To access the GHL API for Blogs, obtain an OAuth 2.0 access token with the scope emails/builder.readonly and securely store it. Use the token in API requests and refresh it before expiration to maintain uninterrupted access.
Authenticate Appbot with its own credentials in Zapier or your chosen integration platform. Use app-specific keys or OAuth as supported, and verify callback URLs and scopes align with your workflow.
Key Blogs API endpoints used in this integration include: GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors. Additional endpoints such as GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories help enrich metadata for posts.
Trigger: A new blog post is created in Blogs API (POST /blogs/posts)
Actions: Create a corresponding post in Appbot, map title, content, and slug, and format fields for Appbot.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, author, published_at
Trigger: A blog post is updated in Blogs API (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId)
Actions: Update the corresponding Appbot post with new title, content, and slug; ensure ID mapping is maintained.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug
Trigger: Check slug existence via GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Actions: If slug does not exist, create a new Appbot post; if it exists, skip creation or update accordingly.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug, exists, postId
Rapid setup with no custom code required; leverage existing connectors to automate blog publishing and updates.
Consistent data across Apps with built-in error handling and retry mechanisms to reduce manual work.
Flexible triggers and actions that adapt to publishing workflows and editorial calendars.
This section defines core terms and data flows used in the Blogs API integration with Appbot via the GHL API.
A content item with title, body, slug, author, and metadata intended for publishing on a blog.
A URL-friendly, unique string generated from the post title used in the blog URL.
Zapier-style app connector that links GHL APIs with external services to automate workflows.
A specific URL path in an API used to perform a defined action, such as creating or updating a blog post.
Set up a workflow to publish drafts automatically once they pass review and are ready for publication.
Sync updated titles and slugs so Appbot reflects current post metadata and URLs.
Verify slug uniqueness across both systems to avoid duplicates and broken links.
Obtain a GHL API access token with scope emails/builder.readonly and prepare Appbot credentials for the Zapier connection.
Connect blog fields to Appbot fields, select triggers, and align endpoint paths for sync.
Run end-to-end tests, verify slug mappings, content formatting, and monitor for retries after deployment.
No code is required to set up the basic connection. Use the built-in triggers and actions in your integration platform to connect Blogs API to Appbot. Start with a simple post-creation flow to validate data mapping. If you need more complex logic, you can layer in conditional steps without writing code.
For a basic workflow you’ll typically use endpoints like POST /blogs/posts to create posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slug uniqueness. These provide the core capabilities for syncing content between Blogs API and Appbot.
Use sandbox or test environments in your integration platform. Trigger events with sample posts, verify field mappings, and inspect logs for any errors. Re-run tests after each change to ensure consistent results before going live.
Typical data includes title, content, slug, author, published_at, and metadata. You can also sync categories and tags to enrich Appbot posts. The exact fields depend on your mapping configuration.
Yes. Triggers, conditions, and actions can be customized to fit editorial workflows. You can add filters, delays, or multi-step branches to handle complex publishing pipelines without writing code.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
