To authenticate, create a GHL credential for the Blogs API and store the key securely to authorize requests.
Authorize Cometly to access GHL resources by granting the required scopes and selecting the Blogs API as the connected app for this page.
Available endpoints include GET emails/builder, 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
When a new blog post is created in Blogs API, trigger actions in GHL to publish, notify, or reuse content in email campaigns.
Actions: post new content to blogs, update metadata, fetch slug validity, and optionally schedule from emails builder.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, categories, authorId
When a post is edited in Cometly, push updates to GHL via the blogs posts endpoint.
Actions: update title and body, refresh slug, sync category and author.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, slug, content, categories
During post creation or update, verify slug availability and retrieve category list from GHL using GET endpoints.

GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug, categoryId, authorId
No code automation: build powerful workflows without writing code.
Consolidated workflows: manage email campaigns and blog content from a single dashboard.

This glossary covers endpoints triggers actions data fields and mappings used to connect the Blogs API with Cometly through GHL.
A specific URL path and HTTP method used to perform an operation against the GHL Blogs API.
An event that starts a workflow in your automation stack when data changes in Blogs API or Cometly.
The process of validating access to the GHL APIs.
A URL friendly string used in post links and SEO.
Set up a trigger to publish blog posts automatically via the Blogs API when content is ready in Cometly.
Sync published posts to email campaigns and landing pages through GHL endpoints.
Automatically check slug availability and pull category lists to keep posts organized.
Create credentials in GHL for the Blogs API and authorize in Cometly.
Define mappings for title content slug and categories between Cometly and GHL.
Run tests and deploy the integration for live use.
You will need a GHL API credential with the blogs scope and a Cometly account connected to the Blogs API. Ensure the API key or OAuth token is kept secure and never exposed in client code. In the setup, grant only the scopes required for blog posting and slug checks to minimize risk. The next step is to configure how data maps between Cometly and GHL so your content flows correctly.
The integration supports endpoints for creating, updating, checking slugs, listing categories and authors, and retrieving posts. You can choose the specific endpoints that match your workflow such as creating posts with POST /blogs/posts or checking a slug with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. Endpoints for categories and authors help you categorize and attribute content accurately. Not all endpoints are required for every page; pick those needed for your workflow and test thoroughly.
Test by running a dry run in a sandbox environment and verify that a test post is created in Blogs API and visible in GHL. Validate that the mapping of title content slug and category is correct and that the slug check prevents duplicates. Use sample data to simulate real publishing scenarios and adjust mappings as needed.
Yes you can schedule blog posts via the endpoints that handle scheduling or by triggering a schedule from Cometly into GHL. Define a schedule trigger in your workflow and confirm that the post status updates reflect in GHL campaigns or pages. Ensure the endpoint supports scheduling for your plan and test timing and time zones.
Slug conflicts are checked with the url slug exists endpoint; if a slug already exists, modify the title or slug to generate a unique value. Establish a slug strategy that preserves readability and SEO quality. When duplicates occur, automatically try alternate slug options or append a short unique suffix.
Authentication requires setting up credentials in GHL for the Blogs API and granting consent from Cometly to access the resources. Use API keys or OAuth tokens and limit the scope to the needed permissions. Rotate credentials regularly and store them securely in your environment.
The available endpoints and mapping options are documented in the Endpoints section of this guide and in the API reference. If you need additional mappings, you can request updates or use custom fields to extend the integration. Always keep your mappings synchronized with any API changes to avoid failures.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
