Use your Blogs API credentials such as API key or OAuth to authorize requests. Store credentials securely and limit scope to the endpoints you need.
Set up a Firebase service account or OAuth credentials and grant least privilege. Use the service account to authorize server side calls.
– GET emails/builder; – emails/builder.write; – POST emails/builder; – POST /emails/builder/data; – DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; – emails/schedule.readonly; – GET emails/schedule; – blogs/post.write; – POST /blogs/posts; – blogs/post-update.write; – PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; – blogs/check-slug.readonly; – GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; – blogs/category.readonly; – GET /blogs/categories; – blogs/author.readonly; – GET /blogs/authors
Trigger: when a new blog post is published in Blogs API, automatically create or update a Firestore document.
Actions: upsert posts in Firestore, set publish date, and maintain a slug index.
Core methods: GET /blogs/posts to fetch and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update
Key fields: postId, title, content, slug, authorId, publishedAt
Trigger: a new draft is created in Blogs API and should reflect in Firestore for collaboration.
Actions: create a draft document in Firestore and synchronize status updates.
Methods: POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update
Key fields: postId, title, draft, status
Trigger: posts become archived or moved to a secondary collection in Blogs API.
Methods: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to change archive status
Key fields: postId, archived, archivedAt, indexStatus
No code setup enables rapid integration without writing backend code
Visual workflows map triggers to actions for content sync
Unified data access from Blogs API and Firestore through a single interface
This section defines data elements and processes used to connect the Blogs API with Firebase – Firestore via GHL, including endpoints data mapping authentication and error handling
A defined URL and HTTP method that performs an action on a server
A real time notification sent when an event occurs, enabling near instant data sync
A URL friendly version of a post title used to identify a post
A grouping of documents in Firestore used to organize related data
Push new blog posts to Firestore as soon as they are published for live dashboards
Index titles and slugs in Firestore to speed up searches
Move stale posts to an archive collection and keep references
Create credentials for Blogs API and configure a Firebase service account
Map blog fields to Firestore document fields such as title content slug and metadata
Create a GHL workflow that triggers on new posts and updates Firestore accordingly
Authenticate the Blogs API with an API key or OAuth token and store it securely. Use the credentials in your GHL workflow to authorize requests. For Firebase authentication use a service account or OAuth and grant least privilege.
Yes you can write to Firestore from GHL using the Blogs API endpoints and a trigger. Set up security rules and verify that the workflow writes only to approved Firestore collections.
You typically need endpoints for fetching posts and updating posts such as GET /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. Slug checks and category endpoints help prevent duplicates. Use these together in a single workflow.
Rate limits depend on your plan. Implement exponential backoff and retry logic in your workflow. Monitor usage and adjust the trigger frequency to stay within limits.
Slug existence checks are performed with endpoints like GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. Use these before creating or updating a post to ensure uniqueness.
You can filter by category by pulling category data from blogs/categories and applying filters during the sync. This helps ensure only relevant posts are moved to Firestore.
Updates can be real time via webhooks or near real time with scheduled checks. Choose the approach that matches your data freshness needs and Firestore write limits.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
