Authenticate with the Blogs API by generating an API key from GHL and granting the requested scope. Use the scope emails/builder.readonly as part of the connection. Paste the key into Drop Cowboy connection settings to finish the link.
In Drop Cowboy create a new connection and choose Blogs API. Authorize via the API key or OAuth token to secure the integration and enable data flow.

To authenticate use the API key generated in GHL and configure OAuth if required. Then connect in Drop Cowboy and select the Blogs API. Ensure the scope matches the required access. Save the connection and test a post creation. If you need to refresh credentials, revoke the old key in GHL and reauthorize the connection in Drop Cowboy to maintain secure access.
For basic publishing you need the endpoints to create posts and update them. Use POST /blogs/posts to create and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update. Also verify slug existence with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to avoid duplicates.
Yes you can schedule posts by setting a publishDate and status to published. Use the PUT endpoint to adjust publishDate at the correct time. Test scheduling in a sandbox environment before going live.
Yes you can manage categories and authors. Use GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to view current entries and push updates from Drop Cowboy as needed.
Required permissions include read access to blog data and write access for posts and categories. Ensure the correct scopes are granted in GHL and that Drop Cowboy has a valid connection.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan and endpoint usage. Plan calls to avoid bursts and use batching where possible.
To disconnect, remove the Blogs API connection in Drop Cowboy and revoke the API keys in GHL if needed. You can reconnect later with fresh credentials.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
