To connect, obtain your API credentials in the GHL developer portal, grant the Blogs API the necessary scopes, and configure a secure connection in CustomGPT.
CustomGPT uses OAuth 2.0 and API keys to authenticate with GHL. Store credentials securely and rotate regularly.

Trigger on new or updated email templates in GHL’s Emails Builder.
Actions: create or update blog content templates, attach metadata, and schedule emails using Blogs API.
Key methods: GET emails/builder; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; This enables propagating email content to Blogs API.
Key fields include locationId, templateId, name, subject, body, and data payload.
Trigger on new or updated blog post in Blogs API.
Actions: push post title, slug, content, and metadata to CustomGPT to generate summaries or snippets.
Key methods: POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/authors.
Fields: postId, title, slug, content, excerpt, author, category, publishDate.
Trigger when a new author is added or modified in Blogs API.
Actions: sync author profiles, bios, social links, and categories to CustomGPT.
Methods: GET /blogs/authors; (additional author endpoints available in Blogs API as needed).
Fields: authorId, name, slug, bio, avatar, email, socialLinks.
Automate content updates and publishing without writing code, using triggers to sync data between Blogs API and CustomGPT automatically.
Create a unified workflow where prompts generate blog content, assets, and metadata that feed directly into your publishing pipeline.
Leverage real-time checks (like slug availability and category mapping) to streamline editorial processes.
Below are essential terms and processes you’ll encounter when linking Blogs API with CustomGPT, designed to be understood without code.
An API endpoint is a specific URL that performs a defined action, like retrieving a list of emails or publishing a blog post.
Authentication verifies identity to allow access to protected resources, typically via OAuth or API keys.
A URL-friendly version of a post title used in the web address.
A webhook is a user-defined callback URL that gets triggered by events in an app.
Use prompts in CustomGPT to craft briefs, then populate Blogs API drafts automatically.
Pull author details from Blogs API to generate personalized summaries.
Create a workflow to validate, format, and publish posts with a single click.
Register the Blogs API integration in the GHL developer portal and obtain Client ID and Secret.
Assign scope emails/builder.readonly as needed and enter endpoint mappings for blogs.
Run a test flow to ensure data sync between Blogs API and CustomGPT and deploy to production.
You can authenticate using OAuth 2.0 credentials issued in the GHL developer portal, paired with an API key for additional security. Store credentials securely and rotate them regularly. In practice, you’ll authorize the Blogs API scope within your GHL app and authorize CustomGPT to access the approved endpoints. This setup ensures safe, managed access to content and posting capabilities.
Essential endpoints typically include getting and creating email templates, listing and updating blog posts, slug checks, and author/category retrieval. For content workflows, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, and GET /blogs/authors are commonly required. You can tailor which endpoints are exposed based on your workflow needs.
No extensive coding is necessary if you use the no-code connectors in CustomGPT. You can map fields and set triggers to call the correct endpoints. Some basic configuration in the GHL app and CustomGPT is needed, but ongoing automation can be managed without writing code.
Use the built-in test or sandbox mode to simulate data transfers between Blogs API and CustomGPT. Validate that triggers fire correctly, endpoints respond as expected, and data maps align. After successful tests, gradually promote to production with monitoring enabled.
Common errors include invalid credentials, insufficient scopes, incorrect endpoint paths, or data mismatches. Review your OAuth scopes, re-authenticate if needed, verify endpoint URLs, and confirm required fields exist in the payload. Logs from CustomGPT and GHL can help pinpoint the issue.
Yes. You can configure mappings so that blog categories and authors are synced automatically. This enables consistent metadata in your posts and author profiles, improving organization and searchability across platforms.
Slug checks ensure the URL for a blog post is unique before publishing. This prevents conflicts and duplicate content. The endpoint GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists allows you to validate a slug, and you can adjust your publishing flow if the slug already exists.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
