Begin by granting API access for the Blogs API within your GHL developer console, ensuring the required scope is present (emails/builder.readonly) so you can read and fetch blog data.
In Checkfront, create or select a connected app, generate credentials, and authorize the shared integration to update blog content and metadata.
POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors; GET /blogs/authors
Trigger: When a new post is created in Blogs API.
Actions: Create a corresponding blog entry in Checkfront and update metadata like author and category.
POST /blogs/posts
Key fields: title, slug, excerpt, content, author_id, category_id
Trigger: Post content or metadata update.
Actions: Update corresponding Checkfront entry with new content and updated_at.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: postId, title, content, slug, updated_at
Trigger: New or updated category/author in Blogs API.
Actions: Mirror category and author records to Checkfront, keep IDs synced.
GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors
Key fields: categoryId, name; authorId, name
Fast setup with drag-and-drop tools and no custom code required.
Keeps content consistent across your GHL and Checkfront experiences.
Scales with new endpoints and data models as your needs grow.
This section defines the core elements (endpoints, triggers, actions) and the data flow for connecting Blogs API with Checkfront.
A URL path and HTTP method you call to perform a specific action in an API.
A URL-friendly identifier for a post, category, or resource used in links and routing.
A piece of content representing an article or entry in the Blogs API.
A taxonomy to group and organize blog posts.
Automatically push featured blog summaries to Checkfront pages to boost campaigns and SEO.
Sync author, category, and tags to improve event descriptions and internal search.
Coordinate blog releases with promotions in Checkfront for synchronized messaging.
Create API credentials for the Blogs API and set scope to read/write as needed.
Map Blog fields (title, slug, content) to Checkfront fields and select endpoints.
Run tests for creation and updates, then monitor logs and errors after deployment.
The Blogs API connection enables you to create, read, and update blog posts and related data from within GHL, then propagate changes to your Checkfront content. It supports endpoints for posts, categories, and authors to keep your marketing and storefront content aligned. The connection uses the configured API credentials with the required scope to access read/write blog data.
You’ll typically need read and write permissions for posts, categories, and authors to fully sync content. The exact scopes depend on the provider and your security posture; start with the minimum viable permissions and escalate as needed. Then test in a staging environment before going live.
Yes. Use field mappings in the connector to map Blog fields to corresponding Checkfront fields. You can customize titles, slugs, excerpts, and metadata to fit your storefront and marketing pages.
To test, run a dry-run or use a sandbox environment if available. Verify that creates and updates reflect in both systems, and check for slug conflicts using the slug exists endpoint.
During a sync, existing posts that are not updated will remain unchanged unless explicitly targeted by a trigger. Updates only push when there are changes.
When errors occur, the connector will retry failed calls according to your retry policy. You can view error details in the logs and set up alerting.
Logs and metrics are accessible from the integration dashboard or the app’s logs section; monitor API call status, response times, and failed endpoints.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
