Use OAuth 2.0 to securely authorize the Blogs API within your GHL account and grant scopes for reading and writing blog content.
Connect using OAuth with Facebook Lead Ads to allow lead data to flow into Blogs API safely and with consent.
GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, GET emails/schedule, GET blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors
Trigger: a new Facebook Lead Ad lead is captured to create a blog post draft in Blogs API.
Actions: create blog post draft; populate title and excerpt from lead data; assign author; set category.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, authorId, leadId
Trigger: lead details are available to seed email templates in the Email Builder.
Actions: GET emails/builder to fetch templates; POST emails/builder to create or update templates; POST /emails/builder/data to fill content
POST /emails/builder
templateId, recipientEmail, leadFields, payload
Trigger: when a blog post is published, schedule follow-up emails to leads.
Actions: POST /emails/builder/data to create follow-ups; GET /emails/schedule to plan sends
POST /emails/builder/data
templateId, scheduleTime, followUpDays
Fast setup with no coding required, using visual builders and presets.
Automations handle data routing, reducing manual work and errors.
Centralized data flow across endpoints ensures consistent lead data.
Key elements include endpoints (URLs), triggers, actions, fields, and authentication flows that connect GHL with the Facebook Lead Ads app.
Application Programming Interface: a defined set of rules that allow software components to communicate.
OAuth 2.0 is the authorization framework used to grant secure access to APIs without sharing passwords.
A specific URL path that performs an operation in an API (read, write, or delete).
A real-time data delivery mechanism that notifies systems when events occur.
Automatically generate a blog draft when a new lead is captured, using lead details as content seeds.
Populate email templates with blog post highlights and links to educate leads.
Repurpose blog insights into social posts, emails, and ads using the same data source.
Complete OAuth flows for both platforms to allow secure data exchange.
Choose endpoints such as GET emails/builder, POST /blogs/posts, and POST /emails/builder/data, then map lead fields to blog fields.
Run tests, verify data flows, set up monitoring, and go live.
Answer: You authenticate the GHL API using OAuth 2.0 credentials from your GHL developer console and grant the Blogs API the necessary scopes. You will then connect the Facebook Lead Ads app to the GHL account to enable data flow. Ensure tokens are stored securely and refreshed on schedule. In most setups, this single login covers subsequent API calls.
Answer: Required endpoints include GET emails/builder to fetch templates if needed, POST /blogs/posts to publish drafts, and POST /emails/builder/data to populate email content. You may also use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs and GET /blogs/authors to assign authors.
Answer: Yes. You can trigger scheduled follow-ups from blog events by posting data to the emails/builder and scheduling endpoints. This enables timely nurture sequences aligned with content publication.
Answer: No extensive coding is required if you use the built-in triggers, actions, and mappings. You may need some basic field mapping and test steps, but the process is designed to be no-code.
Answer: Map lead fields such as name, email, and company to blog post fields like title, excerpt, and author. Use the API’s field names to align data types and validation rules.
Answer: Data sync is near real-time for most events, with typical latency from API processing. You can adjust schedule-based triggers for batch processing if needed.
Answer: If you run into issues, check token validity, endpoint permissions, and that the correct scopes are granted. Consult the logs in both platforms, and reach out to support if needed.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
