Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to code to connect Collect-chat with Blogs API?

No coding is required. The integration uses API calls and a visual mapping panel to connect Collect-chat with Blogs API. You’ll authenticate, test endpoints, and enable automation without writing code. If you’re already using GHL for workflows, you can leverage built-in triggers to kick off actions in Collect-chat. You can start with read-only scopes to verify data flow and gradually grant additional permissions as needed.

For basic blogging, you’ll typically use endpoints like POST /blogs/posts to create posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to prevent duplicates. You may also pull categories and authors with GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to populate chat prompts. Optional endpoints for post updates and summaries can streamline editorial workflows.

Map fields such as title, content, excerpt, category, and author from Collect-chat to the corresponding Blogs API fields. Use prompts to display post previews, and pass slug values to ensure clean URLs. If you collect drafts in chat, send them via POST /blogs/posts and capture the postId for future updates.

Yes. You can draft posts in Collect-chat and publish them to Blogs API using POST /blogs/posts. You can also schedule posts by triggering creation at a set time or after a chat interaction. Use the post-update endpoint to modify drafts before publishing.

API credentials are found in your Blogs API developer console. Generate an API key or set up OAuth credentials, then grant the integration the required scopes (e.g., emails/builder.readonly for data access). Store credentials securely and rotate them periodically.
