To access the Blogs API from DatHuis, you’ll authenticate using the GHL API credentials and the required scope emails/builder.readonly. This ensures DatHuis can read and manage email and blog data within permissions.
DatHuis uses its app credentials to securely connect to the Blogs API. Ensure you configure a trusted redirect, refresh tokens, and scope alignment to maintain seamless access.
The integration leverages a broad set of GHL endpoints to manage emails and blog content, including GET emails/builder, GET emails/builder.write, POST /emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, emails/schedule.readonly, GET emails/schedule, blogs/post.write, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, and more. These endpoints enable creation, updates, scheduling, slug checks, and metadata synchronization between DatHuis and Blogs API.
Trigger: A new blog draft is created in DatHuis.
Actions: Send a POST to blogs/posts with title, content, author, category, and slug; optionally include metadata or images.

Trigger: Post updated in DatHuis.
Actions: Use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, then trigger the blog-post-update flow via blogs/post-update.write.
Method Path: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: postId, title, content, slug, status
Trigger: New category or author added in Blogs API.

This glossary defines the core terms and data processes used in the DatHuis and Blogs API integration to help you plan, implement, and optimize the workflow.
GHL API: The RESTful interface provided by GHL that allows DatHuis to read and write emails, blog posts, categories, and authors via defined endpoints within the specified scope.
An API Endpoint is a specific URL and HTTP method used to perform an action (for example, GET /blogs/posts or POST /blogs/posts).
A webhook is a callback URL configured in DatHuis or GHL that notifies your system about events in near real-time (e.g., new post created).
Slug is the URL-friendly identifier for a blog post, typically derived from the title (for example, my-first-post).
Automatically assemble weekly newsletters from DatHuis posts and publish via Blogs API to subscribers.
Sync SEO metadata (title, slug, meta description) from DatHuis to Blogs API to improve search rankings.
Mirror the DatHuis editorial calendar in your content hub via GHL webhooks and automated status updates.
From the GHL developer portal, generate a Blogs API integration and obtain the client ID, secret, and required scopes; ready your DatHuis app credentials.
Set up your POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId flows, plus category and author sync endpoints; map fields to DatHuis data.
Run end-to-end tests, verify data mappings, set up retries and logging, and monitor performance in the DatHuis dashboard.
Short answer: No coding is required thanks to the no-code capabilities in DatHuis. You can configure triggers, actions, and field mappings directly in the UI to connect DatHuis with Blogs API. This makes it easy to automate content workflows without touching code. In addition, you can export or customize mappings for advanced scenarios if needed. For power users, there are options to fine-tune mappings, add conditional logic, and extend data flows using advanced settings and optional scripts as your integration grows.
Yes. The integration supports mapping core blog fields such as title, content, slug, and metadata. You can also map author, category, and status fields to ensure your posts maintain consistent structure across systems. If a field is missing or optional, the UI will let you skip it or provide defaults. You can always test changes in a sandbox environment before deploying to production.
Posting uses endpoints like POST /blogs/posts to create new posts, while updating uses PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to modify existing content. You can also check slug availability with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to prevent duplicates. These endpoints enable a reliable publish/update flow and help keep content in both systems synchronized with minimal effort.
Categories and authors are synchronized by pulling from GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors and mirroring them in DatHuis. This ensures posts are consistently categorized and attributed. If new categories or authors are added in Blogs API, they automatically become available in DatHuis for use in templates and posts. You can also map category and author fields to your internal DatHuis taxonomy for a seamless workflow.
Yes. You can test the connection in a staging environment using sandbox credentials or test posts. Validate data mappings, error handling, and retry logic before moving to production. Monitor logs and set up alerts for failures to quickly diagnose issues. Once validated, you can enable automated tests and scheduled runs to ensure ongoing reliability.
The recommended method is to use OAuth or API key-based authentication, with the necessary scopes such as emails/builder.readonly. Keep tokens secure, rotate them periodically, and implement least-privilege access. Both DatHuis and GHL should enforce secure storage and renewal pipelines. If you require additional security, you can enable IP allowlists and webhook signing to verify requests from trusted sources.
Use the DatHuis dashboard to monitor API usage, latency, and error rates. Set up automated alerts for failure rates, and review daily logs to identify bottlenecks. Implement retry logic and backoff strategies to handle transient issues. Regular health checks help maintain stable integrations and rapid remediation when problems arise.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
