Begin by obtaining an API key or OAuth token for the Blogs API and grant Boulevard the required scopes, such as emails/builder.readonly. Use secure token exchange and store credentials safely.
Boulevard needs permission to access the Blogs API endpoints listed here; approve the connection in your GHL dashboard and grant the necessary scopes.
GET emails/builder, GET emails/schedule, POST /emails/builder/data, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/post-update.write, GET /blogs/posts
Trigger: when Boulevard publishes a new post, automatically pull content via GET /blogs/posts and push it into an email draft with GET /emails/builder.
Actions: map post title, content, and excerpt to email templates; schedule delivery using the emails/schedule endpoints.
Method path: use GET /blogs/posts to fetch content and POST /blogs/posts to create or update, then POST /emails/builder to trigger an email.
Key fields: postId, title, slug, content, excerpt, category, author, scheduledDate.
Trigger: when categories or authors change, sync metadata in Boulevard via GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors.
Actions: update Boulevard records with new categories/authors to keep campaigns accurate.
Method path: GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors; optionally GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slugs.
Key fields: categoryId, authorId, slug, postId, title.
Trigger: new or updated post is available in the Blogs API; alert Boulevard and subscribers.
Actions: publish notifications via emails/builder and schedule via emails/schedule.
Method path: POST /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; then push content to email builders.
Key fields: postId, title, content, status, publishedAt.
Create repeatable automations without writing code: publish, promote, and track posts using templates.
Real-time data sync ensures campaigns reflect the latest posts and categories.
Reusable blocks and workflows accelerate new campaigns across channels.
In this guide, key elements include endpoints, triggers, actions, and field mappings that power the Boulevard integration with the Blogs API.
Application Programming Interface that lets Boulevard request and send data to the Blogs API.
A specific URL path in the Blogs API used to retrieve or modify resources such as posts, categories, or authors.
A URL in Boulevard that the Blogs API calls to notify you of events like new posts or updates.
Authorization flow allowing Boulevard to access the Blogs API without sharing passwords.
Automatically summarize weekly posts from Boulevard and send a digest via email templates.
Segment subscribers by category and deliver targeted newsletters using Boulevard templates.
Push alerts to Slack or email when new posts are published in the Blogs API.
Grant access to Boulevard in the GHL dashboard and generate tokens for the Blogs API.
Select endpoints such as GET emails/builder, GET /blogs/categories, and POST /blogs/posts to enable automation.
Test triggers and actions with sample data, then move to production.
The Blogs API offers programmatic access to posts, categories, and authors, allowing Boulevard to pull content, check slugs, and publish updates. Use the endpoints listed above to build automations, templates, and triggers without code, enabling faster content campaigns.
Authentication is via API keys or OAuth tokens. Ensure your Boulevard app has the emails/builder.readonly scope for read access. Rotate keys regularly and store credentials securely; never expose tokens in client-side code.
Common endpoints include GET emails/builder, GET blogs/categories, and POST /blogs/posts for publishing. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update posts.
Yes—filters are supported by the API to target posts by category, author, or status. In Boulevard, map those fields to your email templates and audience segments for precise campaigns.
The API may enforce rate limits; if you hit limits, implement backoff and caching in your automations. Contact support to adjust limits for high-traffic campaigns if needed.
Start with a sandbox or test posts to validate triggers and actions. Use the built-in testing tools in GHL and Boulevard dashboards to verify data mappings and flows.
Data mapping is done by aligning API fields (title, content, category, author) with Boulevard template fields. Create reusable templates and consider field aliases to simplify future integrations.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
