Authorize the connection with your Blogs API credentials. Use the GHL API key with the scope emails/builder.readonly and, when required, OAuth tokens. Store credentials securely.
Authenticate the EMR by securely storing and using an API key or token, plus any needed webhook validation to ensure only permitted data moves between systems.
Involved endpoints include GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, GET emails/schedule, GET /emails/schedule, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts, and GET /blogs/check-slug.
Trigger: A new patient is added in Aesthetic Record EMR, which creates or selects a welcome email template in Emails Builder.
Actions: Create or update an email template via POST /emails/builder, then send to the patient via the emails builder, and schedule follow-ups via emails/schedule.
POST emails/builder
Key fields: patient_id, email, templateId
Trigger: A new blog post is created in Blogs API.
Actions: Create blog post via POST /blogs/posts and share the digest with EMR contacts; optionally notify subscribers.
POST /blogs/posts
Fields: postTitle, content, slug, author
Trigger: Patient record updated in EMR triggers a subscriber sync.
Actions: Update subscriber associations via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId and maintain alignment with EMR changes.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Fields: postId, patientId, status

Obtain your GHL API key and set scope to emails/builder.readonly.
Connect endpoints like emails/builder and blogs/posts to your app by supplying tokens and base URLs.
Run tests, verify data flows, then deploy the integration.
The Blogs API is a collection of endpoints that lets you manage email templates, schedule messages, and publish blog content programmatically. It enables automated workflows between your EMR and email/blog systems without heavy coding. You can create templates, send campaigns, and track results all from a single API surface. TheDocs provide examples and best practices for secure integration.
In many cases you can set up the integration with minimal coding by using prebuilt actions and connectors. However, some organizations prefer developer guidance to tailor data mappings, authentication flows, and error handling. Weigh your team’s comfort with APIs when planning the project.
You can sync standard patient fields, emails, and blog-related data. Depending on permissions, you can push blog post alerts to patients and pull subscriber data for targeting. Always validate data governance and consent when moving PHI.
Typical scopes include read or write access to emails, blogs, and user schedules. For this page, the scope shown is emails/builder.readonly, which allows viewing templates and schedules. Adjust scopes to match your needs and keep security in mind.
Test endpoints by sending test payloads in a sandbox environment, then verify responses, status codes, and data integrity. Use logs and webhooks to confirm successful data flow between EMR and Blogs API.
Yes. No-code tools and automation platforms let you connect these services via triggers and actions without custom code. You can leverage prebuilt templates and visual flows to build the integration quickly.
Yes. You can synchronize patient email addresses for communication and education campaigns. Ensure you have consent and follow privacy requirements in your region.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
