blogs/post-update.write – GET /blogs/check-slug.readonly
Trigger: a final draft is saved in ActiveTrail then posts are created in GHL via the blogs/posts endpoint
Actions: map title and content from ActiveTrail to the post payload; set slug and categories for SEO and routing
POST /blogs/posts
Key fields: title, content, slug, author, categories, status
Trigger: whenever an email template is created or updated in ActiveTrail to sync with GHL builders
Actions: create or update emails/builder with subject, content and metadata
POST emails/builder
Key fields: locationId, templateId, content, subject, sender
Trigger: new or updated authors or categories in Blogs API are reflected in ActiveTrail
Actions: sync authors and categories data and tag campaigns accordingly
GET /blogs/authors
Key fields: authorId, name, bio; categoryId, name, slug
Automate content to email workflows without writing code. Speed up publishing and campaigns by using endpoints and field mappings.
Keep data consistent across platforms with real time sync and centralized data mapping
Scale marketing with flexible end points and reusable templates for posts and emails
This section defines endpoints, triggers, actions and fields used to connect ActiveTrail with the Blogs API
A specific URL path in the Blogs API used to perform a function such as creating a post or fetching authors
An event that starts an automation or workflow between ActiveTrail and the Blogs API
A task performed in response to a trigger such as publishing a post or updating an email template
A URL friendly version of a title used for SEO and routing
Set up a workflow that creates a new blog post in GHL whenever you finalize a draft in ActiveTrail
Automatically generate an email that highlights the new post and links back to the blog
Keep author bios and category tags aligned between ActiveTrail and GHL to improve segmentation
Generate an API key in ActiveTrail and configure the corresponding credentials in your GHL integration with the required scopes
Choose the Endpoints you will use and map fields like title, content, slug and categories to their counterparts in ActiveTrail
Run tests, simulate failures and set up monitoring to ensure reliable data flow
No coding is required for this integration. The setup uses configurable endpoints and field mappings to automate workflows. If you are comfortable with basic data mapping, you can complete the connection in minutes. In case of complex mappings, use the provided examples as a starting point and adjust fields as needed.
For blog content, use the blogs endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/authors to pull author data. For emails, use GET emails/builder and POST emails/builder/data to manage templates and builders. Validate slug existence with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Map title, content, and slug from ActiveTrail to the post payload. Align author and category fields with the Blogs API. Use consistent data types and formats to avoid errors.
If something goes wrong, you can disable the integration, revert recent mapped changes, and re-test. The endpoints provide id and status fields to help restore state and audit logs.
Latency varies with API plan and network. In a typical setup you can expect near real time data syncing and occasional minor delays during peak traffic.
Most plans have generous rate limits. If you anticipate heavy usage, implement queuing and exponential backoff to prevent throttling and ensure smooth retries.
The integration guide includes a link to official API documentation and endpoint reference. You can also access developer resources within the respective platforms.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
