By connecting CalendarHero, you can trigger email campaigns when new posts are published and keep content aligned with calendar events.
No code is required to set up basic triggers and actions. The UI lets you map fields and choose endpoints visually. Some familiarity with endpoints helps you map data correctly and avoid common misconfigurations.
Essential endpoints for publishing posts include POST /blogs/posts to create new posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update existing ones. You can also retrieve categories and authors with GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to populate fields in your workflows.
To test, create a sample blog post and run the workflow in test mode. Check the activity logs and confirm that the post is created or updated as expected, and that related emails or calendar actions trigger correctly.
Yes. You can keep authors and categories in sync by periodically pulling data from GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors. This ensures up-to-date metadata across blogs and email campaigns.
Slug checks help avoid duplicate URLs. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug availability before publishing. This is especially helpful when scheduling posts via CalendarHero workflows.
API references are available in the GHL integration settings under the Blogs API section. Look for paths like /blogs/posts, /blogs/categories, and /blogs/authors. If you need more help, contact support with your current workflow details.
