In GHL, generate a secure API key for the Blogs API scope and connect it to your Bokun workflow. Store credentials securely and rotate keys periodically to maintain access control.
Within GHL or Zapier, authorize Bokun as a connected app so Bokun content can flow into the Blogs API. Complete any OAuth or API key setup required by the Bokun integration.
Endpoint examples: GET emails/builder; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; GET emails/schedule; 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: New Bokun blog post is published
Action: Create a new post in GHL via POST /blogs/posts; ensure slug uniqueness with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; map title, content, author, and category from Bokun data
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, author, slug, category
Trigger: Bokun post is updated
Action: Update an existing GHL post with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; propagate title, content, and slug changes
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, slug, content
Trigger: New author or category added in Bokun
Action: Map to GHL authors/categories using GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories; create or update taxonomy accordingly
GET /blogs/authors
authorId, authorName, categoryId, categoryName
No coding required — use visual automation tools to connect Bokun content to GHL blog posts and schedules.
Bi-directional data sync keeps authors, categories, and posts up to date across Bokun and GHL without writing scripts.
Fast deployment of content workflows reduces manual posting and speeds time-to-publish.
This glossary explains terms frequently used in GHL integrations with Bokun and the Blogs API.
GHL refers to the GHL platform — an all-in-one marketing, CRM, and automation system. In this guide, GHL acts as the integration layer that connects Bokun with the Blogs API.
API stands for Application Programming Interface; it enables two apps like Bokun and the Blogs API to communicate securely.
Slug is a URL-friendly identifier derived from a post title used in the blog post URL.
Webhook is a way for one app to notify another in real time when something changes (for example, a new Bokun post is published).
When Bokun flags a new event or product blog idea, automatically create a corresponding blog post in GHL using POST /blogs/posts.
Aggregate Bokun content into a weekly roundup in GHL to keep your audience engaged with fresh, curation-based posts.
Synchronize Bokun authors and categories with GHL to maintain consistent taxonomy across platforms.
In your GHL account, add a new integration by selecting Blogs API and Bokun, then grant the required scopes and authenticate the connection.
Map Bokun triggers (new post, post updates) to GHL actions (create or update blog posts), and set up field mappings (title, content, author, category).
Run tests, verify content synchronization, and enable alerting for failed runs or API errors.
The Bokun to Blogs API connection is a no-code bridge that automates publishing and syncing content between Bokun and GHL. It uses the endpoints listed to read author and category data and to create or update blog posts in GHL. You can tailor triggers and mappings to fit your publishing workflow. You can also extend the setup with conditional steps or filters in Zapier or your GHL connector to handle exceptions and retries.
No heavy coding is required if you use visual automation tools like Zapier or the GHL connectors to map Bokun data to the Blogs API. For basic flows, built-in triggers and actions are enough; for advanced logic, you can add filters, delays, and conditional routes.
Commonly used endpoints include POST /blogs/posts to create posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update posts, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slug availability, GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to fetch taxonomy. Your exact workflow will determine which endpoints are most active.
Slug conflicts are avoided by checking for existing slugs with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before creating new posts. If a slug exists, you can augment the slug with a unique identifier or date to ensure uniqueness.
Yes. You can map Bokun authors and categories to GHL by pulling data from GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories and reflecting that taxonomy in GHL blog posts. This ensures consistent author and category associations across platforms.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan and the Blogs API. Plan for bursts by batching requests when possible and implement simple retry logic with exponential backoff for transient errors.
You can view logs in the Zapier task history or in the GHL connector activity panel. These logs show triggers fired, actions performed, and any errors encountered during synchronization.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
