Authentication uses OAuth2 with your Blogs API credentials. Ensure the requested scopes (for example, emails/builder.readonly) are granted and kept secure.
DocSend requires a valid API key or OAuth token to authorize requests from GHL. Store credentials securely and rotate them regularly.
Example endpoints include: GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, GET emails/schedule, GET blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors.
Trigger: when a DocSend action occurs such as a contract approval or document signing to create or update a blog post
Actions: create or update a blog post, attach related materials, and notify teams
Methods/Paths: POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update
Key fields: title, content, slug, author, status
Trigger: new DocSend draft prompts email generation in the Emails Builder
Actions: draft emails, schedule sends, and track opens; update templates as needed
Methods/Paths: GET /emails/builder and POST /emails/builder
Key fields: locationId, templateId, recipient, subject
Trigger: publish or update a blog post in Blogs API, then reflect in DocSend
Actions: push updated content to DocSend as an attachment or reference; update statuses to keep teams aligned
Methods/Paths: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: postId, title, slug, excerpt
Benefit: rapid automation with no code required
Benefit: consistent branding across emails and blog posts
Benefit: centralized analytics and cross-app insights
This section outlines endpoints, authentication, data mapping, triggers, and data flow between Blogs API and DocSend.
Application Programming Interface – a set of endpoints that lets apps talk to each other and exchange data.
Webhook – a real-time notification sent from one app to another when a specified event occurs.
OAuth – an open standard for access authorization used to grant token-based permissions.
Slug – a URL-friendly version of a post title used in web addresses.
Automatically publish a new blog post when a DocSend contract reaches signature, reducing manual steps and speeding time-to-publish.
Create a nurture email sequence in the Emails Builder whenever a new post goes live, boosting engagement.
Push DocSend engagement metrics into Blogs API dashboards for a unified view of performance.
Generate client credentials in Blogs API and securely store them for DocSend.
Set the scopes to include emails/builder.readonly and blogs/post.write to enable required actions.
Map the endpoints you will use (GET emails/builder, POST /blogs/posts, etc.) and run test requests to confirm connectivity.
The Blogs API is the GHL API used to manage blog content and email interactions in your DocSend workflow. By connecting via OAuth, you authorize DocSend to access endpoints like emails/builder.readonly and blogs/post.write. Once connected, you can automate publishing, editing, and email generation without code. In addition, this integration supports no-code automation across blog and email tasks to keep all content aligned.
For a basic workflow, you typically need endpoints to read templates, create posts, and check slug existence. Example endpoints include GET emails/builder, POST /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update. This set covers template access, post creation, and safe slug validation.
Authentication uses OAuth 2.0; obtain client credentials, request tokens with appropriate scopes, and refresh tokens as needed. Store tokens securely, restrict access, and monitor expiry. If an error occurs, reauthorize and verify endpoint paths and data formats.
Yes. You can test connections in a staging or sandbox environment to avoid affecting live data. Use read-only endpoints where possible and verify responses before enabling production automation.
Mapped data typically includes blog fields like title, content, slug, author, and status, plus email fields such as recipient, subject, and template. A mapping document helps ensure data alignment across both apps.
API credentials are found in the Blogs API dashboard under Credentials. Store them securely and rotate them periodically; never publish credentials in code or public repos.
Common issues include invalid scopes, token expiry, incorrect endpoint paths, or mismatched data formats. Reauthorize if needed, double-check scopes, test with sample data, and review error logs for details.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
