Authenticate requests with your GHL API key and the scope emails/builder.readonly. Include the key in the Authorization header as a Bearer token and restrict permissions to what you need for this integration.
ChargeDesk secures connections with tokens and credentials to GHL. Set up a secure connection in the app by supplying the API key and secret, then retain best-practice credential management.
Endpoints covered in this guide include: GET emails/builder; POST emails/builder; GET emails/schedule; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; GET blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; POST /blogs/posts; POST /blogs/post-update.write; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors; GET blogs/category.readonly; GET blogs/author.readonly.
Trigger when a new blog post is created in Blogs API.
Actions include creating posts (POST /blogs/posts), updating content (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId), and publishing as needed.

Run tests, verify triggers and actions, then deploy to production with monitoring.
The GHL API is the backbone of programmatic access to manage emails, posts, schedules, and related resources in your GHL account. When you connect Blogs API to ChargeDesk, you’re using a subset of these endpoints to handle posts and email templates, enabling automated workflows across channels. This creates faster publishing and more consistent communications without manual steps. By design, the integration focuses on core actions like creating and updating posts, checking slugs, and coordinating email templates, so you can scale content distribution with confidence.
Authentication requires a GHL API key with the appropriate scope (emails/builder.readonly). Include the key in the Authorization header as a Bearer token when calling endpoints. In ChargeDesk, you’ll securely store and rotate credentials, and grant access only to the resources needed for this integration. For ongoing security, use minimized scopes and enforce secret management practices, such as credential rotation and secure storage, to protect access to your GHL data.
Core endpoints for blog creation and updates include POST /blogs/posts to create posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update them, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug availability. For slug validation, you can also use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists prior to publishing. Other relevant endpoints cover reading and listing blog categories and authors (GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors), and managing email templates (GET/POST/DELETE on emails/builder). These give you a complete flow from content creation to distribution.
No, you do not need to use every available endpoint. Choose the endpoints that map to your desired workflow (for example, post creation, updates, slug checks, and email/template handling). Using a focused subset reduces complexity and keeps your integration maintainable. Start with the essentials (blogs/posts and blogs/posts/url-slug-exists) and add additional endpoints as your automation needs grow.
Slug availability is checked using GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. This helps you ensure the slug is unique before publishing a post. If the slug exists, you can programmatically generate an alternative slug or adjust the title accordingly. Regular slug checks can prevent conflicts and improve SEO by ensuring clean, readable URLs for published posts.
Yes. The integration is designed for no-code or low-code setups, especially when using Zapier or other automation platforms alongside ChargeDesk. You can map GHL endpoints to ChargeDesk actions without writing custom code, using pre-built connections and authentication flows. If you do choose to extend functionality, you can always add minimal code to handle complex data transformations or custom triggers.
You can find resources in the official documentation for Blogs API and GHL, as well as the ChargeDesk help center. Look for setup guides, authentication details, and endpoint references to guide your configuration. If you need, you can also contact support for a tailored walkthrough.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
