To connect GHL with Emelia, use your GHL API key and enable the Blogs endpoints. Store credentials securely and rotate keys regularly. OAuth-based flows are supported if your setup requires it.
Connect Emelia to the Blogs API by exchanging a secure token or API credentials. Use Emelia’s client credentials flow as applicable and keep redirect URIs whitelisted in your GHL app settings.

Trigger: when a draft in Emelia is ready, push a new blog post via POST /blogs/posts.
Actions: create post, set title, content, slug, category, and publish or schedule status.
POST /blogs/posts
Key fields: title, content, slug, author, category
Trigger: when drafting, check slug availability with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and adjust as needed.
Actions: validate slug, fetch post status, preview, and sync updates between Emelia and the Blogs API.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Key field: slug
Trigger: content changes in Emelia trigger an update in GHL via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
Actions: update content, title, and metadata; optionally republish and notify subscribers.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: postId, title, content, status
Speed: connect instantly with API endpoints to automate posting without writing code.
Flexibility: map fields between Emelia and Blogs API and adjust workflows visually.
Scalability: handle multiple blogs, categories, and authors across environments.
Key elements include endpoints, authentication, rate limits, data mapping, and error handling. Understand the processes for creating, validating, and updating posts in GHL via the Blogs API.
An interface that allows programs to communicate with GHL services, including blogs and emails.
A URL-friendly string derived from the post title used to construct the blog URL.
A content item created in the Blogs API, consisting of title, body, and metadata.
A sequence of steps that automate content creation, publishing, and updates between Emelia and the Blogs API.
Automatically generate and publish blog posts when new content is added in Emelia, using POST /blogs/posts.
Repurpose Emelia drafts into multiple blog formats and social posts via API.
Automatically generate SEO-friendly slugs from titles and verify availability using the slug-check endpoint.
Obtain your API keys or OAuth tokens for GHL, grant access to the Blogs endpoints, and configure Emelia to store credentials securely.
Map Emelia fields (title, body, slug, author) to the Blogs API fields and select the endpoints you will use.
Run tests, deploy the integration, and set up monitoring and alerts for failed posts or slug conflicts.
The Blogs API in GHL provides programmatic access to blog content, categories, authors, and publishing workflows. It enables external apps to create, update, validate, and publish posts without manual UI interaction. This makes it possible to automate editorial processes and keep content synchronized across systems. In this integration, you’ll primarily use endpoints like POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to drive posting and slug validation.
Authorization typically involves using a GHL API key or an OAuth flow to grant Emelia access to the Blogs endpoints. Securely store credentials in your environment and rotate keys regularly. Ensure the credentials include the necessary scopes for read and write operations on blogs endpoints.
Yes. You can schedule posts by first creating the post and then setting its publish timing or status via the relevant endpoints. The slug can also be validated prior to publish to prevent conflicts. Build a workflow that checks slug availability before finalizing publishing.
For a basic connection, you need authentication credentials, the core endpoints (for example, POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists), and mapping fields like title, content, slug, and author. Start with create and slug-check flows to verify end-to-end functionality before expanding to updates or scheduling.
Slug conflicts can be detected with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. If a conflict exists, generate a unique slug variant (for instance by appending a short identifier) and retry the publish. Consider maintaining a slug history to avoid duplicates across posts.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan and the endpoints used. Plan for bursts around publishing windows by implementing backoff strategies and batching requests where feasible. Monitor quotas within the GHL dashboard to stay within limits.
Official GHL developer documentation covers authentication, endpoint references, and usage details for the Blogs API. You can also explore example payloads and community-driven guides to accelerate your integration and troubleshooting.
