Authorize access to the Blogs API within GHL by generating an access token with the correct scope. Ensure the Scope includes emails/builder.readonly so you can read blog data and use it in Chekkit automations.
Authorize Chekkit to perform actions against the Blogs API via the GHL connector. Grant the minimal permissions required for your workflows and run a test to confirm the connection.
Relevant endpoints include: POST /blogs/posts to create a post; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update a post; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slug availability; GET /blogs/categories to list categories; GET /blogs/authors to list authors. Use GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists for validation and data integrity.
Trigger: new blog post created in Blogs API starts a Chekkit workflow.
Actions: POST /blogs/posts to publish, including title, content, authorId, categoryId, and slug.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, authorId, categoryId, slug
Trigger: post updates in Chekkit trigger an update in Blogs API.
Actions: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to apply edits; optionally revalidate slug via GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, categoryId, slug
Trigger: ensure slug uniqueness and current category alignment.
Actions: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slug; GET /blogs/categories to refresh category data.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories
slug, categoryId
Fast setup with drag-and-drop automations that connect your content creation to Chekkit campaigns.
No custom coding is required—leverage the available endpoints to build powerful workflows quickly.
Real-time data syncing and scalable automation align with your content strategy across Chekkit and Blogs API.
This glossary covers API, endpoints, triggers, actions, and data fields used to connect Blogs API to Chekkit via the GHL API.
A software interface that lets Chekkit communicate with the Blogs API to read and write data.
An API request that creates a new blog post in Blogs.
An API request that retrieves data from Blogs.
A URL-friendly string used to identify a blog post in browsing and sharing.
Configure a trigger for new Blogs posts to automatically generate and distribute a Chekkit newsletter to subscribers.
When a post is updated, push changes to Chekkit campaigns and keep content fresh.
Automatically segment campaigns by category and trigger category-based journeys.
Grant access to the Blogs API endpoints listed above within GHL and confirm the scope is correct.
Select core endpoints such as GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories, and POST /blogs/posts, then set up triggers in Zapier.
Run end-to-end tests, deploy the workflow, and monitor executions to ensure reliable data flow.
No deep coding is required. The integration uses Zapier and the GHL connector to link Blogs API with Chekkit through pre-built actions. A basic understanding of field mapping helps ensure data lands in the right places. If you’re comfortable editing mappings, you’ll unlock more advanced automations; otherwise, the default templates cover most common tasks.
Permissions are determined by the API scope. For read access to blog data and to drive Chekkit automations, use scope including emails/builder.readonly. If you need to publish or update posts, additional write scopes will be needed. Always grant the minimal required permissions and test the connection after changes.
Essential endpoints include POST /blogs/posts to create content, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs, GET /blogs/categories to pull categories, and GET /blogs/authors to pull author data. Depending on your workflow, you may also use GET /blogs/categories to refresh category data and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists for slug checks.
To test, run a small end-to-end scenario in Zapier: authenticate, trigger a post creation, and confirm the post appears in Blogs API. Check the logs for any field-mapping issues and adjust mappings as needed. Repeat with updates and slug checks to validate all paths.
Yes. The integration supports scheduling-like automation by triggering publish actions from Chekkit campaigns at set times. Use the Blogs API endpoints to create or publish posts, and coordinate timing via Zapier schedules or Chekkit campaign logic.
Slug validation is supported. You can validate and ensure uniqueness using GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before creating or updating posts, helping avoid duplicates and broken links. This keeps your content clean and SEO-friendly.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
