Access to the Blogs API from GHL requires secure OAuth credentials and the scope emails/builder.readonly to read email content used for parsing. Use your GHL client ID and secret to obtain tokens and authorize requests.
CandidateZip authenticates with token-based access to expected GHL endpoints, enabling the transfer of parsed resume data into Blogs API workflows. Ensure you configure tokens and scopes correctly on both sides.
Key endpoints involved include: GET emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, POST blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, and GET /blogs/posts. These endpoints support reading email templates, creating and updating blog posts, validating slugs, and fetching categories and authors for proper content organization.
Trigger: When CandidateZip finishes parsing a resume, automatically create a new blog post in Blogs API with a title drawn from the candidate name and a summary of the resume.
Actions: Create post with fields like title, slug, content, excerpt, author, and categories derived from the resume data; optionally attach a relevant image or tag.
POST /blogs/posts
Key fields: title, slug, content, excerpt, author_id, categories
Trigger: New resume details update an existing post by postId to reflect the latest candidate information.
Actions: Use PUT to refresh content, re-map fields, adjust slug if needed, and re-tag for better SEO.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Fields: postId, title, content, slug, tags
Trigger: If an API error occurs during sync, capture details and retry with backoff, while logging the incident for review.
Actions: Log errors, alert stakeholders, retry failed requests, and preserve an audit trail for compliance.

Benefit 3: Scalable collaboration with consistent content templates and governance.
This section maps the main elements: API endpoints, post data fields (title, content, slug, excerpt, categories), authentication, and the data flow between CandidateZip and Blogs API.
Definition: A specific URL path exposed by an API that performs an action or returns data.
Definition: A URL-friendly identifier used in posts for SEO and readability.
Definition: A callback URL that the API calls when a specified event occurs.
Definition: The process of verifying identity and authorization before API access is granted.
Describe how parsed resumes can be distilled into readable blog snippets that highlight skills and experience.
Propose a weekly series that features standout candidates with consent and optimized SEO.
Provide ready-to-use templates for job boards and career pages that align with brand voice.
Collect the Blogs API credentials and configure OAuth client, then ensure the scope includes emails/builder.readonly.
Define how resume fields map to blog post fields (title, content, slug, excerpt, categories).
Run tests to verify creation and updates of posts, then deploy the workflow to your production environment.
You’ll need OAuth credentials for the Blogs API and a CandidateZip app connection, with the scope including emails/builder.readonly to access parsed email templates. Use the client ID and secret to obtain access tokens and securely store them in your GHL connection. Ensure you grant permission for the necessary endpoints used in this workflow. In many setups, you’ll configure these in the GHL developer portal and on the Apps tab for CandidateZip.
Yes. You can automate creation of new blog posts from parsed resumes. Map the resume content to post fields (title, content, slug, excerpt) and set metadata like author and categories. Test the flow to ensure SEO-friendly slugs and proper formatting before going live.
The integration commonly uses endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts to create new posts, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs, and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update posts. Depending on needs, you may also use GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to populate fields for accurate post metadata.
Create a field mapping between resume data (name, experience, skills) and blog post fields (title, content, slug, excerpt, categories). Use a sampling approach during testing to ensure consistency and readability. Consider fallback logic for missing data and SEO-friendly slug generation.
If an API call fails, review the error response, retry with backoff, and log the incident for audit. Ensure authentication tokens are valid and endpoints are accessible. Implement alerting so the team can respond quickly.
Most platforms impose rate limits and quotas on API usage. Plan for peak times, implement retries, and cache responses when appropriate. Review the Blogs API and CandidateZip plan for any specific limits related to posts, emails, or data transfers.
In GHL, you can view logs and retries in the Apps or Integrations section for CandidateZip, where you’ll find activity logs, error details, and retry history. Use these logs to diagnose issues and adjust mappings or endpoints as needed.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
