To begin, obtain your Blogs API credentials (client ID, client secret, or API key). Use OAuth 2.0 or API key headers to authorize requests. Store credentials securely and test permissions before enabling automations.
In Blinq, set up a new App connection by entering your Blogs API credentials and selecting the required scopes (e.g., emails/builder.readonly). Run a test connection to confirm access.
Core endpoints include: GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder/data, GET emails/schedule, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, and related read-only endpoints for categories and authors. Use these to create, update, and fetch blog content, schedules, and metadata.
Trigger: When a new article draft is ready in Blinq, automatically create a post in Blogs API and schedule publishing.
Actions: Create post, set publish date, update post metadata, publish automatically.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, status, author, categories
Trigger: When a new category or author is added or updated in Blogs API, sync to Blinq.
Actions: Create or update categories and authors in Blogs API; map to Blinq fields.
POST /blogs/categories
name, description, parentCategory
Trigger: When a post is updated in Blinq, update the corresponding post in Blogs API.
Actions: Update post content, refresh slug, sync metadata and SEO fields.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug, categories
Automate publishing workflows without writing code, saving time and reducing manual errors.
Centralize post, category, and author management across Blinq and Blogs API.
Accelerate content cycles with repeatable, testable automations.
This section defines the core elements (endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions) and the processes to connect Blinq with the Blogs API, map data, and test workflows.
GHL refers to the automation platform API used for building integrations; in this page it stands for the Blogs API when paired with Blinq.
A specific URL in the Blogs API that performs a defined action (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) when triggered by Blinq.
The method by which Blinq proves identity to Blogs API (e.g., OAuth 2.0 or API keys) to authorize requests.
A URL-friendly identifier for a blog post used in routing and SEO metadata.
Feed Blinq with topic briefs and automatically generate blog posts in Blogs API for quick publication.
Synchronize editorial calendars and schedule posts across Blinq and Blogs API for consistent publishing.
Suggest SEO-friendly titles, slugs, and meta descriptions during post creation in Blinq
Collect client ID, client secret, and required scopes (e.g., emails/builder.readonly) from Blogs API and securely store them.
In Blinq, create a new App connection and enter your Blogs API credentials, then map fields for posts, categories, and authors.
Run a test connection, verify sample post creation, and enable automation workflows for publish and update.
GHL refers to the automation platform’s API suite used for building integrations; in this guide we use GHL to denote the Blogs API when paired with Blinq. The Apps integration in Blinq acts as the bridge to call these endpoints. No custom code is required to start, only correctly authenticated requests and mapped fields. For best results, begin with a test connection and a small set of posts to validate field mapping.
No dedicated coding is required. Blinq provides a no-code interface to connect to the Blogs API, configure authentication, and map post, category, and author fields. If your workflow becomes more complex, Blinq supports additional automation steps and conditional logic without writing code.
Core endpoints include creating posts (POST /blogs/posts), updating posts (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId), retrieving slug availability (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists), and fetching categories and authors (GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors). These cover typical content publishing workflows. Adjust mappings to fit your editorial process.
Use OAuth 2.0 or API keys provided by Blogs API and keep credentials secure. In Blinq, always test scopes and permissions before enabling automations. Monitor request headers and rotate credentials periodically for added security.
Yes. Blinq can create, update, and assign categories and authors. You can map Blinq fields to the Blogs API’s category and author endpoints and keep metadata synchronized with post updates.
Use Blinq’s test connection feature to verify credentials, scopes, and field mappings. Run a small batch of test posts, check that slugs are generated correctly, and confirm posts appear in Blogs API as expected.
Rate limits depend on your Blogs API plan. Plan automations to batch requests where possible and implement retry logic for transient errors. If you anticipate spikes, consider gradual ramping of automated jobs.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
