Choose a secure authentication method (OAuth 2.0 or API keys) to authorize requests to the Blogs API from GHL, ensuring the allowed scope emails/builder.readonly is applied when reading templates and drafts.
Set up credentials in Alegra to authorize calls to the Blogs API via GHL, store keys securely, and rotate them regularly.
Emails: GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, GET emails/schedule, GET /emails/schedule; Blogs: POST /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors; Others: GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, POST /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors.
Trigger: a new or updated blog in Alegra triggers a POST to /blogs/posts to publish via the Blogs API.
Actions: map fields (title, content, slug, category, author), then post to /blogs/posts and confirm response.
Method path: POST /blogs/posts (and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId) for updates
Key fields: title, content, slug, categoryIds, authorId
Trigger: when categories or authors are added/updated in GHL, sync via GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors
Actions: read and map fields; update local Alegra mappings; ensure IDs match
Method path: GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors
Key fields: categoryName, authorName, slug
Trigger: before publish, check GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to avoid duplicates
Actions: validate or generate slug, update post accordingly, ensure SEO metadata consistency
Method path: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: slug, title, metaDescription
Automate publishing and editing without writing code.
Keep categories and authors in sync across platforms with minimal setup.
Centralize SEO metadata, slugs, and post data for consistent search visibility.
Understand how API endpoints, data fields, and authentication flow work together across GHL, Blogs API, and Alegra for a smooth integration.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to perform an action or retrieve data from a service.
A URL-friendly version of a post title used to identify content and improve SEO.
The process of verifying identity and granting access to APIs (OAuth, API keys, tokens).
A callback URL that receives real-time data updates from an API.
Automatically pull drafts from Alegra into GHL for review and publish.
Sync titles, slugs, and meta descriptions between systems for consistency and better search performance.
Route posts to the correct author and category in both platforms with automatic mappings.
Obtain credentials for the Blogs API in GHL and securely store them in Alegra.
Define how blog post fields map to Alegra fields and configure triggers.
Run tests to ensure endpoints respond correctly and deploy to production.
Answer: The integration connects Alegra with the Blogs API inside GHL so you can publish blog content from Alegra using the Blogs API. It also lets you pull author and category data for accurate mapping. This setup eliminates manual copying and ensures consistency across platforms.
Answer: You can start with API credentials and OAuth or API keys; no heavy coding is required if you use the native connectors and mapping features in GHL. Some basic setup for field mappings and triggers is recommended.
Answer: Critical endpoints include POST /blogs/posts to publish, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs, GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to map metadata. Depending on your workflow, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId may be used for updates.
Answer: Authentication typically uses OAuth 2.0 or API keys. Ensure the token has the necessary scope (emails/builder.readonly for read actions) and securely store credentials in both systems. Rotate keys regularly.
Answer: Yes. Use the endpoints GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to keep Alegra synchronized with GHL. Automated triggers can sync new or updated items to maintain consistency.
Answer: Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check for slug collisions before publishing. If a slug exists, generate a new slug or modify the title to create a unique slug and update the post accordingly.
Answer: Look for the official API docs and the example workflows in the integration guide. You can also explore community templates and sample mappings for common use cases like post publishing and category synchronization.
