Use your GHL API key or OAuth token to authorize requests to the Blogs API. Store credentials securely and grant only the needed scope: emails/builder.readonly and related blog endpoints (as listed in the integration guide).
Configure OAuth 2.0 client credentials or a shared secret for Flashquotes to securely access data from the GHL Blogs API. Follow recommended security practices and rotate credentials periodically.
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 blog post is published in Flashquotes (APPNAME).
Actions: Create a corresponding post in GHL via POST /blogs/posts; pull email templates with GET emails/builder; populate with content using POST /emails/builder/data; link to the new post in notifications.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, author
Trigger: A blog post is updated in Flashquotes.
Actions: Update the post in GHL with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; refresh related email data with POST /emails/builder/data.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, slug, status
Trigger: A new blog post is published in Flashquotes to drive an email campaign in GHL.
Actions: Create an email template with POST emails/builder; populate content with POST /emails/builder/data; optionally create a blog record with POST /blogs/posts.
POST emails/builder
templateId, subject, slug, content
Build end-to-end blog-to-email workflows without custom coding, using ready-made endpoints and mappings.
Iterate quickly with visual configurations and test data to validate content flows.
Maintain a single source of truth across GHL and Flashquotes for posts, emails, and campaigns.
Definitions for the core concepts you’ll encounter when connecting the Blogs API with Flashquotes.
Application Programming Interface: a defined set of rules and protocols that allows software components to communicate and exchange data.
A URL-friendly string derived from the blog post title used in web addresses.
Individual URLs that expose specific functionalities of an API (read, write, update, delete).
Pre-designed email layouts used in the Emails Builder for campaigns.
When a new post is published in Flashquotes, automatically generate an email announcement using Templates in the Emails Builder and publish it to your subscriber list.
If a post is edited in Flashquotes, push changes to GHL and refresh related campaigns to reflect updated content.
Use blog post data to auto-generate email campaigns with consistent branding and messaging.
Obtain API keys for the GHL Blogs API and configure OAuth credentials for Flashquotes to securely access data.
Map blog post fields (title, content, slug, category) to the corresponding email fields and set the data flow between apps.
Run test posts and email campaigns, monitor logs, and progressively roll out the integration.
The Blogs API provides programmatic access to blog content management, including posts, authors, categories, and slug checks. In this integration, it enables Flashquotes to publish, update, and reference blog content within GHL-driven workflows. This creates a bridge between blog publishing and marketing campaigns so that readers receive timely updates.
You don’t need to be a code expert. The setup relies on API endpoints and data mappings that can be configured with no-code tools or minimal scripting. Follow the step-by-step guide to authenticate, map fields, and test flows. For complex scenarios, a developer can assist with custom mappings while preserving the no-code path for ongoing maintenance.
Essential endpoints for a basic connection include POST /blogs/posts to create posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs. For email automation, GET emails/builder and POST /emails/builder/data are commonly used to pull templates and populate content.
Yes. You can automate sending blog announcements by triggering an email template from a new post and populating it with post data. This creates a seamless flow from publication to subscriber notification without manual steps.
Start with a dry run using test posts and a sandbox email list. Check the data mapping, verify slug validity, and ensure templates render correctly. Review logs in both apps to confirm data is flowing as expected, then gradually move to production.
API rate limits vary by plan. In typical setups, you should design idempotent requests and implement basic retry logic. If you expect high volumes, consider batching updates and scheduling off-peak requests to stay within quotas.
Logs and activity can be viewed in the GHL dashboard under API events and in Flashquotes’ integration panel. Look for recent POST/PUT requests, slug checks, and email template population to diagnose issues quickly.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
