Authenticate requests to the Blogs API using your GHL API credentials. Use OAuth 2.0 client credentials or an API key, and scope the calls to emails and blogs endpoints as shown.
Authorize DealMachine to access your Blogs API by exchanging OAuth tokens or using a service account. Keep tokens secure and rotate regularly.
Includes endpoints for emails, schedules, and blog posts. Examples include GET emails/builder, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories.
Trigger: a new deal or lead update creates or updates a blog post draft in the Blogs API.
Actions: create, publish, or update blogs via POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, with slug and title mappings from DealMachine fields.
Methods/paths: POST /blogs/posts to create; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update.
Key fields: title, slug, content, postId, dealId.
Trigger: when a new author or category is added in Blogs API, propagate to DealMachine to improve author mapping and taxonomy.
Actions: pull authors via GET /blogs/authors; pull categories via GET /blogs/categories and map to DealMachine fields (authorName, categoryName).
Methods/paths: GET /blogs/authors; GET /blogs/categories.
Key fields: authorId, categoryId, name.
Trigger: a blog post is created or updated or a comment is added in Blogs API, triggering a webhook to DealMachine.
Actions: post notifications to DealMachine or create update tasks; sync post status changes to deals.
Methods/paths: POST webhooks to DealMachine or configure polling of GET endpoints to detect changes.
Key fields: eventType, postId, timestamp.
Automate content workflows without writing code.
Create consistent data and publish schedules automatically.
Scale campaigns with secure, API-driven integrations.
An overview of the elements and processes involved in connecting Blogs API to DealMachine, including endpoints, authentication, data mappings, triggers, and webhooks.
A specific URL and HTTP method that performs a defined action in an API.
A piece of content stored in the Blogs API representing a blog entry.
A URL-friendly string derived from the post title used in links.
A callback URL that the API calls when a specified event occurs.
Automatically draft blog posts when a new DealMachine lead or deal reaches a milestone, using templates from Blogs API.
Create auto-generated weekly roundups or updates to posts depending on deal progress.
Send live notifications to editors when a deal updates, triggering content reviews.
Obtain API credentials from the Blogs API and authorize the connection with DealMachine.
Select endpoints such as GET emails/builder, POST /blogs/posts, and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to enable the flows you need.
Test calls, validate mappings, and deploy to production with monitoring.
You can authenticate using OAuth 2.0 client credentials or an API key. The Blogs API supports scoped access, so request only the endpoints you need (emails and blogs) to minimize exposure. Store tokens securely and rotate them regularly. If you’re using an automation platform, connect using standard OAuth flows and refresh tokens automatically.
Essential endpoints include POST /blogs/posts to create content, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure unique slugs. You may also use GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories to enrich posts with author and category data. Map the response data to DealMachine fields to maintain consistent content records across systems.
To avoid duplicates, call GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists with your desired slug before creating a post. If the slug exists, modify it or append a unique suffix (for example, a date or dealId). Maintain a slug-generation rule in your automation to ensure consistency. Test slug checks as part of your pre-publish workflow to catch conflicts early.
No coding is required if you use automation tools like Zapier or the Blogs API connectors. You can configure triggers and actions to move data between DealMachine and Blogs API without writing code. For more complex mappings, simple scripting in your automation platform can help.
Data is transmitted over HTTPS with OAuth tokens. Use token rotation, least-privilege scopes, and IP allowlists if available. Enable logging and audit trails to monitor access and changes between systems. Regularly review permissions and rotate credentials to maintain security.
Yes. Use webhooks or scheduled polls to detect deal changes and push updates to blog content. Map deal fields to post fields and set up alerting so stakeholders stay informed about content status and deadlines. Combine with automated tasks to maintain a steady content cadence tied to deal activity.
Endpoint URLs appear in your Blogs API developer docs and in the guide sections of this page. Common ones include /blogs/posts, /blogs/authors, and /blogs/categories. Bookmark these for quick reference during integration. If your platform provides an API explorer, use it to validate endpoints and test requests before going live.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
