Authenticate requests to the Blogs API from BigMailer using API keys and OAuth tokens as required by your GHL configuration. Include the Authorization header in your API calls.
Authorize BigMailer to access your Blogs API account by generating an API key with the appropriate scopes (emails/builder.readonly, blogs/post.write, etc.) and securely storing it in your app settings.
GET emails/builder; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; GET emails/schedule; GET blogs/posts; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors
Trigger: When a new post is published in Blogs API, BigMailer sends an email notification to subscribers.
Actions: fetch post data; format email content; queue send through Emails Builder.
POST /blogs/posts
title, slug, excerpt, content, authorId, publishDate
Trigger: Post metadata changes in Blogs API
Actions: update post via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; notify BigMailer to adjust scheduled emails
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, status, publishDate
Trigger: New author or category data added in Blogs API

Automate blog-driven campaigns without writing code.
Centralize content creation and distribution in a single workflow.
Real-time updates and personalized emails based on post activity.
This section defines the core concepts and processes used to connect Blogs API with BigMailer, including endpoints, authentication, and data flow.
A specific URL and method used to perform an action against an API, e.g., GET /blogs/authors.
A URL-friendly string derived from a post title used to identify the post in URLs.
Methods for authenticating requests. In this guide, you may use API keys or OAuth tokens.
An individual who receives emails from your BigMailer campaigns.
Trigger a multi-step email series when a new blog subscriber is added or when a fresh post is published, guiding readers from intro to engagement.
Automatically send a recap newsletter highlighting new posts and top categories to drive traffic and re-engagement.
Feature new or featured authors with links to author pages to boost authority and readership.
Generate and securely store your API key and/or OAuth tokens from the Blogs API for BigMailer.
Select the endpoints you will use (e.g., GET /blogs/authors, POST /blogs/posts) and assign necessary scopes (emails/builder.readonly, blogs/post.write).
Create automation sequences in BigMailer that react to blog events and publish emails via the Emails Builder.
You’ll typically authenticate with an API key or OAuth token, then include it in the Authorization header of each request. Ensure the token has the necessary scopes (e.g., emails/builder.readonly, blogs/post.write) for the actions you intend to perform. Store credentials securely in your BigMailer settings and rotate keys regularly to maintain security. The exact method depends on your Blogs API configuration and your GHL integration setup.
Essential endpoints include: GET emails/builder for template retrieval, POST /emails/builder/data for composing emails, POST /blogs/posts to create posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs, and GET /blogs/authors to pull author data. These enable automated blog-driven campaigns from creation to distribution within BigMailer.
Yes. By pulling data from GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories, you can segment campaigns by author or topic. Use this information to tailor subject lines, content, and sending times for different reader groups.
Use a sandbox or test environment to simulate post creation, updates, and email sends. Validate data mappings, verify that webhooks and API calls are triggering as expected, and review deliverability settings before enabling live campaigns. Many platforms offer test endpoints or sample data for safe testing.
If a post is updated, use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to apply changes and propagate them to associated campaigns. If a post is deleted, consider deactivating related emails or rescheduling notifications to avoid sending outdated content.
In GHL, API credentials are stored in the connected apps or integrations area. Generate an API key with the required scopes and securely input it into BigMailer’s integration settings. Follow your org’s security policy for credential storage and rotation.
Rate limits depend on the Blogs API and your GHL plan. Plan your automation to retry gracefully, implement exponential backoff, and batch requests when possible to avoid hitting limits. Monitor API usage from the admin dashboards to stay within allowed quotas.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
