To authorize the GHL Blogs API in ClickMagick you will generate an access token with the required scope. Store credentials securely in your ClickMagick account and use the token when calling endpoints
In ClickMagick create a new GHL connection named for the Blogs API. Paste the access token and the base URL for GHL endpoints and run a test to verify the connection
– GET emails/builder and related email endpoints for templates and data – POST emails/builder and DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId for template management – GET emails/schedule and emails/schedule.readonly for scheduling emails – GET blogs/post.write and POST /blogs/posts for creating blog posts – PUT /blogs/posts/:postId for updating posts – GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slug uniqueness – GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/categories to list categories – GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/authors to list authors
Trigger when a new entry is added in ClickMagick campaigns you want to publish as a blog post
Create a new blog post using POST /blogs/posts with title content and metadata plus optional categories
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, authorId, categoryIds, publishDate
Trigger when a post is published or updated in the Blogs API
Fetch post details and sync status back to ClickMagick using GET /blogs/posts/:postId and related endpoints
GET /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, slug, title, status
Trigger when new categories or authors are added in GHL
Pull categories and authors and attach them to posts in ClickMagick for consistent metadata
GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors
categoryId, name; authorId, name
Automate content workflows without writing code
Keep blog data in sync with marketing campaigns and emails
Scale content operations across teams with blueprint like automations
A quick glossary of terms used in this guide to help you implement the integration smoothly
An API is a set of rules that allow apps to communicate. This guide uses RESTful endpoints to manage blogs and emails with GHL
The URL friendly version of a post title used to form readable web addresses
The process of proving identity to access the API often via tokens or keys
Common methods include GET POST PUT and DELETE used to manage resources
Trigger a new blog post when a ClickMagick campaign completes and publish via POST /blogs/posts
Pull author bios and category lists and attach to posts as metadata using GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories
Check for slug uniqueness with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before creating posts
In GHL generate an API token with the required scopes and in ClickMagick create a new connection using that token
Select the blogs endpoints you will use and align scopes such as blogs.post.write blogs/post-update.write and blogs/check-slug.readonly
Run a test call to create or fetch a post and verify the response and logs for any adjustments
To authenticate connect ClickMagick to the GHL Blogs API you typically use OAuth or a token based flow. Generate an access token with the required scopes and securely add it to your ClickMagick GHL connection to authorize calls to endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. Keep tokens secure and rotate them regularly
For basic blog management you will use endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts to create posts GET /blogs/posts/:postId to read posts PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify unique slugs. Category and author endpoints GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors help keep metadata in sync
Slug collisions are common when publishing automatically. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before creating a post to confirm the slug is available. If it exists you can modify the title or slug and retry
Yes. The integration can drive email campaigns by using the email builder endpoints such as GET and POST /emails/builder to fetch templates create new templates or data assets. This helps align email communications with new blog posts
Test the integration in a staging environment or with sandbox tokens. Use sample posts and templates to verify behavior and then switch to live tokens after confirming all flows work as expected
If endpoints return errors check the token scope and permissions verify the endpoint URL and method and review the response body for error codes. Implement retry logic and logging to capture transient issues
API rate limits vary by endpoint. Plan for retries and backoff and avoid making simultaneous calls to create many posts. Check the GHL developer docs for current quotas and best practices
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
