To get started, authorize the Blogs API inside your GHL workspace so Dashly can read posts, manage emails, and trigger campaigns. This involves establishing an OAuth or API key connection and granting the necessary scopes (emails/builder.readonly, emails/builder.write, blogs/post.write, blogs/author.readonly, etc.).
Authorize Dashly to access your GHL account so it can push campaigns, pull blog data, and attach contacts to blog‑driven automations. Ensure you grant access to the endpoints your flows will use (emails, posts, categories, authors).
Key endpoints used in this integration: GET emails/builder; POST emails/builder/data; GET emails/schedule; GET blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; POST /blogs/posts; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors. These endpoints power email campaigns, post creation, slug validation, and basic taxonomy lookups for segmentation.
Trigger when a new blog post is published in the Blogs API.
Actions: create or update an email in the builder, schedule delivery, and tag subscribers based on post author or category.
POST /blogs/posts (to publish) triggers a downstream email campaign via GET emails/builder and POST emails/builder/data.
title, content, slug, authorId, categoryId
Trigger when a blog post is updated in the Blogs API (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId).
Actions: send an update email, refresh associated dashboards, and notify subscribers of changes.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, slug
Trigger when a new author or category is created in the Blogs API.
Actions: push new authors/categories to Dashly as segmentation fields or tags and trigger welcome content.
GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories
authorId, categoryId, name
Set up in minutes with drag‑and‑drop connectors, no custom code required.
Automate posting notifications, new author alerts, and category updates across Dashly campaigns.
Keep contact lists and preferences in sync with minimal maintenance.
Key elements include triggers, actions, endpoints, authentication, data fields, webhooks, rate limits, retries, and field mappings between Blogs API, GHL, and Dashly.
An event in Blogs API that starts an automation in Dashly via GHL.
A specific API path such as GET emails/builder or POST /blogs/posts.
An operation performed in response to a trigger, such as creating an email or posting an update.
Authentication steps to authorize access to GHL, the Blogs API, and Dashly.
Automatically generate a weekly digest email when new posts are published and deliver to subscribers via Dashly campaigns.
Highlight new authors and categories with automated Dashly emails to nurture engagement.
Send a recap email when posts are updated or republished.
Authenticate GHL, the Blogs API, and Dashly in one workflow and establish trusted connections.
Map endpoints to Dashly actions: emails/builder for campaigns, blogs/posts for content, and authors/categories for segmentation.
Run test events, verify webhooks, and deploy automation to production.
Yes. You can connect Dashly to the Blogs API within GHL without writing code. The setup uses prebuilt connectors to map blog events to Dashly campaigns and emails. Start by authorizing the Blogs API in GHL, then connect Dashly to the GHL workspace and select the triggers and actions you want to automate. This no‑code approach lets you assemble flows visually and test with sample posts. After setup, you can customize the mapping between blog fields (title, slug, author, category) and Dashly contact fields to ensure personalized messaging for your subscribers.
Essential endpoints include: GET emails/builder to fetch templates, POST emails/builder/data to create email content, GET blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs, POST /blogs/posts to create posts, and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update posts. You’ll also want GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors for segmentation data. These endpoints cover email campaigns, post creation, and audience grouping for targeted automations. Combine these with webhooks or polling to trigger Dashly campaigns when new posts are published or updated, and to adjust subscriber tags based on post taxonomy.
In most setups, you’ll use API keys or OAuth tokens to authenticate. Once tokens are active, tokens usually require periodic renewal depending on the provider. In Dashly workflows, you should store the tokens securely and refresh them automatically as needed, using the GHL auth flow to minimize manual maintenance. If tokens expire, your automations will pause until reauthentication completes.
Test by creating a draft post and triggering the workflow in a staging environment. Validate that a mock email is created in the emails builder, that a test campaign is staged in Dashly, and that subscriber data is correctly mapped. Use the endpoint test tools within GHL to simulate GET and POST requests and verify that webhooks fire as expected.
Endpoint rate limits depend on the Blogs API provider and GHL plan. Plan for retries with exponential backoff and implement error handling in Dashly automations. If you anticipate heavy usage (e.g., frequent post updates), consider batching requests or staggering the automation runs to stay within quotas.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
