Authenticate using your GHL account credentials to generate an API token that Bento can use. Grant the necessary scope to enable blog-related actions, including reading email templates and managing blog posts.
Provide Bento with the access token and ensure the token includes the required scope: emails/builder.readonly for email-related templates and the blogs endpoints for creating, updating, and querying posts.

The Bento to Blogs API integration lets you automate publishing and management of blog posts directly from Bento by connecting to the Blogs API. It leverages secure endpoints to create, update, and retrieve posts without leaving your Bento workflow. You can control content, authors, and categories while respecting the necessary access scopes.
Available endpoints include post creation (POST /blogs/posts), post updates (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId), slug validation (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists), and retrieval of categories and authors (GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors). Additional email-related endpoints may be used for templates and campaigns as needed. Use the appropriate endpoints to fit your publishing workflow.
Authentication uses your GHL credentials to generate an API token with the required scopes. In Bento, you store and reference this token securely, ensuring Bento has access to the Blogs API endpoints for posts, categories, and authors. Regularly rotate tokens and follow best practices for secret management.
Slug checks prevent duplicate post URLs. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists prior to publishing to ensure a unique slug. If a slug exists, you can adjust the title or slug and retry. This helps maintain clean URLs and consistent SEO.
Yes. You can manage authors and categories via GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories, and assign them to posts during creation or updates with the appropriate payload. This enables richer metadata and proper organization of your content.
No-code benefits include rapid setup, drag-and-drop automation, and visual workflows that connect Bento to the Blogs API. This approach reduces custom scripting, accelerates publishing cycles, and scales as your content needs grow.
Beyond this guide, explore creative ideas such as automated content republishing to email campaigns, syncing updates across channels, and creating editorial pipelines that trigger reviews or approvals before publish.
