To authorize access to the Blogs API, generate API credentials for your GHL account and grant the requested scope (emails/builder.readonly) for read-only access to email templates and scheduling data.
In this integration, Deputy will authenticate with the Blogs API using the generated credentials to read and publish content via endpoints such as /blogs/posts and /blogs/categories.
Endpoint coverage includes emails and blogs actions such as GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, GET emails/schedule, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, and GET /blogs/posts.
Trigger: When a new post is created in Deputy, a post is created in Blogs API via POST /blogs/posts.
Actions: Create a blog post with title, content, slug, author, and category; optionally publish or save as draft and attach metadata.
Method path: POST /blogs/posts
Key fields: title, content, slug, author_id, category_id, published_at
Trigger: Updated email templates or scheduling in Deputy propagate to the Blogs API email builder via GET/POST emails/builder.
Actions: Create and update email templates; schedule emails; sync data between Deputy emails and Blogs API templates.
Method path: GET /emails/builder and POST /emails/builder
Key fields: template_id, location_id, subject, body
Trigger: New or updated categories or authors in Blogs API trigger updates in Deputy to maintain consistency.
Actions: Create or update categories and authors; map IDs; ensure proper slug and taxonomy alignment.
Method path: GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors
Key fields: category_id, author_id, name, slug
Automate content workflows without writing code.
Reduce manual data entry and speed up publishing.
Maintain consistent branding across posts, emails, and templates.
A quick glossary of terms, data flows, and processes used to connect the Deputy app with the Blogs API.
Application Programming Interface: a set of rules that allow apps to talk to each other and perform actions like creating posts or fetching authors.
Specific paths in the API (e.g., /blogs/posts, /blogs/authors) that map to actions.
A URL-friendly string derived from a post title used in blog URLs.
Permissions granted to the integration, determining read or write capabilities.
When a Deputy event or update is created, automatically draft and publish a corresponding blog post in the Blogs API.
Use blog analytics to trigger periodic newsletters or digest emails via the Deputy Email Builder.
Keep author bios and categories in sync so posts automatically mention the right author and taxonomy.
Create or retrieve your Blogs API credentials and set the scope to include emails/builder.readonly for read access.
Choose the endpoints you need such as /blogs/posts, /blogs/categories, /blogs/authors and map Deputy fields to blog fields.
Run tests with sample data, verify slug and author mappings, then deploy and monitor.
The Blogs API is a RESTful interface that lets you manage blog content such as posts, authors, and categories from another system like Deputy. It enables actions such as creating posts, updating content, and fetching author details. By connecting Deputy to the Blogs API, you can automate publication workflows and keep content in sync across your tools. The integration relies on credentials and scoped permissions to access endpoints like /blogs/posts and /blogs/authors.
You do not necessarily need to write code to set up this integration if your platform supports no code workflows or has a ready-made connector. The key steps involve obtaining API credentials, choosing the required endpoints, and mapping fields between Deputy and the Blogs API. If you prefer, you can use middleware tools to handle the data routing without writing code.
For basic post publishing, you will typically use endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts to create posts, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs, and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update posts. You may also need GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories to map authors and categories. These endpoints form the core workflow for publishing content from Deputy.
The required scope determines what the integration can read or modify. For many content workflows you will need read access to emails/builder and blogs data, with write access restricted to publish or update actions as appropriate. Always follow the principle of least privilege to minimize risk.
Yes. You can sync authors and categories between the Blogs API and Deputy to ensure consistent attribution and taxonomy. This keeps post metadata aligned, simplifies search and navigation, and preserves brand structure across platforms.
API endpoints for reference are typically listed in the Blogs API documentation and can be accessed from your developer console. Familiarize yourself with endpoints for posts, authors, categories, and emails to design reliable automation flows.
