Authenticate requests to the Blogs API using the credentials provided by GHL. Use the scope emails/builder.readonly to access blog assets and metadata for publishing and retrieval.
In DashClicks connect the Blogs API using your app credentials. The connection leverages OAuth 2.0 or API keys for secure access and refresh tokens.
Core endpoints used for blogging include posting and updating posts, slug checks, and category and author lookups. Examples include POST /blogs/posts to publish a post, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slugs, GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to manage taxonomy and authors, as well as related endpoints for retrieving and organizing content. Additionally, you may encounter emails related endpoints like GET emails/builder and GET emails/schedule when integrating with editorial processes.

The DashClicks Blogs API integration enables you to publish new posts and edit existing ones directly from DashClicks. It also lets you pull in metadata like categories and authors for accurate content organization. You can automate repetitive publishing tasks without leaving the DashClicks interface. This simplifies editorial workflows and keeps your blog consistent with your content calendar. If you are using GHLs endpoints for emails and scheduling, these can be coordinated with your blog publishing to maintain email campaigns and blog release timelines in sync.
Basic connectivity does not require extensive coding. DashClicks provides UI driven mappings and presets to connect endpoints like POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/categories. For advanced automations you may add simple scripts or use built in workflow builders. Most teams can set up a working integration in a few hours.
Authentication is typically handled via OAuth 2.0 or API keys. In DashClicks you will enter your client credentials and authorize DashClicks to access the Blogs API. Keep tokens secure and rotate them as recommended. The GHL scope you requested is emails/builder.readonly, which governs access to blog related assets in this context.
Publishing posts is best supported by POST /blogs/posts for creating content and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId for updates. Slug checks via GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists help prevent duplicates. Use GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to populate required fields like categoryId and authorId.
Yes. You can manage authors and categories directly from DashClicks by calling GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories to fetch current data, and POST or PUT endpoints to create or update records. This keeps your editorial taxonomy aligned across platforms.
Slug availability is checked with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. If the slug is taken, you can modify the title or slug until you get a unique URL. This helps avoid conflicts and preserves clean URLs for SEO.
No code solutions allow you to build automated workflows using DashClicks built in tools and presets. You can connect, map fields, and trigger actions without writing code. This enables rapid setup and easier maintenance for ongoing content operations.
