Authentication uses OAuth tokens and API keys with the scope emails/builder.readonly to access builder endpoints and the blogs scope for posting and reading posts. Keep credentials secure and refreshed.
Store your API credentials safely for Commune. Use the provided client credentials or API keys, apply the least-privilege scopes, and rotate keys regularly.
GET emails/builder; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; GET emails/schedule; 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
Triggered when a new blog draft is created in Commune, which then creates a corresponding draft in the Blogs API.
Actions include creating posts, updating publication status, and scheduling via the Blogs API endpoints.
HTTP method examples: POST /blogs/posts to create; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update
Key fields: title, content, slug, categories, author
Triggered when a post is edited in Commune, pushing updates to the Blogs API.
Use blogs/post-update.write and blogs/posts/:postId to keep appearances in sync.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Fields: postId, title, content, slug
Triggered when new categories or authors are added in Commune to sync with Blogs API.
Sync categories and authors using GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors; create as needed.
GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors
Categories: name; Authors: name, bio

Automatically assemble and send newsletters from Commune drafts using the Blogs API.
Tag posts with relevant categories automatically based on content.
Publish to multiple blogs or channels with a single trigger.
Create/obtain API credentials and set the required scopes for both systems.
Map Commune fields to Blogs API endpoints (title, content, slug, categories, author).
Test the connection, validate endpoints, and deploy the automation.
The Blogs API integration with Commune lets you create, update, and schedule blog content directly from Commune using GHL endpoints. It keeps drafts, publishing timelines, and taxonomy in sync across platforms. No coding is required for basic setups; use the no-code connectors to map fields and triggers, then test and deploy.
You’ll need appropriate permissions to read and write content. Grant the blogs scope for writing posts and the emails/builder.readonly scope for access to builder data, depending on your use case. Follow the principle of least privilege and rotate credentials periodically; both sides should only request what they need.
To test, use a sandbox environment or a staging post. Create a test post in Commune and verify that the Blogs API creates or updates the post as expected. Check response codes, IDs returned, and log entries in your integration app; adjust mappings if needed.
Yes. Scheduling is supported by the Blogs API and can be triggered from Commune to queue posts for publication. Configure a schedule action to use POST /blogs/posts or the appropriate endpoint to set release times.
Commonly used endpoints include GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, and POST /blogs/posts for creating entries. You can also verify slug existence with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and manage categories and authors with the respective endpoints.
Coding isn’t required for basic setups thanks to no-code connectors, but some custom automation may benefit from simple scripting. If you need specialized logic or data transformations, you can add lightweight code blocks or use Zapier App Connector for advanced flows.
Usage and reliability metrics appear in the integration dashboard and in endpoint responses. Monitor rate limits, error codes, and retries to ensure smooth operation.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
