Begin by generating an API credential in your GHL developer console and securely storing it. Use OAuth or API keys as supported to authorize requests to the Blogs API endpoints.
Ensure your CleverReach account has API access enabled, then grant permission to GHL to manage emails and blog-related resources. Use the API key or OAuth token provided by CleverReach.
Core endpoints: GET emails/builder; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; GET emails/schedule; blogs/post.write; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors; GET /blogs/posts; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Trigger: new or updated blog post in Blogs API triggers a draft email in CleverReach via emails/builder.
Actions: generate or update email templates, populate content fields, and schedule sends.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, slug, excerpt, content, publishDate
Trigger: new blog post published triggers newsletter creation
Actions: fill newsletter template, pull in post content, schedule send
POST /blogs/posts
postId, title, summary, slug, content, authorId, category
Trigger: campaign action completes, update post status
Actions: update post status via API
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, status, lastUpdated

This glossary explains core terms like endpoints, triggers, actions, and fields used in the integration.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to perform a defined action in an API.
An event that starts an automation, such as a new blog post being published.
A task executed in response to a trigger, such as creating an email draft or updating a post.
A URL-friendly identifier for a blog post used in links and routing.
Use the Blogs API to pull post content and automatically generate a matching newsletter in CleverReach using the emails/builder endpoints.
Schedule weekly digests by pulling top posts and constructing emails that summarize new content.
Trigger updates to existing campaigns when posts change status or when comments are added.
Create an API key or OAuth token in CleverReach and authorize the connection from GHL to allow access to blog and email endpoints.
In GHL, map blog post fields to email template fields and select the endpoints you will use (e.g., GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, GET emails/builder).
Run end-to-end tests, verify data flow, and deploy automation with logging and alerts.
Yes. The integration uses secure authentication methods (OAuth or API keys) and encrypted connections. You control access with scoped permissions, ensuring only the necessary endpoints are available. Regular key rotation and monitoring help maintain privacy and security. In addition, CleverReach and GHL provide audit trails to track changes and access.
To start, enable access to the core endpoints such as GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, and GET /blogs/posts. Configure required webhooks or polling so new posts trigger downstream actions. As you expand, you can add additional endpoints like POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId as needed.
No coding is required for standard use. The integration is designed for no-code setups via the Zapier App Connector and visual builders. If you require advanced custom logic, you can extend with minimal scripting, but most workflows can be built through triggers, actions, and field mappings.
Yes. You can sync existing posts by running a one-time import that maps post data to CleverReach templates and campaigns. For drafts, ensure you have a workflow that enrolls drafts into email templates or campaigns once approved. Ongoing updates can be scheduled or triggered automatically.
Update frequency depends on how you configure triggers and polling. You can opt for near-real-time updates with webhooks or schedule digest-based updates. Most setups deliver fresh email content in alignment with your publishing cadence.
Logs are available in both platforms. GHL provides an activity log for API interactions, while CleverReach offers campaign and email delivery logs. Use these to verify actions, diagnose failures, and adjust mapping or middleware configurations.
Yes. You can customize templates and emails via API by populating content fields and leveraging email builder endpoints. If you need sophisticated dynamic content, additional mapping and templating in CleverReach can be used in tandem with GHL.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
