Yes the Blogs API supports creating and managing posts via Creatomate. Use the blogs posts endpoints to generate new content and publish or update existing posts. Always secure credentials and respect rate limits. The workflow can be designed to automatically generate SEO friendly slugs and metadata.
OAuth 2.0 is the recommended authentication method. Depending on your setup you may also use API keys. Rotate credentials and use scoped access to limit permissions.
Yes you can publish posts automatically from Creatomate once you map templates to blog creation. Ensure publishDate and slug are set and review SEO metadata before going live.
Slug conflicts are avoided by checking slug availability with the slug endpoint. If a slug exists, append a numeric suffix or adjust the slug strategy and retry.
For basic publishing you need endpoints to create and publish, such as POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/categories. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to prevent duplicates.
Test using a sandbox workspace or a test template in Creatomate. Review logs, test data, and verify mappings before going live.
API credentials are created in the GHL app under API credentials or OAuth settings. Store them securely and reference them in Creatomate during setup.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
