GHL authentication for the Blogs API requires an OAuth token with access to blog resources. Use scopes that cover blog-related endpoints (for example, emails/builder.readonly within your setup) to read, create, update, and manage posts, categories, and authors.
Authenticate Archie by connecting its credentials to the Blogs API. Use API keys or OAuth flow to grant Archie permission to create and modify posts, fetch categories and authors, and schedule publishing securely.

Authorize the Blogs API in Archie and configure endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/authors.
Run end-to-end tests, verify post creation and updates, and monitor for errors or slug collisions.
No dedicated developer must be involved to start. Archie provides no-code triggers and actions that connect to the Blogs API using your existing GHL account, API keys, or OAuth credentials. If you do have developers, they can tailor field mappings and workflows for advanced use cases. The goal is to enable fast setup with templates and guides that anyone on your team can follow. If you do require deeper customization, your developer can extend mappings, add additional endpoints, or implement custom error handling while keeping the core no-code experience intact.
Essential endpoints include creating and updating posts (POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId), checking slug existence (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists), and retrieving authors and categories (GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories). Depending on your workflow, you may also use endpoint to update a post (POST /blogs/post-update.write) and to verify drafts before publishing. Archie guides you through mapping these endpoints to your editorial steps so you can publish with confidence.
Yes. You can schedule posts by setting a status or publish date via the Blogs API and using Archie automations to trigger the publish at a future time. Create a draft in Archie, map the publish date, and let the integration move the post from draft to published when the scheduled time arrives. If you need more control, you can implement time-based triggers or use a Zapier workflow to queue posts for publishing based on your calendar.
Security is built into the integration through OAuth tokens, scoped permissions, and controlled API keys. Archie only requests the minimum required access and supports revoking tokens if needed. Regular auditing and logging of actions help ensure that content changes are traceable and compliant with your policy.
If a slug already exists, the API typically returns a conflict or suggests an alternative slug. Archie can automatically generate a unique slug or prompt you to adjust the title. You can also implement a slug-check step before publishing to prevent collisions.
Yes. The integration supports syncing authors and categories from Blogs API to Archie and vice versa. You can fetch the latest lists and map them to Archie fields, ensuring your editor has up-to-date options when creating posts.
API documentation for the Blogs API is available in your GHL developer portal or through your integration provider. If you don’t have direct access, consult your account manager or support to obtain endpoint details, authentication requirements, and usage limits.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
