Access the Blogs API with a secure API key and the appropriate scope (emails/builder.readonly). Include your key in the Authorization header for every request.

Faster setup with drag-and-drop automations and API endpoints ready to use.
Automated workflows reduce manual data entry and sync posts to emails in real time.
Consistent data across YourApp and Blogs API for accurate reporting.
Key elements include endpoints, authentication, data fields, and mapping processes that connect Blogs API to YourApp.
A specific URL in the GHL API that performs a defined action (for example, GET /blogs/posts).
A URL-friendly identifier derived from the post title used in the blog URL.
Methods used to prove identity to the API, such as API keys or OAuth tokens.
A URL that receives real-time event notifications from GHL.
Automatically send newly published posts to subscriber emails using the emails/builder endpoints.
Aggregate weekly posts and deliver a digest via YourApp’s email workflows.
Route posts by author to tailored mailing lists and campaigns.
Create API keys with the required scopes (e.g., blogs and emails) and securely store them.
Map the endpoints you will use to YourApp triggers and actions, such as POST /blogs/posts and GET emails/builder.
Test in a sandbox, validate data mappings, and monitor error handling.
An API endpoint is a specific URL in the GHL API that performs a defined action, such as retrieving blog posts or creating an email template. You interact with endpoints by sending HTTP requests with appropriate methods and headers. Start with endpoints like GET /blogs/posts to fetch content or POST /blogs/posts to create new posts. Make sure your API key includes the necessary scope.
You can connect with no-code tools by mapping triggers and actions to HTTP requests, but some setup may require minimal scripting or configuration. Use webhooks, request templates, and the built-in connectors to minimize coding.
Scopes define what actions your integration can perform. For Blogs API you may need scopes like blogs/post.write, blogs/post.readonly, and emails/builder.*. Request the minimum necessary scopes for your workflow and rotate keys regularly.
To check if a slug exists, call GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists with the slug parameter. The response indicates whether the slug is available or already in use. Use this in your content planning step before publishing.
Yes. You can fetch authors and categories using endpoints like GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories. These help you map content authors and topics to your campaigns.
Emails and templates are managed via the emails/builder endpoints, including listing templates, creating drafts, and scheduling sends. Use POST, GET, and DELETE operations to manage your email assets.
Test the integration in a sandbox environment. Validate data mappings, monitor error responses, and implement retries and logging to ensure reliable operation.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
