Use your GHL Blogs API credentials to securely authorize requests. Store credentials safely and rotate keys regularly to protect data.
Verify and connect Cliengo to the Blogs API using your chosen authentication method. Start with API keys, then move to token-based access as needed.
– GET /blogs/categories – GET /blogs/authors – GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists – POST /blogs/posts – PUT /blogs/posts/:postId – POST /blogs/post-update.write – GET /blogs/categories – blogs/check-slug.readonly – blogs/category.readonly – blogs/author.readonly – GET /blogs/authors
Trigger: A user asks about a topic that can become a blog post.
Actions: Create a blog post draft via POST /blogs/posts and respond with the post link.
POST /blogs/posts
title, slug, content, author_id, category_id
Trigger: Conversation indicates a category interest.
Actions: Update post category and attach lead data.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, category_id
Trigger: Ready to publish a post from a chat.
Actions: Check slug via GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, then publish with POST /blogs/posts.
POST /blogs/posts
title, slug, content, published
Automate content creation directly from conversations, reducing manual data entry.
Keep blog content up-to-date by syncing edits from Cliengo to your blog posts.
Improve response quality with dynamic content references and real-time data.
This section defines core terms and how the integration uses endpoints and processes data between Cliengo and the Blogs API.
A set of defined endpoints and methods enabling apps to request data or trigger actions.
A specific URL path and HTTP method used to interact with an API.
Methods to verify identity and grant access, such as API keys or tokens.
A URL-friendly version of a post title used in the blog URL.
Capture user questions and draft topics that can be turned into blog posts in Blogs API.
Update author lists automatically as new contributors are identified in conversations.
Route conversations to the appropriate blog category and publish when ready.
Obtain your GHL API key and connect Cliengo with a secure test environment to verify successful calls to Blogs API endpoints.
Define how Cliengo fields map to blog post fields such as title, content, author, and category.
Turn on real-time sync between conversations and blog content and set up alerts for failures.
You can authenticate using your GHL API credentials via API keys or token-based methods. Keep credentials in a secure vault and rotate them regularly to minimize risk. Ensure the request headers include authorization tokens for each call. Regularly review permissions to ensure the app only has access to needed endpoints such as blogs posts, categories, and authors.
For basic posting, the essential endpoints are POST /blogs/posts to create posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update them. You may also use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs before publishing and GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to assign metadata. Always test in a sandbox first. Keep a mapping of lead data to blog fields to ensure consistency.
Yes. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slug uniqueness before publishing. If the slug exists, you can modify it or generate a new slug and retry. You can also enforce slug checks in your workflow to prevent duplicates. Consider implementing a fallback to auto-generate slugs from titles.
Yes. The APIs provide endpoints to fetch authors and categories via GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories. You can pull this metadata into Cliengo and present options to users or automatically tag new posts with the appropriate author and category. Keep the metadata synced with the API to avoid stale information.
Test the integration in a staging environment with sample conversations and mock blog data. Validate authentication, endpoint responses, and error handling. Use detailed logs and alerts to monitor failed calls and retries. Gradually enable live data once you confirm correct behavior.
Yes. A no-code workflow can be built using your integration platform to trigger blog post creation from chats, update posts, and fetch metadata. Start with a template that maps common fields (title, content, author, category) and customize triggers. No-code setups are ideal for rapid experimentation and iterative tuning.
Consult the official Blogs API documentation for endpoint specifics, parameter details, and example calls. If you’re using a hosted integration platform, search their docs for the Cliengo + Blogs API connectors. You can also reach support for endpoint recommendations and best practices. Additionally, review API rate limits and auth scopes to avoid service interruptions.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
