To authorize, generate and securely store your GHL credentials for Blogs API. Use the official access token and ensure the scope includes emails/builder.readonly for reading templates and triggers.
Connect Customer.io to GHL by sharing a client id and secret or using OAuth where supported. Grant the required scope to access email builders and blog data.
Endpoints include emails/builder and emails/schedule for templates and scheduling, plus blogs endpoints such as blogs/posts, blogs/categories, and blogs/authors (read/write as allowed).
Trigger: new blog post created in Blogs API (POST /blogs/posts) updates or initiates a campaign in Customer.io.
Actions: map post fields to an email template, then trigger a campaign or update a contact’s segment in Customer.io.
POST /blogs/posts
title, slug, postId, excerpt, author, published_at
Trigger: on a schedule, fetch recent posts (GET /blogs/posts) and send a digest via Customer.io.
Actions: populate digest content in email templates and queue the campaigns in Customer.io.
GET /blogs/posts
postId, title, summary, url, published_at
Trigger: verify slug existence before publishing using GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Actions: validate and create posts, ensure SEO-friendly slugs and consistent data flow to Customer.io campaigns.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug, exists
Automate blog-driven emails without coding; trigger messages from post events.
Keep blog data and email content aligned across campaigns and workflows.
Leverage no-code automations to map endpoints and run tests quickly.
Key elements include endpoints, triggers, actions, method paths, and field mappings that connect Blogs API data to Customer.io campaigns.
GHL is the API-powered platform used to connect apps and automate marketing, with endpoints such as emails/builder and blogs.
A RESTful API that manages blog posts, categories, and authors within the GHL connection.
A customer engagement platform that delivers emails and messages and can consume data from GHL via API.
A specific URL path in an API used to access a resource, such as GET /blogs/posts.
Automatically send a welcome email when a new blog post is published, using post data in the email body.
Aggregate recent posts into a weekly roundup email campaign.
Notify teams when posts with fresh SEO metadata are published.
Create API credentials in both platforms and store securely; configure scopes like emails/builder.readonly.
Map endpoints (for example POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists) to Customer.io triggers.
Define field mappings (title, slug, postId, excerpt, author) and run end‑to‑end tests.
No heavy coding is required. The integration uses no-code triggers and field mappings within the GHL and Customer.io dashboards. You can leverage prebuilt templates and test data to validate the workflow. If you do code, you can add small scripting only for custom mappings. Two steps: authorize credentials, then configure the triggers and actions.
The relevant endpoints include blogs/posts for creating and updating posts, blogs/categories for taxonomy, and blogs/authors for attribution. For emails, you may utilize emails/builder and emails/schedule to align content with campaigns.
Rate limits depend on your plan for both platforms. Generally, guard against spikes with queues and retries. If you expect bursts, configure backoff and idempotent operations.
Yes. You can pull blog data into email templates, use dynamic fields like title, excerpt, and author, and tailor content per segment. Maps can be saved as reusable assets.
Use the testing tools in both dashboards. Send test posts, review payloads, and confirm fields align. Validate webhooks by triggering sample posts and checking Customer.io receipts.
Yes. Scheduling supports periodic summary posts and newsletter digests that pull in fresh blog content and push it to campaigns at chosen times.
API credentials are managed in the GHL and Customer.io dashboards. Store keys securely, rotate them periodically, and grant only the required scopes.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
