To authorize the Blogs API in GHL, grant the Blogs API app the scope emails/builder.readonly (and additional write scopes as needed). Use OAuth 2.0 and follow the GHL app setup to obtain client credentials and securely store tokens.
Ensure your Dreamdata account is enabled for API access and that the Dreamdata app is granted permission to the GHL integration with the Blogs API. Save credentials securely and rotate them per security best practices.
Core endpoints you may use include: GET emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET emails/schedule, GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, etc.
Trigger: A new blog draft is created in Dreamdata
Action: Create a post in Blogs API via POST /blogs/posts, including title, slug, content, and author.
Method path: POST /blogs/posts
Required fields: title, content, slug, authorId, categoryId
Trigger: Blog post updated in Blogs API
Action: Update post via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId with new content or title
Method path: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Required fields: postId, title, content, slug
Trigger: A new post is prepared with a slug in Dreamdata
Action: Check slug via GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; publish with POST /blogs/posts if available, otherwise adjust slug
Method path: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Key fields: slug
Automate blog publishing and email-template updates between Blogs API and Dreamdata without writing code.
Keep content and campaigns in sync with real-time updates and centralized automations.
Save time and reduce errors with reusable triggers, actions, and clear data mappings.
This section defines the main elements: endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, and data mappings used when connecting Blogs API to Dreamdata via GHL.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to perform an action in the Blogs API.
A unique, URL-friendly identifier for a blog post used in routing and SEO.
An event that starts an automation, such as a new or updated post.
An operation performed by the integration, like create or update a post.
Create a workflow that publishes a new Dreamdata post to the Blogs API with a single click.
Whenever a post is updated in Blogs API, automatically refresh related email templates in Dreamdata.
Use slug existence checks to avoid duplicates and ensure clean URLs.
Obtain OAuth credentials, set scopes, and authorize the Blogs API app in GHL for the Dreamdata integration.
Define which endpoints will be used, such as POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Test the workflow with a sample post and verify slug uniqueness, then enable automation.
Authentication between Blogs API and Dreamdata uses OAuth 2.0 with the necessary scopes granted to the Blogs API app in GHL. Start by creating a new app in GHL, configure the client ID and secret, and request the emails/builder.readonly scope (and any write scopes you need). Then authorize the app to access your Dreamdata resources. If you see token errors, refresh tokens and re-consent when required. In addition, ensure the Dreamdata account has API access and that the app is allowed to interact with the Blogs API endpoints listed in the integration doc.
To publish a blog post, you typically use the POST /blogs/posts endpoint with a payload that includes the title, content, slug, and metadata like authorId and categoryId. You may also need to create or select an author and category via the related endpoints (GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories). Make sure slug uniqueness is validated to avoid duplicates and broken links.
Yes. You can update a post after publishing by calling PUT /blogs/posts/:postId with the updated fields (title, content, slug). The system should reflect changes in Dreamdata campaigns that reference the post. If you need versioning, implement a version field in your payload and handle it on the Dreamdata side.
Slug availability can be checked using GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists with a query parameter slug. If the response indicates the slug is taken, your workflow should suggest an alternative slug or automatically adjust it before publishing.
The integration is designed as a no-code solution through GHL and Dreamdata. You can assemble triggers and actions without writing code, using the prebuilt endpoints and mappings. For advanced scenarios, you can add lightweight scripting or conditional logic within your automation platform.
Required permissions include the appropriate read and write scopes for emails/builder and blogs endpoints, plus access to Dreamdata resources. Ensure OAuth credentials are stored securely and rotated periodically. If you encounter permission errors, re-authorize the app and verify scope grants.
Common issues include token expiration, incorrect payload formats, and slug conflicts. Resolve by refreshing tokens, validating payload against the API schema, and performing a slug check prior to posting. Check the integration logs in GHL and Dreamdata for detailed error messages.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
