To securely access the Blogs API from your app, use OAuth 2.0 and API keys. Start by creating a client in your GHL account and exchanging tokens.
In Bloomerang Fundraising, generate an API key and connect it to Blogs API with standard OAuth 2.0 flows. Tokens should be stored securely and refreshed automatically.
Common endpoints include: GET emails/builder to fetch email templates; GET emails/schedule to view scheduled sends; POST /blogs/posts to publish new blog content; POST /emails/builder/data to update an email template; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update a post; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs; GET /blogs/categories to list categories; GET /blogs/authors to retrieve author data.
Triggered when a Bloomerang event occurs (for example a new donor) and a matching email template is needed from the Blogs API.
Action: Fetch template via GET emails/builder and map donor data into the template.
GET emails/builder
donorEmail, donorId, templateId
Triggered by Bloomerang donor milestones or campaigns to generate a new blog post.
Action: Create a blog post via POST /blogs/posts and publish or queue for review.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, author, categories
Triggered by Bloomerang campaign status to schedule emails at optimal times.
Action: Check and align schedule using GET emails/schedule; map campaign timings.
GET emails/schedule
campaignId, scheduleTime

No code means faster adoption across marketing, fundraising, and operations teams.
Easier testing and iteration without writing code, with clear data mappings.
An overview of essential elements and processes when linking Blogs API with Bloomerang Fundraising, including endpoints, authentication, triggers, and data mapping.
A specific URL path in an API that performs a defined action, such as retrieving email templates (GET emails/builder) or creating a post (POST /blogs/posts).
A URL-friendly version of a post title used in blogs to create readable links.
A lightweight callback URL you provide so the source service can push data to you in real time when events occur.
An authorization framework that lets apps obtain access tokens to call APIs securely, with token refresh support.
Automatically generate blog posts from major donor milestones and publish them with Blogs API.
Use Bloomerang insights to tailor email templates in the Blogs API and trigger targeted campaigns.
Publish a weekly blog summarizing impact and campaign progress using Bloomerang data.
Create OAuth credentials for both systems and exchange access tokens to authorize API calls securely.
Map Bloomerang donor fields to Blog templates and select endpoints like GET emails/builder and POST blogs/posts.
Run end-to-end tests, verify data integrity, and set alerts for failures.
Yes. You can start with no-code connectors or the visual workflow builder provided by Blogs API to connect Bloomerang Fundraising. A basic understanding of OAuth 2.0 and endpoint selection is enough to get running. You can progressively add custom mappings as you grow familiar with the data fields.
Most integrations rely on OAuth 2.0 tokens plus API keys. You will configure a client, grant the necessary scopes, and exchange authorization codes for access tokens. Remember to securely store tokens and refresh them before they expire.
Commonly used endpoints for content updates include POST /blogs/posts to publish new content and GET emails/builder to fetch templates. For validation, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists helps ensure slug uniqueness, and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId can update an existing post.
Yes. Scheduling is supported via blogs and email endpoints. You can queue emails using the schedule mechanism and publish blog posts on a set timetable. This helps maintain consistent donor communications.
Yes. No-code testing is supported with sandbox environments, test data, and visual workflow builders. Start with test events and verify end-to-end data mappings before going live.
Data mapping typically involves aligning fields from Bloomerang (donor, campaign, gift) to corresponding blog or email template fields in Blogs API. Use field maps and transformation rules to ensure data sits in the right place.
Rate limits vary by plan and endpoint. Check the API docs for the latest quotas and implement retry/backoff logic to handle spikes without impacting donor experience.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
