DocsAutomator provides a no code workflow that connects your documents to the Blogs API so you can automate post creation and publishing. By authenticating with GHL and selecting the Blogs API scopes, you can trigger actions from docs to produce posts without writing code. This keeps your content flow fast and consistent. The FAQ covers setup, permissions and common pitfalls to help you succeed.
No coding is required for standard automations. You can configure triggers, actions and data fields using a visual interface. Some advanced tasks may need custom fields or mappings, but the core publishing workflow is designed for no code use.
Essential endpoints include creating posts (POST /blogs/posts), updating posts (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId) and slug checks (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists). These allow you to draft, publish and maintain posts programmatically via DocsAutomator.
Categories are retrieved with GET /blogs/categories and authors with GET /blogs/authors. You can assign categoryId and authorId when creating or updating posts to keep content organized and correctly attributed.
Yes. Use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update title, content, slug or metadata after publishing. You can automate updates when source docs change to keep posts in sync.
Slug checks help prevent duplicates. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before publishing to ensure the slug is unique, or implement automatic slug generation during post creation.
Additional resources, templates and best practices are available in the DocsAutomator integration guide and the Blogs API documentation within your account. You can also contact support for personalized setup help.
