Authenticate your AidaForm connection to Blogs API by exchanging credentials and granting the necessary scope. Use the Blogs API credentials from your GHL account and apply the required scopes to securely authorize requests from AidaForm.
Link AidaForm to your GHL account by approving the app and selecting permissions for blog creation, editing, and taxonomy lookups (categories and authors).

PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Post ID, Title, Content, Slug
When a new category or author is added to the content workflow
Use GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to retrieve lists; optionally POST to create new ones if supported

Create blog posts directly from AidaForm submissions without writing code.
Automate publishing schedules, reminders, and content updates using existing workflows.
Leverage GHL workflows for audience targeting and autoresponders.
Key elements and processes covered: endpoints, triggers, actions, fields, and data mappings.
An application programming interface that allows apps to communicate and share data.
A URL-friendly identifier used to publish and retrieve blog posts.
A specific URL path that exposes a function in the API.
A callback mechanism that notifies your apps of events in real time.
Capture form data and instantly generate a new blog post draft via POST /blogs/posts.
Check slug existence with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before publishing using PUT if needed.
Keep taxonomy in sync by pulling authors and categories from the API and mapping to AidaForm fields.
Grant access to both services and select the required scopes for blog management.
Set up POST /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors in your workflow.
Run test submissions, verify posts publish, and confirm slug uniqueness.
No coding is required. Use the no-code interface to connect AidaForm with the Blogs API and map form fields to blog post fields. The integration handles authentication and data routing between the two apps. You can reuse templates and run test submissions to verify outcomes.
For a basic publish you typically need to create a post with POST /blogs/posts and ensure a unique slug with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. Mapping the form title and content to the post body is common practice. Optional steps include assigning a category and author via their respective endpoints.
Yes. Use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update an existing post. You can also leverage blogs/post-update.write to trigger additional updates or notifications as part of the workflow.
Categories and authors are retrieved with GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors. Map these to form fields so users can select existing items. If needed, create or sync new categories/authors within your workflow.
Slug validation helps prevent duplicate URLs. Check existing slugs with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before publishing. If the slug exists, adjust the title or slug and retry the request.
Security is ensured via HTTPS and credential-based authentication with scoped permissions. Use OAuth or API keys with the principle of least privilege and rotate credentials regularly.
Test the integration in a sandbox or with sample submissions before going live. Verify post creation, updates, slug validation, and that triggers fire as expected; review error logs for troubleshooting.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
