To connect Blogs API with Chanty, obtain a secure API key or OAuth token from your Blogs API dashboard and grant the token the appropriate scope for blog read and write actions. Include the token in the Authorization header when making requests. Rotate credentials regularly and store them securely.
In Chanty, configure a connected app integration to securely pass your Blogs API credentials. Use the app’s secret to guard webhooks; prefer per-request tokens if supported and ensure data is transmitted over TLS.
Key endpoints include: GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET + POST /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/post-update, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, blogs/check-slug.readonly. Additional endpoints exist for emails and scheduling as needed for broader automation.

No-code setup lets teams automate notifications and content workflows quickly without developers.
Real-time blog changes keep everyone aligned in Chanty channels with minimal manual effort.
Centralized content workflows reduce context switching and help maintain publishing cadence.
This glossary defines key terms and processes used in this integration, including GHL API, Blogs API, OAuth, webhooks, and data fields.
The GHL API is the programmable interface that lets you read and modify data in your GHL account from external apps.
A set of endpoints for managing blog content, categories, and authors within the GHL system.
The connected Zapier app that receives triggers and performs actions such as posting messages to Chanty channels.
An authorization framework for secure delegated access to APIs without sharing passwords.
Set up a trigger for new posts to automatically post a message in a selected Chanty channel with the post title, author, and a link to read more.
Create a workflow that sends draft or pending posts to a Chanty channel for review before publishing.
Deliver a weekly digest of new blog posts to a Chanty channel, with quick summaries and links.
Obtain your Blogs API credentials (API key or OAuth token) and ensure the token has read/write access to blog endpoints.
In Chanty, set up a connection to Blogs API using the provided endpoints (for posts, updates, authors, categories) and configure triggers such as on new post or updated post.
Run test requests, verify messages appear correctly in Chanty, then deploy to the automation workflow.
With the Blogs API connected to Chanty, you can automatically post updates when new blog posts go live, fetch post data to summarize in chats, and notify authors. This helps cross-functional teams stay aligned without leaving Chanty. You can also trigger updates when a post is edited or re-categorized, ensuring everyone stays informed about ongoing content changes.
No traditional coding is required if you use our no-code automation options for connecting Blogs API with Chanty. Simply configure the trigger and action steps in the integration UI. If you need custom logic beyond built-in triggers, you can add code steps via webhooks or a custom app to tailor the workflow to your exact needs.
Start with the core blog content endpoints: POST /blogs/posts to create, GET /blogs/posts to read, and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update. For metadata, fetch authors and categories with GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories. These endpoints give you a solid base to build notifications, approvals, and editorial workflows in Chanty.
Connections should use secure API tokens (or OAuth) over TLS. Store credentials in a secure vault, rotate tokens regularly, and apply the principle of least privilege to scopes. Monitor access and revoke tokens if a breach is suspected.
Yes. Use the integration logs and test modes to observe triggers as they fire. If a trigger doesn’t behave as expected, check the request payloads, endpoint permissions, and token validity. Refine filters to reduce false positives.
Rate limits apply to API calls. Plan your polls and webhooks to stay within limits, implement exponential backoff on failures, and cache non-changing data where possible to reduce redundant calls.
Official docs for the Blogs API and Chanty integration are available in your Rankr workspace under the Integrations section. You can also reach our support team or consult the developer docs for endpoint specifics and example payloads.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
