To use the Blogs API from Calendesk, grant the minimal scope (emails/builder.readonly) for reading email templates. If you need to modify templates or trigger actions, use emails/builder.write.
Authenticate Calendesk to access the GHL integration via a secure OAuth flow. You will typically provide a client ID and secret, authorize the connection, and select the GHL endpoints you’d like Calendesk to access.
Supported endpoints include: GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, GET emails/schedule, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, and more as needed.

The Blogs API lets Calendesk interact with your blog and email content through a consistent set of endpoints. It enables reading and creating blog posts, managing emails, and syncing data for campaigns. By connecting Calendesk to the Blogs API, you can automate publishing workflows without manual data entry. The integration supports both read-only and write-capable scopes based on your needs.
Calendesk can leverage endpoints like POST /blogs/posts to publish posts, GET /blogs/categories to fetch categories, and GET /blogs/authors to pull author data. For email templating, the Emails Builder endpoints like GET emails/builder and POST emails/builder are used. You can enable additional endpoints as your workflow requires.
No heavy coding is required. The setup uses OAuth for secure access and a no-code automation builder to map events from Calendesk to GHL endpoints. If you need custom logic, lightweight scripting can be added, but it’s not necessary for standard workflows.
Yes. You can read existing email templates using GET emails/builder with read-only access. If you need to modify templates, switch to write access (POST emails/builder, PUT /emails/builder/:templateId).
Test the connection by triggering a blog post, then verify that emails are created or updated accordingly. Use the staging environment to validate data flows before going live.
Data mapped includes blog post title, slug, content, author, categories, and email template references. The link between the post and email campaigns is established through endpoints that move data between Calendesk and the GHL API.
Security relies on OAuth for access control and TLS for data transmission. Follow best practices for token storage and rotation, and limit endpoint scopes to the minimum required.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
