Authenticate requests with your GHL API credentials. Ensure your access token includes the scope emails/builder.readonly to view and interact with email templates and scheduling features.
Beamer authentication uses an API key or OAuth token issued for the Beamer app. Keep credentials secure, rotate regularly, and use restricted scopes where possible.
Endpoints included in this Beamer integration: – GET emails/builder – emails/builder.write – POST emails/builder – POST /emails/builder/data – DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId – emails/schedule.readonly – GET emails/schedule – blogs/post.write – POST /blogs/posts – blogs/post-update.write – PUT /blogs/posts/:postId – blogs/check-slug.readonly – GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists – blogs/category.readonly – GET /blogs/categories – blogs/author.readonly – GET /blogs/authors
Trigger: a new Beamer post is created.
Actions: create a blog post in Blogs API using POST /blogs/posts and update with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId as needed; optionally generate an email template via POST emails/builder for promotion.
POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
title, content, excerpt, slug, author, publishedAt
Trigger: a blog post is updated in Blogs API.
Actions: push updates to Beamer via the Beamer app or trigger an email/template update using POST /emails/builder/data; use POST /blogs/post-update.write for specific post updates.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; POST /blogs/post-update.write
postId, title, slug, content, updatedAt

Test in staging, verify data flow, fix mappings, and deploy to production.
No coding is required to set up the Beamer + Blogs API integration. The platform provides step-by-step configuration to connect the two apps. You can select triggers, map fields, and configure actions using point-and-click editors. This makes it accessible to marketing teams and non-developers. If you do have coding resources, you can customize the flow further with additional endpoints to tailor the data mapping or automate more complex scenarios.
For a basic sync, you’ll typically need endpoints that manage blog posts and templates. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to avoid duplicates, POST /blogs/posts to create posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and POST /emails/builder to generate promotional emails. The exact endpoints used depend on your workflow.
Yes. You can schedule Beamer email campaigns that feature new blog posts. Connect a trigger for new posts in Blogs API and use the Beamer templates to send a digest or promotion on a cadence you set (daily, weekly, or on publish).
Use API keys or OAuth tokens with scoped permissions. Rotate credentials regularly and store them securely, ideally in a secrets manager. For Beamer, keep the app-level token restricted to the necessary endpoints; for the Blogs API, use the emails/builder.readonly or more advanced scopes as needed.
If a slug already exists, the check endpoint helps you detect conflicts before publishing. You can choose to update the existing post, skip creation, or generate a new slug. Implement a conflict resolution rule in your workflow.
Map fields by type (title, content, excerpt, slug, date) and ensure consistent formatting between Beamer and Blogs API. Use sample data in your test environment to verify the mappings and set up fallback values for missing data.
Yes. Typical logging and monitoring can be done in Beamer and in the Blogs API. You can surface logs, error details, and status updates to your dashboard or send alerts when a call fails.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
