Use a GHL API key with the scope emails/builder.readonly to authorize requests from DoubleTick. Store the token securely and test the connection in your DoubleTick dashboard.
In your GHL account, generate an API token for Blogs API, then paste it into the DoubleTick connection settings. Run a test to confirm successful authentication.
Key endpoints used in this integration include: GET emails/builder; GET emails/builder.write; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; GET emails/schedule; GET /blogs/posts; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors.
Trigger when a new blog post is published in Blogs API to start an email sequence in DoubleTick.
Actions: create a new post in blogs via /blogs/posts, then trigger an email template in DoubleTick’s builder.
POST /blogs/posts
Key fields include: postId, title, slug, content, authorId, publishedAt
Trigger when a blog post is updated to push changes to DoubleTick
Actions: call PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update content; reflect changes in email templates.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: postId, title, slug, updatedAt
Trigger when new authors or categories are added to Blogs API to sync with DoubleTick profiles.
Actions: fetch via GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories; map to DoubleTick contacts and tags.
GET /blogs/authors
Key fields: authorId, name, bio, categoryIds

Authentication for the Blogs API connection uses a GHL API token with the scope emails/builder.readonly. This ensures DoubleTick can read blog data securely. Keep your token private and rotate it periodically. If authentication fails, reissue the token and re test the connection in DoubleTick. Once authenticated, you can start mapping endpoints and automating workflows. Note: Always verify that the token has the necessary permissions for the specific actions you intend to perform, such as reading blog posts or updating content.
To publish and manage posts, you will typically use endpoints like POST /blogs/posts to create content, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slug availability. You can also use GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories to enrich posts with author and category data. Ensure your mapping includes postId, title, slug, content, and authorId for full post management. Test each endpoint in a controlled environment before enabling production automation.
Yes. You can synchronize authors and categories by polling GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories and then mapping those records to DoubleTick contact records and tags. Regular synchronization keeps content attribution accurate and enables dynamic content in emails. Schedule periodic syncs or trigger on changes if your system supports webhooks.
While no code is required for most integrations, you will configure tokens, base URLs, and field mappings inside DoubleTick. This connection relies on standard API calls and data mapping, which is designed to be performed by users with basic technical familiarity. You can leverage guided templates or wizards in DoubleTick to simplify the setup.
Testing the connection involves authenticating, performing a few read and write requests, and validating responses. Use a test blog post to trigger a publication workflow and verify email templates render correctly with mapped fields. Review error messages carefully and correct any mapping or permission issues before going live.
Sync frequency depends on your workflow. You can set real-time triggers if available, or schedule periodic synchronization (e.g., every 15 minutes or hourly). Consider the rate limits of the Blogs API and plan batches of requests to avoid throttling while keeping data fresh in DoubleTick.
If a slug already exists, the slug-exists endpoint can help prevent duplicate posts. You can implement a fallback strategy, such as appending a unique suffix or updating the existing post instead of creating a new one. This preserves clean URLs and avoids content duplication in your campaigns.
