To use the Blogs API via GHL, configure secure credentials for the Blogs API with appropriate read/write scopes. Store these credentials in the GHL connection and reference them in your workflows. This ensures all automated actions have the permissions they need to read and write content.
Connect DigitalOcean by granting access to the app and generating an API token or OAuth credential. The GHL connector will securely store this token to enable automated publishing, categorization, and author sync without exposing credentials in your workflows.
Core endpoints for the integration include: GET emails/builder; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; GET emails/schedule; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors; BLOGS POST-WRITE; BLOGS CHECK-SLUG; GET /blogs/post/update; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors

The Blogs API is a set of endpoints that lets you create, update, and manage blog content from external systems. Connecting it to DigitalOcean via the GHL App Connector enables automated publishing and data synchronization without manual copy/paste. Start by authenticating both apps, then map the blog-related actions to your DigitalOcean workflows so posts, authors, and categories stay in sync. This integration is designed to be approachable for non-developers while still flexible enough for advanced automation.
No heavy coding is required. The GHL App Connector provides a no-code interface to configure triggers, actions, and data mappings between Blogs API and DigitalOcean. You will define what to read, how to create or update posts, and how to handle authors and categories through guided prompts. If you need more complex logic, you can extend workflows with conditional steps and custom fields.
For basic publishing, essential endpoints include creating posts (POST /blogs/posts), updating posts (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId), and slug validation (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists). Additionally, you may retrieve categories (GET /blogs/categories) and authors (GET /blogs/authors) to map content correctly. This set covers the core publishing flow with optional enhancements available as you grow.
Yes. You can automatically synchronize categories and authors by setting triggers on new or updated entries in Blogs API and mapping them to DigitalOcean. The connector can create or update local mappings and keep both systems aligned. Regularly review mappings to ensure new tags or author names appear consistently across platforms.
Testing is simple: use the built-in test tools in the GHL connector to simulate creating a post, updating a slug, or fetching categories. Validate responses, check for errors, and review logs. Once tests pass, enable the workflow in a controlled environment before rolling it out broadly.
If credentials expire or are revoked, the connector will lose access and automation may fail. Re-authenticate in the GHL app and refresh tokens or API keys as needed. It’s a best practice to set up alerts so you’re notified of any access issues promptly.
API documentation for the Blogs API and the GHL App Connector is typically available in the vendor’s developer portal or the app marketplace. Look for sections on authentication, endpoints, rate limits, and sample requests. If you’re using Rankr’s Blogs API, start with the Getting Started guide and the endpoint reference to accelerate setup.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
