Authenticate requests to the Blogs API using the API key and the access token configured in GHL. Ensure the token has the correct scope for blog posts, categories, authors, and slug checks.
Secure your Dropcontact API key and include it in the Authorization header when calling endpoints that enrich contacts, fetch lists, or trigger campaigns.
Key endpoints relevant to this connection include: blogs/posts (create, update, and slug checks), blogs/categories and blogs/authors, blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, emails/builder and emails/schedule, and data endpoints such as blogs/post-update and blogs/post for retrieving and updating posts.
Trigger: A new or updated blog post in Blogs API starts a corresponding workflow in Dropcontact to notify subscribers or refresh contact data.
Actions: Create or update posts via POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; extract title, slug, author and categories into Dropcontact fields.
Method paths: POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Key fields: postId, slug, title, content, authorId
Trigger: New or updated email templates in Blogs API align with Dropcontact email campaigns and schedules.
Actions: Use GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, and GET emails/schedule to assemble, populate, and schedule campaigns.
Method paths: GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, GET emails/schedule
Key fields: locationId, templateId, recipientList, scheduleId
Trigger: Fresh Dropcontact data enriches contact records that are wired to blog readers or subscribers in GHL.
Actions: Retrieve blog categories and authors (GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors) and associate with contacts; update fields via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId or related endpoints.
Method paths: GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Key fields: id, slug, postId, authorId, leadId
Automate blog-driven campaigns without writing code. Use prebuilt templates, triggers, and the GHL editor to connect actions across blogs, emails, and contacts.
Maintain a single source of truth across Apps. Synchronize posts, authors, and contact data so campaigns stay accurate.
Speed up deployment with endpoint templates and no-code builders, letting your team launch blog campaigns in hours rather than days.
Understand the API elements, authentication methods, data fields, and processes that power the Blog API to Dropcontact connection in GHL.
Application Programming Interface: a set of rules that lets apps talk to each other and perform actions.
Specific paths within an API that perform operations like GET, POST, PUT, or DELETE.
Process to verify identity and grant access, typically via API keys or OAuth tokens.
A URL-friendly string that identifies a post, article, or resource.
When a post is published, automatically draft an email campaign in the Email Builder and schedule it for readers.
Use Dropcontact to enrich contact data and surface relevant blog topics for segmentation.
Leverage slug checks to route contacts to the most relevant content sequences in Dropcontact campaigns.
Generate and securely store API keys and access tokens from both services before wiring them together.
Map the endpoints from the list to your workflows and ensure proper authentication scopes.
Run end-to-end tests, verify data flow, and monitor results before going live.
No coding is required for most integrations. Use the prebuilt connectors within GHL, the Blogs API, and Dropcontact to wire actions together. If you prefer, you can also leverage a Zapier App Connector for an additional no-code bridge. Start by generating credentials, then map endpoints to your automations and templates. This approach lets your team automate blog content distribution and lead enrichment without writing code.
Key endpoints for email campaigns include GET emails/builder to fetch templates, POST emails/builder to create templates, and GET emails/schedule to view or set send times. You may also use POST /emails/builder/data to populate recipient data or content blocks. Ensure you have the correct scope and authentication in your requests.
To verify a blog post slug, call GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. If the slug is available, you can proceed to create or update the post; if not, generate a unique slug. This check helps prevent duplicate content and keeps your blog URLs clean for campaigns.
Yes. You can schedule both posts and emails by using the Blogs and Emails endpoints. Use GET /emails/schedule to review upcoming sends and POST /emails/builder/data or similar endpoints to queue content for delivery.
No coding is required for most standard flows. You can use the GHL builders and prebuilt templates to connect the Blogs API and Dropcontact without writing code. For more complex needs, you can adopt a low-code approach using drag-and-drop tools and your API keys.
Authentication issues usually come from invalid credentials, missing scopes, or expired tokens. Check that your API keys have the required scope (such as emails/builder.readonly and blogs endpoints), refresh tokens if needed, and ensure your Authorization headers are correctly formed.
If you need more endpoints, you can extend the integration by adding additional endpoints like GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts, and more. Document any new mappings and update your workflows to keep data aligned across Dropcontact and Blogs API.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
