Authenticate with your GHL credentials and grant the required scopes for blog management. Use secure OAuth 2.0 or API keys as supported, and ensure access to the blogs endpoints you intend to use.
Authorize Ecwid by Lightspeed to communicate with GHL by providing an access token and aligning scopes for creating and updating blog posts. Use the App Connector settings to establish a trusted connection.

This glossary covers core terms and API concepts for the Blogs API and Ecwid by Lightspeed integration, including posts, slugs, endpoints, and data mappings
A set of endpoints to manage blog content such as posts, categories, and authors inside GHL
A URL friendly version of a post title used for links and slug checks
A blog entry with a title, body content and metadata
A specific API path and HTTP method used to perform an action
Map product fields like name, description and image to a new blog post and decide on publish or schedule
Aggregate recent Ecwid changes into a recap post and publish on a chosen cadence
When Ecwid products go live, update corresponding blog posts to published
Gather GHL API credentials and Ecwid app credentials; verify scopes cover blog read/write
Map blog fields to Ecwid data fields such as title content image category
Run tests, verify slug generation and activate automation in production
The Blogs API in GHL provides endpoints to manage blog content including posts, categories and authors. It gives you programmatic control to create, fetch and update posts from your processes. This API enables automation across your content workflow.
Yes, you can trigger blog post creation from Ecwid events such as new product additions or price changes. Set up a workflow to map product fields to post fields and schedule publishing where appropriate.
Endpoints include POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check duplicates. Other endpoints manage categories, authors and slug checks to support clean content management.
Slug duplicates can be avoided by checking slug existence before creation. If a slug exists, modify the slug or append a unique suffix then proceed.
No heavy coding is required; you can connect Ecwid by Lightspeed to GHL using the Apps Connector and standard webhooks. For complex workflows you can add lightweight automation steps without writing custom code.
Authentication is done via OAuth 2.0 or API keys with scopes appropriate for reading and writing blog data. Ensure you grant access to the Blogs API endpoints and periodically rotate credentials for security.
Log viewing and debugging information is available in the App Connector and GHL activity logs. Enable verbose logging during setup and monitor errors to adjust mappings and triggers.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
