Obtain an API key with the scope emails/builder.readonly, grant access to the Blogs API, and configure your CloudCart connection.
Authorize CloudCart to access the Blogs API using OAuth 2.0 or API keys, with permissions for blog creation, updates, and category management.
Core endpoints include: GET emails/builder, emails/builder.write, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, emails/schedule.readonly, GET emails/schedule, blogs/post.write, POST /blogs/posts, blogs/post-update.write, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, blogs/check-slug.readonly, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, blogs/category.readonly, GET /blogs/categories, blogs/author.readonly, GET /blogs/authors
Trigger: a new product launch or update in CloudCart creates or updates a blog post via POST /blogs/posts.
Actions: map product fields to blog post fields, set slug, assign author and category.
Methods/paths: POST /blogs/posts to create posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update.
Key fields: title, content, slug, postId, authorId, categoryId.
Trigger: email events in CloudCart notify new or updated blog posts via emails/builder endpoints.
Actions: generate or update blog posts from email content; attach summaries.
Methods: POST /emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data to craft newsletters that reflect blog content.
Key fields: templateId, locationId, content, subject.
Trigger: bulk sync triggers via blogs/post-update.write or blogs/posts.
Actions: batch-create posts using POST /blogs/posts and batch-update using PUT.
Methods: POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: posts array with title, content, slug, categoryId.
Automate content creation with zero code using visual workflows.
Keep product launches and posts in sync in real time.
Consolidate content planning and deployment from one interface.
This glossary covers essential terms for connecting CloudCart to the Blogs API through the GHL integration.
API: a programmable interface that lets CloudCart and Blogs API talk to each other.
Endpoint: a specific URL in an API you call to perform an action.
OAuth 2.0 is the authorization framework used to grant access to APIs securely.
Slug: the URL-friendly title used in blog post URLs.
When a new product launches in CloudCart, automatically create a corresponding blog post in your blog.
Send alerts in CloudCart when readers leave comments on posts, via email or dashboard.
Generate weekly summaries from CloudCart metrics and publish as a blog post.
Create an API key with the correct scope (emails/builder.readonly) and connect CloudCart.
Define how CloudCart fields map to blog post fields and select endpoints.
Run test posts, verify data flows, set up error alerts.
No extensive coding is required thanks to no-code automation tools and pre-mapped endpoints. You can configure CloudCart to trigger blog posts automatically when a new product is added. If you prefer, you can also use simple HTTP calls to the Blogs API endpoints to customize behavior. For most setups, the visual workflow builder handles the heavy lifting. The key is to ensure the scope emails/builder.readonly is granted and that the POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId endpoints are accessible.
Required permissions involve access to blog creation and updates. The Blogs API scope emails/builder.readonly allows reading email builder data, while write permissions (blogs/post.write, blogs/author.readonly, etc.) enable creating and updating blog posts. Always limit access to only the necessary endpoints for security. After setup, test with a staging domain before going live.
Yes. You can update existing blog posts by calling PUT /blogs/posts/:postId with the updated title, content, or slug. Ensure that the postId you reference matches the CloudCart mapped post and that the slug remains unique. You can also trigger updates from CloudCart workflows whenever product details change to reflect the latest content.
Start in a sandbox environment or use a test project. Use the test data to call POST /blogs/posts to create a post and then verify that the post shows up in your blog. Check the API response and your logs within the integration dashboard. Enable error alerts to catch issues early and adjust field mappings if necessary.
For basic syncing, the essential endpoints are POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, and GET /blogs/categories. These allow you to create posts, update them, ensure slug uniqueness, and assign categories. The emails builder endpoints (GET/POST to /emails/builder) are optional unless you plan to send blog-related emails from CloudCart.
Yes. With a single integration, you can trigger blog updates from CloudCart product events and manage email notifications via the same workflow. This keeps product content and blog content aligned, reducing manual steps. You can route blog content into CloudCart communications and vice versa using mapped fields.
Error logs and execution details are available in the integration dashboard and API response payloads. You can enable verbose logging, review failed endpoint calls (e.g., PUT /blogs/posts/:postId), and set alert rules for repeated failures. Regularly monitoring the logs helps you catch mapping issues early.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
