To authenticate with the Blogs API you will use a token with the appropriate scopes. Ensure secure storage and regular rotation of the credentials.
In Firmao configure the GHL connection by entering the client credentials, selecting the Blogs API scope and testing the connection. Use a sample post to verify.
Endpoints include: GET emails/builder, GET 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: a new or updated draft in Firmao creates a blog post via POST /blogs/posts
Actions: map title, content, excerpt, slug and categoryId to the post fields; assign authorId; set status; optionally schedule
POST /blogs/posts
Key fields: title, content, excerpt, slug, categoryId, authorId, status
Trigger: changes in Firmao trigger a PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Actions: update title, content, slug, categoryId, authorId and status; keep metadata intact
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: postId, title, content, slug, categoryId, authorId, status
Trigger: verify slug availability and fetch categories/authors before publishing
Actions: check slug via GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; retrieve GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors; present options for mapping
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors
Key fields: slug, categoryId, authorId
Automate publishing and updates without writing code
Sync posts, categories and authors in real time between Firmao and your blog
Test ideas quickly with drafts and scheduling to optimize content strategy
This section explains the core elements of the integration including endpoints, triggers, actions and fields used to connect Firmao with the GHL Blogs API
Application Programming Interface that allows apps to communicate and exchange data
Sends data to create or update a resource on the server
Retrieves data from the server
Replaces or updates a resource at a specific URL
Drafts created in Firmao automatically publish to your blog via the Blogs API
Map Firmao authors and categories to the blog API to maintain metadata consistency
Schedule posts and test content ideas using the Blogs API to measure impact
Step 1: In your GHL account create or choose API credentials to authorize Firmao
Step 2: Set the required scopes for blogs work and authorize the connection
Step 3: In Firmao map source fields to blog fields and run a test to verify the connection
You authenticate with a token obtained via OAuth or an API key. Ensure the token has the Blogs API scope. Test the connection from Firmao using the built in Test Connection function and review logs for any errors. Rotate credentials regularly to maintain security.
Key endpoints for blogging workflows include GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors. You can chain endpoints in automations to create posts, update content, and fetch metadata for consistent publishing.
Yes, you can check slug availability prior to creation. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug existence before publishing.
Scheduling posts can be done by setting a publish date in Firmao and pushing the post to the Blogs API at the scheduled time. Alternatively, use your CMS scheduling features to align with the API.
No code is required for this integration thanks to prebuilt mappings and triggers. If you need custom logic, you can add conditional steps in Firmao workflows.
Permissions should include read and write access to blog posts, categories and authors. The example scope shows emails builder; for blogs use the appropriate blog scopes and ensure access is granted.
Common issues include invalid credentials, insufficient scopes, and field mapping mismatches. Check your API keys, reauthorize the connection, and review integration logs for detailed errors.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
