Authenticate using your GHL API key with the appropriate scope for blog endpoints; ensure secure handling of credentials and limit access to required scopes.
Configure an app-level integration token in DoorLoop to authorize calls to the GHL Blogs API, and verify permissions before publishing.
Key endpoints for integration: GET emails/builder; POST emails/builder/data; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; POST /blogs/posts; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors; GET /blogs/posts; GET emails/schedule; GET blogs/check-slug.readonly; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors.
Trigger: When a new post is created in DoorLoop
Actions: Create post via POST /blogs/posts, then update with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; verify slug with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Method path: /blogs/posts
Key fields: title, content, slug, category, author, publishDate
Trigger: Schedule engine in DoorLoop triggers publish dates
Actions: Use GET /blogs/posts to fetch, POST /blogs/posts to create, or POST /blogs/posts schedule features if available; use blogs/schedule.readonly for monitoring
Method path: /blogs/posts
Fields: slug, publishDate, status
Trigger: New author or category added in DoorLoop
Actions: GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories to map IDs; assign authors and categories when creating posts
Method path: /blogs/authors and /blogs/categories
Fields: authorId, categoryId
Automate repetitive publishing tasks without writing code.
Maintain content consistency across channels and ensure posts are published on schedule.
Speed up go-to-market with ready-made templates and field mappings.
Core elements and processes you will use include endpoints, authentication, field mapping, and testing workflows to ensure reliable automation.
A token used to authenticate requests to the GHL Blogs API from DoorLoop.
A URL-friendly string used to identify a blog post.
A specific URL path to perform an API action, such as creating or fetching posts.
A callback URL that GHL or DoorLoop can call when an event occurs, enabling near real-time updates.
Automatically publish DoorLoop drafts to the Blogs API as new posts with title and body.
Map publish dates in DoorLoop to the Blogs API schedule to maintain a steady publishing cadence.
Automatically align DoorLoop authors and categories with the Blogs API to ensure proper attribution and taxonomy.
In DoorLoop, generate an integration token and add the Blogs API credentials from GHL.
Map title, content, slug, categories, and authors between DoorLoop and the Blogs API.
Run tests with sample posts and enable automation in production.
In most cases you can complete setup with no custom coding using the pre-built actions and tokens. If you need more control, you can add lightweight automation, but the standard flow covers most needs. Always start in a test environment to verify behavior.
Essential endpoints include POST /blogs/posts to create posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to avoid duplicates. You may also use GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to populate payload fields.
Use the slug-check endpoint to verify uniqueness before publishing. If the slug exists, alter it with a suffix or a date-based prefix to keep URLs SEO-friendly. This prevents duplicate content and 404s.
Map authors and categories by pulling data from GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories, then align IDs in the post payload to maintain correct attribution and taxonomy.
Typically you need an API key with access to blog endpoints (not just emails). Request scopes for blogs endpoints (such as blogs/*) and ensure your key is stored securely with least-privilege access. If OAuth is used, ensure the app has the correct redirect URIs configured.
Common errors include authentication failures, incorrect endpoint paths, and slug conflicts. Verify credentials, confirm the exact endpoint path, and run a slug existence check before publishing. Review rate limits and scope permissions if issues persist.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
