No coding required to connect Canva and Blogs API via GHL.
Visual workflows map Canva design data directly to blog content, posts, and metadata.
Centralized governance and secure authentication in a single platform.
This section explains core elements: endpoints, triggers, actions, methods, fields, and how to map Canva data to the Blogs API for consistent automation.
Application Programming Interface: a set of endpoints to connect Canva with the Blogs API through GHL.
A specific URL path in the Blogs API that performs a defined operation, such as creating or updating a post.
An event that starts a workflow within GHL when something happens in Canva or the Blogs API.
An operation performed in response to a trigger, such as creating a blog post or sending a notification.
Use Canva heading blocks to generate SEO-friendly blog titles and slugs, then publish via POST /blogs/posts.
Create a sequence of blog posts from a Canva campaign and schedule releases with timestamps.
Mirror published blog data into Canva for future reuse and design inspiration.
Grant the Canva app and GHL the permissions to read and write blogs, using the provided scopes.
Select the endpoints you will use (e.g., POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists) and map fields.
Run tests from Canva designs through GHL to confirm posts are created, updated, and scheduled as expected.
The Canva to Blogs API integration uses a subset of GHL endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, and GET /blogs/categories to create, update, and verify blog posts. You can also pull categories and author data via GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors for accurate blog metadata.\n\nTo get live data flowing, map Canva design fields (title, description, images) to corresponding blog post fields in GHL and test thoroughly with sample designs before going live.
Authentication is handled via a secure token exchange in GHL. You generate an API token for the Blogs API and connect Canva to GHL using the token, with scopes that cover posting, reading, and scheduling. Always use the most restrictive scope that satisfies your workflow requirements.\n\nStore tokens securely, rotate them periodically, and follow Canva and GHL best practices for credential management. If your app uses OAuth, complete the standard Canva OAuth flow and securely store access/refresh tokens.
Yes. You can schedule blog posts from Canva designs by creating a post with a future publish date using POST /blogs/posts. Include the desired publish date in the payload to plan the release.\nAdditionally, you can notify your team when a post is published by triggering an alert via the emails/schedule pathway or related notification endpoints.
No-code setup is possible through the GHL app connector and Canva integration. You configure triggers, actions, and field mappings in the UI without writing code.\nSome advanced workflows may require minimal scripting or JSON mapping, but most users can deploy entirely via the dashboard.
Categories and authors are accessible via GET /blogs/categories and GET / blogs/authors. Map these values to Canva designs to ensure consistent taxonomy across posts. If you need new categories or authors, create them in GHL or via the Blogs API and re-sync to Canva as needed.\nKeeping taxonomy aligned helps maintain SEO and organization across your content.
Slug collisions are checked with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. If a slug already exists, adjust the title or slug in Canva to generate a unique slug before publishing.\nAim for SEO-friendly, descriptive slugs that are concise and hyphenated for readability and search visibility.
For more resources, consult the official API reference, Canva integration docs, and the GHL support team. We provide tutorials, templates, and example workflows to help you build reliable Canva-to-Blogs automation.\nIf you need more help, reach out to support to get your configuration tuned for optimal performance.
