Access to Blogs API requires a secure OAuth flow and API keys. Start by obtaining a client ID, client secret, and granting the scope emails/builder.readonly for read tasks (and additional scopes for write operations).
Link Flock to your GHL account by completing the OAuth pairing and selecting the blogs and emails endpoints you want to surface in Flock. Ensure you grant the necessary scopes so editors can read and publish posts.
Key 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.
When a new blog draft is created in Flock
Publish the post by calling POST /blogs/posts with title, content, slug, categoryId, and authorId
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, categoryId, authorId
When a post is edited in Flock
Update via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId with changed fields
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug, status
When a new author is added in Blogs API
Fetch authors with GET /blogs/authors and update Flock author records
GET /blogs/authors
authorId, name, bio

Automatically pull author details and create/update team profiles in Flock
On publish, push a notification to Slack, email, or other channels via Zapier-like connectors
Register the app in GHL and generate client credentials; select the required scopes.
Run OAuth flow and grant access to blogs and emails endpoints.
Test endpoints with sample data and confirm mappings across systems.
No coding is required to connect Blogs API with Flock. The GHL App Connector provides prebuilt actions that map to common tasks like publishing posts and syncing authors. You can configure the workflow visually and test it without touching code. This makes it easy for editors and marketers to automate content processes without hiring developers.
To publish posts, use POST /blogs/posts with the post data (title, content, slug, categoryId, authorId). You can also create drafts with blogs/post.write and then publish via the same endpoint. The workflow should map Flock fields to the API fields. Optionally, use blogs/post-update.write for post modifications and keep data in sync.
Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify a slug before creation. This helps avoid duplicates. You can also check /blogs/posts for existing titles and slugs. Implement a guard in your flow to prevent slug collisions.
Yes. You can fetch /blogs/authors to pull author data and then push to Flock as team profiles or author records. The two-way sync can be configured with polling or webhooks to keep data current. Ensure author IDs map correctly between systems.
The typical scopes include emails/builder.readonly for read access and blogs/post.write for publishing. Ensure you request the necessary write scopes for creating and updating posts. Always follow least-privilege access. If you only need reading capabilities, keep to readonly scopes to minimize risk.
Rate limits vary by endpoint but are designed for integration use. If you hit limits, queue requests or implement retries with back-off. We recommend batching operations where possible to reduce calls.
Yes. Endpoints like blogs/categories and GET /blogs/categories help you manage categories. You can sync category data to Flock similarly to posts, enabling consistent taxonomy across platforms.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
