To begin, generate an API key in Blogs API and grant Connekter access to the endpoints you plan to use. This creates a secure bridge for automations like publishing posts, updating categories, and syncing authors.
Within GHL, approve the Connekter integration to read and write to the endpoints you’ll leverage (blogs posts, categories, authors). Save the configuration to enable seamless data flow.
Endpoint highlights you’ll likely use: – GET emails/builder – POST emails/builder – POST /emails/builder/data – DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId – GET emails/schedule – GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists – POST /blogs/posts – PUT /blogs/posts/:postId – GET /blogs/categories – GET /blogs/authors – GET /blogs/posts – GET /blogs/categories – GET /blogs/authors These endpoints cover retrieving, creating, updating, and validating blog content, schedules, and metadata.
Trigger: a new blog draft exists in Blogs API
Actions: POST /blogs/posts to create the post in Blogs API, set publishDate, and optionally notify the team in GHL.
Methods: POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId for updates
Key fields: postId, title, slug, content, status, publishDate
Trigger: new or updated category/author in Blogs API
Actions: update GHL categories and author lists using GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors; map IDs
Methods: GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors
Fields: categoryId, name; authorId, name, bio
Trigger: drafted blog post
Actions: automatically assign categories and keywords based on content and metadata, update slug
Methods: POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Fields: postId, tags, categoryId, authorId
Automate publishing and updates without writing a single line of code.

A quick glossary of terms used in this guide to help you understand APIs, endpoints, and automation concepts.
An application programming interface that allows two software systems to communicate securely and efficiently.
A real-time notification mechanism that pushes data from one app to another when events occur.
A specific URL in an API that performs an action or returns data.
A URL-friendly identifier derived from a post title used in the post’s URL.
When a post is published in Blogs API, automatically share a brief summary and link in your team Slack/Teams channel to boost visibility.
Create calendar events or reminders when drafts are due, ensuring timely reviews and approvals.
Automatically tag and categorize posts based on content signals, improving searchability and routing.
In Connekter, connect the Blogs API and grant GHL access to required endpoints, then save the connection.
Select triggers (e.g., new post draft) and map actions (e.g., create post, update slug) to your GHL side.
Run tests to verify data flow, deploy the automation, and monitor for any errors in logs.
No coding is required. Connekter provides a visual editor to build automations using the Blogs API. You connect your accounts, map triggers to actions, and test flows without writing code. If you prefer, you can export configurations for documentation or handoff to your team. With a clearly defined mapping, most common blog workflows can be set up in minutes. Additionally, you can reuse templates for recurring content processes, reducing setup time for new blogs or campaigns.
For basic automation, essential endpoints include creating and updating posts (POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId), checking slug availability (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists), and listing categories/authors (GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors). These let you publish content, avoid slug collisions, and ensure proper metadata. You can extend to schedule and post-related emails if you manage newsletters via the Blogs API.
Yes. You can set publishDate or use immediate publication in your workflow. You can also create conditional triggers such as delaying posting until a review is completed or syncing only drafts tagged with a specific category. The Connekter workflow builder lets you tailor timing to your editorial calendar.
Security is handled through API keys and OAuth-style authorization between Connekter, Blogs API, and GHL. Access is scoped to the endpoints you authorize, and you can revoke access at any time from the connected apps settings. Always use the least-privilege permissions necessary for your automation pieces.
Yes. If something goes wrong, you can disable an automation or revert a change by updating the workflow or deleting the created post in Blogs API. Connekter provides logs and a history view to help identify what happened and restore previous states.
Logs for automations appear in Connekter’s dashboard and can be exported as reports. You can filter by flow, endpoint, or date range to review triggers, actions, and any errors. This makes debugging and optimization straightforward.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
