Access the Blogs API from Ally Hub by using OAuth tokens with the appropriate scopes for reading and writing blog content. Store tokens securely, rotate them regularly, and register your app in the GHL developer console to obtain client credentials for endpoints like blogs/posts and blogs/url-slugs.
Ally Hub uses standard OAuth flows to connect to GHL APIs. Ensure your app is registered, redirect URIs are configured, and tokens are stored securely. Validate connections in a test environment before going live.
– GET emails/builder – POST emails/builder – GET emails/builder (readable list of email templates) – 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 – POST /blogs/post-update.write – GET /blogs/categories – GET /blogs/authors – GET /blogs/category.readonly – GET /blogs/posts – GET /blogs/categories – GET /blogs/authors
When a new draft is created in Ally Hub that should be published to your blog
Send payload to POST /blogs/posts to create the post, then publish by setting status via the same endpoint or subsequent update
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, authorId, categoryId, status
When a blog post draft or published post needs updates from Ally Hub
Call PUT /blogs/posts/:postId with updated content and metadata to sync changes
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug, status
Before publishing, verify slug existence to maintain unique URLs
Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to confirm slug availability
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug

Register your app in the GHL developer console, obtain client credentials, and perform the OAuth flow to grant access to blog endpoints.
Define which endpoints to use (e.g., POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId) and map your data fields (title, content, slug, etc.) to the Blogs API payloads.
Test in a sandbox, verify responses, handle errors gracefully, and then deploy to production with monitoring.
Answer: You will primarily interact with endpoints like GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, and POST /blogs/posts to create content. You can also validate slugs using GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure uniqueness before publishing. For simple publishing workflows, POST /blogs/posts is your core action. For updates, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId is used.
Answer: You do not have to write code if you use the no-code automation options in Ally Hub combined with the GHL API endpoints. Configure triggers, actions, and data mappings in the UI to automate blog publishing, updates, and slug checks. If complex logic is required, lightweight scripts or a middleware layer can be used, but it is not mandatory.
Answer: Use OAuth tokens with scoped access, store them securely (ideally in a secrets vault), rotate regularly, and implement token refresh flows. Treat tokens as sensitive data and limit their lifetime to minimize risk. Follow best practices for securely handling client IDs, secrets, and redirect URIs.
Answer: Yes. You can schedule posts or publish on a cadence by triggering POST /blogs/posts at defined times or via a scheduling workflow. The same endpoints support updating and republishing content on a cadence you define within Ally Hub.
Answer: Slug management is important for SEO and uniqueness. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug availability before publishing, and enforce consistent slug generation rules (lowercase, hyphens, no special characters).
Answer: Real-time updates can be achieved with webhooks where supported, but this integration primarily relies on REST endpoints. If webhooks are available, configure them to receive post-change events and trigger subsequent automation in Ally Hub.
Answer: Endpoint details are available in your GHL developer documentation and within the integration settings in Ally Hub. Use the exposed endpoints list (e.g., /blogs/posts, /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, /blogs/categories, /blogs/authors) as a reference for payload formats and response structures.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
