Authenticate the GHL Blogs API connection to enable secure data exchange between Cituro and your blog posts, categories, and authors.
Cituro authenticates to GHL to perform actions such as creating and updating blog posts. Ensure you grant the necessary permissions during setup.
API Endpoints you may use: GET emails/builder; GET emails/schedule; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors; (Additional endpoints listed in the reference: blogs/check-slug.readonly, POST /emails/builder/data, etc.)
Trigger: New or updated content in Cituro initiates a post creation in Blogs API.
Actions: POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and optional slug checks via GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Method path: /blogs/posts
Key fields: title, content, slug, author_id, category_id, status
Trigger: Cituro’s scheduled task triggers a publish
Actions: POST /blogs/posts with publish_at set; if updating, use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; ensure slug exists.
Method path: /blogs/posts
Key fields: title, content, publish_at, slug, author_id
Trigger: New draft with a potential duplicate slug
Actions: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slug; GET /blogs/categories to assign category; then create or update via POST/PUT.
Method path: /blogs/posts
Key fields: title, desired_slug, content, category_id, author_id
Automations reduce manual posting by pushing content from Cituro to Blogs API without writing code.
Real-time updates ensure your blog reflects latest content immediately across platforms.
Centralized analytics and reporting across Cituro and Blogs API for better decision making.
Definitions of the essential terms used for the Cituro–Blogs API integration, including API, slug, post, endpoint, and related concepts.
A set of rules and tools that let Cituro interact with the Blogs API to manage posts, categories, and authors.
A URL-friendly string derived from the post title used in the blog URL to identify posts.
A blog entry stored in Blogs API and retrievable via endpoints.
A specific path in the Blogs API you call to perform actions like create, read, update, or delete data.
Automatically create posts in Blogs API when certain Cituro events occur (lead capture, form submission, etc.).
Assign posts to authors using the authors endpoint and metadata.
Use slug checks and suggestions to keep URLs clean and unique.
Begin by granting Cituro the required permissions in GHL to access Blogs API endpoints.
Map Cituro fields to Blog posts, authors, and categories in the Blogs API.
Run tests, verify slug creation, and confirm publishing works as expected.
The Blogs API is a RESTful interface that lets Cituro manage blog posts, categories, and authors from your Blogs environment. It exposes endpoints to create, update, retrieve, and organize content. Connecting Cituro to this API enables automated workflows between your content creation processes and your blog publishing pipeline.
Yes. You will typically need a GHL API key and OAuth credentials configured for the Blogs API integration. During setup, grant Cituro the permissions required to read and write posts, categories, and authors.
Commonly used endpoints include POST /blogs/posts to create content, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slug uniqueness. Additionally, GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors help populate metadata for posts.
Yes. Cituro can schedule blog publishing by including a publish_at timestamp or by triggering a scheduled workflow that calls the Blogs API. Set up a scheduled task to call POST /blogs/posts with the desired publish date.
To prevent duplicates, call GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before creating a post to verify slug availability. If a slug already exists, generate a new slug variant or apply a consistent slug generation rule to ensure unique URLs.
If you encounter errors, verify authentication, permissions, and endpoint paths. Check API response codes and rate limits, then review integration logs. If issues persist, consult the documentation or support for clarification.
Refer to the official Blogs API documentation and the Cituro integration guide for examples and code snippets. You can also use GHL’s developer console for test requests and sandbox credentials.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
