To connect, you’ll authorize the Blogs API within your GHL developer console and grant the requested scope: emails/builder.readonly for reading email templates and schedules in the GHL system as needed.
Exact Online uses OAuth 2.0. You’ll create an app in Exact Online, obtain a client ID and secret, and grant access to the necessary resources (including blogs and emails endpoints) with appropriate scopes.
Common endpoints you may use include: GET emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; GET emails/schedule; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors.
Trigger: a new sales order or customer update in Exact Online triggers a blog post draft in Blogs API.
Actions: POST /blogs/posts to create the post, optionally update with POST /blogs/post-update.write and set slug with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Method paths: POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; POST /blogs/post-update.write; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Key fields: title, content, slug, author, category, status, publish_date.
Trigger: new category or author added in Exact Online updates the Blogs API catalog.
Method paths: GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors

You can start with a no-code connector using pre-built templates and the endpoints listed. The first steps involve creating an app in GHL, obtaining OAuth tokens, and configuring a connection to Exact Online. This foundation lets you map blog content to the data in Exact Online without writing code.
No coding is required for many common tasks when using the Blogs API with Exact Online. You can use visual builders and webhooks to trigger actions. For advanced custom logic, you can still extend with code if needed.
Start with GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to explore taxonomy. Then try POST /blogs/posts to publish content. Use slug checks with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to avoid duplicates.
Use webhooks and scheduled tasks to keep data in sync. Map Exact Online records to blog fields and test the flow in small batches to ensure accuracy before going live.
Yes, you can schedule posts by including publish_date and using the blog scheduler endpoints. You can also set up automation to publish on a schedule.
OAuth 2.0 is supported. You will use the authorization code flow for user-based access or client credentials flow for server-to-server interactions.
