To connect Blogs API with Discord, authorize the GHL API in your account and generate an API key with the required scopes (read access for emails and blog data). Use this key to establish the connection in the Discord integration setup. Scope: emails/builder.readonly.
Authorize the Discord app to receive posts from Blogs API. Invite the app to your server, grant channel access, and select where blog updates will appear.
Key Endpoints used in this integration include: POST /blogs/posts (create posts), PUT /blogs/posts/:postId (update posts), GET /blogs/categories (list categories), GET /blogs/authors (list authors), GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists (slug checks), and GET /blogs/categories (category data).
Trigger: a new blog post is created via POST /blogs/posts, then the connector sends a rich Discord message to your chosen channel.
Actions: post a formatted embed with the post title, excerpt, and a link; optionally include the author and category.
POST /blogs/posts
title, excerpt, slug, url, author, categories
Trigger: updates to a blog post trigger a message update in Discord via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId and related fields.
Actions: edit the existing Discord message to reflect new title, excerpt, or link.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, excerpt, slug, url
Trigger: retrieve categories, authors, and slug validation to enrich messages before posting.
Actions: fetch GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate data and populate fields in Discord messages.
GET /blogs/categories
categoryId, authorId, slug

No coding is required. The integration uses a visual workflow builder to connect Blogs API to Discord and map fields like title, excerpt, and link. You can set up triggers and actions without writing code. If you already use Zapier, you can create a simple workflow to handle new posts and post updates.
Yes. You can connect to multiple Discord servers by installing the app in each server and selecting the target channel. In the connector settings, you can switch targets or clone the workflow for use in other servers to maintain consistent posting across communities.
At minimum you need endpoints that create posts and post updates: POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, along with Discord channel actions. Optional endpoints like GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and GET /blogs/categories help validate data before posting and enrich posts with category data.
Yes. When a blog post is updated, the integration can update the corresponding Discord message to reflect the new title, excerpt, and link. Ensure unique identifiers are used to locate the correct Discord message for editing.
Categories and authors are retrieved via GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors, allowing you to categorize posts and mention authors in Discord. Use this data to enrich messages and create author-specific digests.
There are API rate limits for calls and Discord message posting has its own limits. The connector includes retry handling and batching to stay within these limits. If limits are approached, stagger posts or schedule updates across channels.
Discord messages themselves do not impact SEO. You can include canonical links and include post URLs in embeds to point users back to the original blog. Ensure the blog remains accessible for search engines and indexable content.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
