Use a secure API token with scopes including emails/builder.readonly and the relevant blogs endpoints to access templates and posts.
Provide a Files.com API key with appropriate read/write permissions and store credentials securely in your integration platform.
Endpoints involved: 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; GET /blogs/posts
Trigger: new blog post is published in Blogs API (blogs/posts) | Action: update/create email template via POST /emails/builder/data
Actions: map post fields to email template data, attach blog content for newsletters
POST /emails/builder/data
templateId, postId, title, excerpt, content
Trigger: file upload or event in Files.com | Action: create blog post via POST /blogs/posts or update via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Actions: map file metadata to blog fields like title and content
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, author, slug
Trigger: slug check when posting | Action: verify slug exists via GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug, postId
Speed: automate content workflows without writing code
Reliability: consistent data sync across apps
Flexibility: connect multiple endpoints and adjust mappings with ease
Key elements include endpoints, triggers, actions, HTTP methods, and data field mappings used to move information between Blogs API and Files.com.
A specific URL and HTTP method that performs a defined action in an API.
An event in one system that starts a workflow in another system.
The process of verifying identity to access API resources (keys, tokens, scopes).
A URL-friendly string representing a blog post title.
When a file is added to Files.com, automatically create a draft blog post in Blogs API and publish when approved.
Use email template content to populate blog posts and keep both in sync.
Check slug uniqueness and update as needed to prevent duplicates.
Create and test API keys with the required scopes for both sides (emails/builder.readonly and blogs endpoints).
Set up your automation to map blog post fields to email templates and files assets.
Run end-to-end tests, enable live monitoring, and adjust as needed.
The connection uses secure tokens and scoped permissions to limit access. Always rotate credentials and use least-privilege access. Implement error handling and logging to monitor activity.
Key endpoints commonly used include GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder/data, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. Map triggers and actions accordingly.
No dedicated coding is required if you use no-code automation platforms. You’ll configure triggers and actions and map fields via the UI. Some basic scripting is optional for advanced use.
Respect API rate limits, implement retries, and log errors. Use exponential backoff and monitor quotas in the GHL and Blogs API dashboards.
Yes. You can adjust field mappings, data types, and transformation rules to fit your workflows.
SEO considerations include keeping slugs unique, meaningful titles, and meta descriptions. Ensure content is crawlable and optimized.
View logs in the integration tool and API dashboards. Enable verbose logging for debugging.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
