To connect Blogs API with EmailOctopus, generate an API key in the GHL dashboard and grant the minimum scope for reading email templates and emails.
In EmailOctopus set up secure OAuth or token based access to connect to the Blogs API, store credentials safely and refresh tokens automatically.
Core endpoints include GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, GET emails/schedule, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Trigger when a new blog post is published in Blogs API
Create or update an EmailOctopus campaign or email template and subscribe readers automatically
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, excerpt
Trigger when a blog post is updated in Blogs API
Update EmailOctopus templates or campaigns with the new content or title
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug
Trigger when a new author is added in Blogs API
Create or update a contact in EmailOctopus and assign to a list or tag
GET /blogs/authors
authorId, name, email, status
Automate content to email workflows without writing code
Trigger campaigns based on new or updated blog content
Centralize content creation and distribution in a single no code flow
Key concepts and processes to understand when integrating the Blogs API with EmailOctopus
Application Programming Interface that allows software to talk to another service
A real time push mechanism that notifies another app of events
A URL friendly version of a blog post title used in links
A reusable email or post layout used in campaigns
Send a welcome email series featuring your newest blog posts to new subscribers
Create a weekly digest that aggregates recent posts into a single email
Highlight an author and pull their posts into a candid email feature
In EmailOctopus, authorize access to the Blogs API and test a sample fetch
Define how blog fields map to EmailOctopus lists and templates
Activate the Zapier App Connector workflow and monitor results
Authentication can be done with a secure API key from the Blogs API setup in GHL plus appropriate access in EmailOctopus. Store credentials securely and rotate keys regularly. For ongoing use, set up token refreshing if supported and monitor access logs. In practice you will test a read only connection first to verify permissions.
Essential endpoints include retrieving templates with GET emails/builder, publishing posts with POST /blogs/posts, and updating posts with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. You will also want to check slug existence with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and fetch categories and authors with GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors.
Yes. A no code approach using Zapier App Connector lets you create triggers and actions between Blogs API and EmailOctopus without writing code. You can map fields and set up basic automation through the UI.
Use built in retries and exponential backoff where available. Log errors, route to a fallback workflow if a post fails to publish, and test with a small sample data set before going live.
Common required fields for a blog post include title, content, slug, and category. Ensure the slug is unique to avoid conflicts and that content is properly formatted for email rendering.
API rate limits depend on your plan. Plan for bursts when publishing multiple posts and use batching where the integration supports it to avoid hitting limits.
To test, run a dry run with a test blog post, verify data mapping, ensure emails are queued, and monitor logs for any errors. Adjust mappings as needed and re-test until clean.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
