Authenticate using your GHL API credentials with the Blogs API scope. Ensure your access token or API key has the emails and blogs permissions required for calendar-driven publishing.
CalendarApp connects to GHL using OAuth2 or API keys. Store credentials securely and refresh tokens as needed to keep the connection alive.
Key endpoints used include: GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, GET emails/schedule, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, and GET /blogs/posts.
Trigger a draft blog post when a calendar event is created or updated in CalendarApp.
Actions: POST /blogs/posts to create; POST /blogs/posts data; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update; schedule publish dates.
Relevant methods: POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; use fields such as title, content, date, and slug.
Key fields: title, content, excerpt, category, author, slug, publishDate
When a new category or author is added in Blogs API, CalendarApp updates its local references.
Actions: GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to keep drop-downs updated.
Methods: GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors
Fields: categoryName, authorName, slug
When a blog post status changes in Blogs API, CalendarApp updates its calendar and status indicators.
Actions: POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Paths used: POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Fields: postId, title, status, publishDate, slug
Automate content creation and scheduling without writing code.
Keep your editorial calendar in sync with live blog data.
Scale publishing with repeatable, testable workflows.
This glossary explains core elements and processes used to connect CalendarApp with Blogs API in GHL.
Application Programming Interface that allows CalendarApp to interact with Blogs API securely.
A specific URL and method that performs a single function in an API.
A blog article stored in the Blogs API, created from CalendarApp data.
A URL-friendly identifier derived from the post title.
Automatically generate a weekly digest from events and posts and publish to your blog.
Create a post when a major event is added in CalendarApp.
Automatically generate slugs and meta descriptions using blog data and event details.
Obtain API credentials and grant access for both apps to share blog data.
Choose endpoints for posts, categories, and authors to enable content creation and curation.
Create triggers and actions in CalendarApp to call the Blogs API and surface status updates.
You can usually connect CalendarApp with Blogs API using no-code automation inside both apps, leveraging the GHL authenticated endpoints. Start by granting the Blogs API scope in your GHL account and connect the two apps with CalendarApp’s integration settings. If your use case requires custom data shaping or advanced logic, a developer can help build a small middleware or use webhooks to map fields and handle errors.
For posting and scheduling, you typically need POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure unique slugs. Additionally, GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors help populate drop-downs and enable categorization and author assignment for each post.
Yes. CalendarApp can periodically pull categories and authors via GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to keep references current. Automated sync reduces manual data entry and ensures consistency across your blog content and calendar planning.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan and the specific endpoints used. Space requests evenly and implement retries with exponential backoff. If you anticipate higher traffic, plan batch updates and caching to minimize calls while keeping data fresh.
Token expiry is managed by standard OAuth2 or API key lifecycles. Keep credentials securely stored and refresh tokens as needed. In a production setup, build automatic refresh logic and alerting when a token is nearing expiry to avoid disruption.
Yes. You can update existing posts using PUT /blogs/posts/:postId after retrieving the postId from the initial create call. You can modify title, content, categories, or publish date, then push changes back to the Blogs API.
Test with sandbox credentials or a staging environment. Use sample posts and events to verify creation, updates, slug validation, and scheduling. Validate data mappings, error handling, and rate limits before going live, and monitor logs for any failed calls.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
