Obtain an API key or OAuth token from your GHL developer console and attach it to requests from Drupal. Store credentials securely and rotate them regularly.
Use a secure service account or access token in Drupal’s environment. Configure the Drupal site to pass credentials with each API call.
GET emails/builder; GET emails/builder.write; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; emails/schedule.readonly; GET emails/schedule; GET blogs/post.write; POST /blogs/posts; POST /blogs/post-update.write; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; blogs/check-slug.readonly; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; blogs/category.readonly; GET /blogs/categories; blogs/author.readonly; GET /blogs/authors
Trigger: new or updated Drupal blog content; publish to GHL as soon as it’s saved.
Actions: POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update; map title, slug, content, author, and categories.
Method paths: POST /blogs/posts for creation; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId for updates.
Key fields: slug, title, content, author, categories, publishDate.
Trigger: when a new category, author, or post is created or updated.
Actions: GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; use responses to enforce slug uniqueness before create.
Method paths: GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Key fields: slugExists, authorId, categoryId.
Trigger: set a publish date in Drupal or align with your content calendar.
Actions: POST /blogs/posts with a schedule parameter or use PUT after creation to adjust schedule.
Method paths: POST /blogs/posts to publish; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to reschedule.
Key fields: publishDate, status, postId.
Automated publishing from Drupal to GHL reduces manual steps and speeds up content distribution.
Unified analytics lets you track post performance in one place and optimize future content.
Centralized credentials and webhooks simplify maintenance and security.
This section explains essential terms and processes used in the integration to help you implement correctly.
API stands for Application Programming Interface — the set of endpoints you use to connect Drupal with GHL.
Slug is the URL-friendly identifier for a post used in checks to avoid duplicates.
A post is a blog entry that can exist in Drupal or be created in GHL via the Blogs API.
A webhook notifies GHL about changes in Drupal so data stays synchronized in real time.
Set up a pull from Drupal to GHL triggered on new content; map fields like title, body, author, and tags to keep both systems in sync.
Synchronize Drupal’s editorial calendar with GHL’s publishing queue to coordinate campaigns and optimize timing.
Automatically assign Drupal categories based on GHL insights, or push category data back to Drupal for richer taxonomy.
In the GHL developer portal generate an API key or OAuth token and note the credentials.
Install the integration module, enter API credentials, select endpoints used, and map fields.
Run tests in a staging environment; verify posts appear in GHL; monitor logs and adjust.
The Blogs API provides endpoints to create, update, and manage blog content from Drupal through GHL. By authenticating and mapping fields correctly, you can publish posts directly to your GHL blog from Drupal. This reduces duplication and keeps content in sync across platforms. With the right credentials, Drupal can drive your GHL content pipeline automatically.
You’ll typically use an API key or OAuth token issued by GHL to authorize requests. Securely store credentials in Drupal settings and rotate them according to your security policy. Each API call should include the necessary authorization header to access blogs endpoints.
Essential endpoints for blog post work include creating posts (POST /blogs/posts), updating posts (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId), and slug checks (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists). For reading metadata, use endpoints like GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors. Depending on your workflow, you may also need GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to prevent duplicates.
Yes. You can schedule posts by including scheduling parameters when creating posts or by updating the publish date after creation. This enables coordinated publishing with Drupal’s editorial calendar and campaigns in GHL.
A no-code option is possible if you use a Drupal module or integration app designed for GHL. However, some setups will require basic API configuration and field mapping. The goal is to enable secure, repeatable calls without hand-coding every integration.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
