No coding is required to connect Brilliant Directories with the Blogs API. The platform provides no-code connectors and clear field mappings to streamline setup. Start by authenticating both systems and activating basic endpoints like GET /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/categories. As you test, you’ll see data flow between Brilliant Directories and the Blogs API in real time.
For a basic setup, focus on essential endpoints: GET /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, and POST /blogs/posts for creation. Use the emails endpoints to schedule communications when new posts go live. Map key fields such as title, content, and slug to ensure clean data transfer.
Test the connection by triggering a sample post creation and verifying that the post appears in Brilliant Directories. Check response codes, ensure the slug is unique, and confirm email workflows run as expected. Use test environments before going live.
Yes. You can schedule blog posts and email campaigns to publish on the same cadence. Use the scheduling endpoints to align publication times, then trigger email sends accordingly.
If a slug already exists, you can either update the existing post or generate a new slug variant. Implement checks in your mapping logic to handle duplicates gracefully and maintain link integrity.
Field mapping is the key. Align blog titles, content blocks, category names, and author bios between GHL and Brilliant Directories. Maintain a consistent data schema and use flexible mapping rules to accommodate updates.
Monitor API usage in your account dashboard. Look for call counts, error rates, and latency. Set alerts to catch issues early and optimize your integration over time.
