Frequently Asked Questions

What authentication is required to connect Cal-com to Blogs API?

Cal-com connects to Blogs API using a secure API key or OAuth style flow managed in GHL. Start by creating your app in the GHL developer portal and request the scope emails/builder.readonly to allow Cal-com to read email templates and schedules. Then configure Cal-com with the credentials and test connectivity to confirm endpoints are reachable.

Essential endpoints for publishing posts include POST /blogs/posts to create a post and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update an existing post. You may also use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure the slug is unique before publishing. For supporting email workflows you will use GET and POST on emails/builder and related scheduling endpoints.

Yes. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug availability before creating or updating a post. If the slug exists you can generate a new slug or append a unique identifier. This helps prevent duplicate posts and preserves SEO goals.

No code integration is designed to minimize setup time. However depending on your workflow you may need minor field mappings and template configurations. All steps can be completed through the UI in Cal-com and GHL without writing code.

Map each Cal-com field to the corresponding Blogs API field such as title to title, content to content, slug to slug, authorId to author, and categoryId to category. Use consistent data types and ensure required fields are present before triggering API calls.

We provide example payloads and synthetic data in the Cal-com docs. Use these as a baseline to validate your mappings, then progressively test with real content in a controlled test environment.
