To securely connect, grant a scoped API key from GHL and configure the Blogs API integration in Expensify with the correct permissions (read/write where needed).
Use OAuth 2.0 or API tokens in Expensify to authorize access to your Blogs content. Store tokens securely and rotate regularly.
Key endpoints include: GET emails/builder, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts, POST /emails/builder/data, GET /emails/builder, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, GET emails/schedule, POST /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors. Use the ones listed here to create and manage blog content from Expensify as part of your automation workflows.

GHL is the platform that exposes APIs to connect apps like Expensify with services such as Blogs API. This guide helps you set up that integration without needing to write custom code. Using GHL, you can trigger blog publishing workflows from Expensify events and manage content programmatically.
No coding is required if you use the no-code integration features in GHL and the Apps connectors. However, understanding endpoints and data mapping helps when you want to customize workflows beyond the built-in templates.
Key endpoints include POST /blogs/posts to create a new post and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slug availability. Additional endpoints like PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update a post and GET /blogs/categories or GET /blogs/authors can support richer content management.
Authenticate using OAuth or API tokens to establish a secure connection; configure the GHL integration to request the Blogs API scope. Store tokens securely, rotate them regularly, and test permissions in a sandbox before going live.
Yes. Use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to modify title, content, or metadata after a post is created. Keep in mind slug validity to avoid broken links.
API call limits depend on your GHL plan and Blogs API rate limits. Monitor usage in the dashboard and implement batching or conditional triggers to stay within quotas while preserving timeliness.
Check API response codes in GHL and Expensify connectors logs for common issues like authentication failures or invalid payloads. Enable verbose logging, verify endpoints, and consult the documentation for correct data schemas.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
