Link the blogs endpoints to EZ Texting actions and define field mappings.
Run test calls, review logs, and set alerts for failures.
No coding is required for basic connections; you can authenticate and map a few endpoints through the GHL UI. Start with a read-only scope to explore data flows and gradually enable write permissions as you validate.
OAuth 2.0 with API keys is commonly used to secure access; you will exchange tokens and grant scoped permissions. Store tokens securely, rotate keys periodically, and test with a sandbox environment before going live.
For a basic setup, use read-only endpoints like GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to surface data. When ready to publish, rely on POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId for updates, with appropriate field mappings.
Map core fields between the APIs (for example, blog title -> message subject, blog link -> post URL, author -> sender name). Use consistent field naming and validate mappings with test data before production use.
Yes. Use a sandbox or test accounts to simulate blog events and messages without affecting live data. Review error messages and adjust mappings or permissions before going to production.
Check authentication tokens, scope permissions, endpoint availability, and rate limits when troubleshooting. Review logs in GHL and the Blogs API for error details and retry guidance.
