Authenticate requests with your GHL API key. Include the key in request headers and request the appropriate scope for blog related endpoints.
In BrightManager, connect your GHL account by entering the API credentials in the app settings and test the connection to confirm access to blog endpoints.
Available endpoints include 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. These cover creating, updating, slug checks and retrieving categories and authors.
Trigger: a new blog draft is ready in BrightManager which creates a post in GHL via POST /blogs/posts
Actions: call POST /blogs/posts, set title, content, slug, category and author, then publish.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, categoryIds, authorId, status
Trigger: BrightManager detects a post update
Actions: update post via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, propagate title and content changes
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug, categoryIds, authorId
Trigger: attempt to publish a post from BrightManager
Actions: check slug availability with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, fetch categories with GET /blogs/categories and authors with GET /blogs/authors
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug
No code automation lets you connect systems quickly and iterate on workflows without developers.
Centralized content automation brings blog management into BrightManager.
Prebuilt endpoints let you experiment with publishing, updating and slug checks fast.
Below are definitions of terms, data elements and processes used in this guide to help you implement the integration.
Application Programming Interface that enables applications to communicate with GHL data and services.
A URL friendly string used to identify a blog post in the web address and in SEO metadata.
A specific URL in the API that performs a function when called with parameters.
A callback HTTP URL that GHL can notify when events occur in BrightManager or the Blogs API.
Generate weekly summaries from published posts and push to BrightManager for social and email newsletters.
Use slug data and category associations to plan future posts with strong SEO potential.
Publish posts to the Blog and mirror highlights in BrightManager newsletters or social channels.
Get your GHL API key and client credentials from the developer console and keep them secure.
Enter the credentials in BrightManager app settings and select the Blogs API scope required for your workflows.
Run test requests to create, update and fetch posts, verify slug checks and then enable automation.
The Blogs API exposes endpoints for creating, updating and retrieving blog related data such as posts, categories and authors. In BrightManager you can trigger actions when content is updated or published, reducing manual steps and ensuring consistency across channels.
Endpoint coverage includes post creation via POST /blogs/posts, post updates via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId and slug checks via GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. You can also fetch categories and authors via GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to populate fields in posts.
Authentication is done with your GHL API key or OAuth credentials depending on your setup. Ensure your app in BrightManager is configured with the correct credentials and that the requests include the proper authorization header.
Yes. BrightManager can automate publishing, updates and slug checks by calling the Blogs API endpoints on trigger events. This enables consistent content cadence without manual steps.
Slug checks prevent duplicate or conflicting URLs. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify availability before publish. If a slug exists, adjust the title or slug and retry.
Common errors include authorization failures, missing required fields and rate limiting. Retry with exponential backoff and verify credentials and scopes.
Look for official payload templates in the GHL developer docs or your BrightManager configuration. They show the expected keys for title, content, slug and other post fields that you can map in your workflow.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
