Use the standard GHL OAuth flow or an API key with the required scope (emails/builder.readonly) to securely authorize access to Blogs API data.
Authorize the DigitalChalk side by providing its API key or OAuth credentials to the GHL connector, then grant the necessary permissions to create and update content.
Endpoints covered in this guide include: 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, blogs/post-update.write, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, blogs/check-slug.readonly, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, blogs/category.readonly, GET /blogs/categories, blogs/author.readonly, GET /blogs/authors.
Trigger: New blog post published in Blogs API
Action: Create a DigitalChalk post using POST /blogs/posts and map title, content, and slug
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug
Trigger: Blog post updated in Blogs API
Action: Update DigitalChalk post via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content
Trigger: Slug check using GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Action: Create DigitalChalk post after slug is confirmed
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug
Automates publishing and updates without writing code
Keeps blog content in sync with DigitalChalk courses and lessons
Speeds up team collaboration with reusable templates and mappings
The integration uses endpoints, triggers, actions, and data mappings to automate content flows between Blogs API and DigitalChalk.
A set of rules and tools that lets apps talk to each other and perform operations.
A specific URL in an API that performs an action or returns data.
Security protocol to grant limited access tokens to apps without sharing passwords.
A URL-friendly string used to identify a blog post in URLs and slug checks.
Set up a trigger on new blogs posts and automatically create DigitalChalk lessons.
When a blog post is updated in Blogs API, propagate changes to DigitalChalk.
Validate post slugs before publishing to DigitalChalk to avoid duplicates.
Collect Blogs API credentials and DigitalChalk API key; configure OAuth scopes.
Map Blog endpoints to DigitalChalk actions (e.g., POST /blogs/posts to create a course post).
Test with sample data, deploy the automation, and monitor for errors.
Answer: The connection uses OAuth2 tokens or API keys to securely authorize data transfer between Blogs API and DigitalChalk. No coding is required; you set up triggers and actions in the GHL App Connector. The mappings translate blog fields like title and content into DigitalChalk post fields for seamless publishing.
Answer: To publish a post, you typically need the POST /blogs/posts endpoint and a mapping for title, content, and slug. You may also use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slug before creation. Ensure the DigitalChalk post type aligns with the Blogs API post.
Answer: Yes. Use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update a DigitalChalk post when the corresponding Blogs post changes. Keep fields in sync and consider using versioning.
Answer: Authentication is via OAuth 2.0 or API keys with scoped access. The scope should cover read/write access as required by the endpoints used.
Answer: Use test mode or a sandbox environment, then run a few sample posts. Validate mappings, triggers, and error handling before enabling automation.
Answer: API usage may be rate limited by the services; check quotas in both platforms and implement retry logic.
Answer: Logs are accessible in the GHL connector dashboard. You can view requests, responses, and error messages to troubleshoot.
