Generate an API key in the Blogs API developer portal and grant FormDesigner access. Copy the key securely, then configure the Blogs API connection in FormDesigner to use this credential for all requests. Test the connection to confirm authorized access to read and write endpoints.
In FormDesigner, add a new GHL connection labeled Blogs API. Paste your API credentials, select the appropriate scopes, and save. Re-authenticate if the key is rotated to keep automations running.
– 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 blog post is published in Blogs API.
Actions: Create or update email templates in the Email Builder, generate a concise post summary, and push relevant changes to subscribers as part of FormDesigner workflows.
GET /blogs/posts
title, slug, excerpt, postId, authorId
Trigger: Creating or updating a blog post in Blogs API.
Actions: Refresh email content, update templates with the latest post details, and queue campaigns for subscribers from FormDesigner.
POST /blogs/posts
Trigger: A blog post is edited in Blogs API and changes should reflect in FormDesigner.
Actions: Sync updated post data to Email Builder data sources and propagate changes to templates and channels.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, lastUpdated, content
Faster content workflows with drag-and-drop forms and real-time data sync.
Less manual work as blog templates auto-populate from posts and templates stay up to date.
Better team collaboration through centralized triggers, workflows, and shared content assets.
Key elements include APIs, endpoints, triggers, actions, data fields, and workflows used to connect FormDesigner with Blogs API.
API stands for Application Programming Interface. It defines how FormDesigner requests data from and sends data to the Blogs API.
An endpoint is a specific URL and HTTP method that performs a defined operation in the Blogs API.
A Trigger is an event in Blogs API or FormDesigner that starts a workflow.
A Field is a data piece used in posts, forms, and templates (e.g., title, content, author).
Create dynamic forms in FormDesigner that auto-populate from new blog posts, reducing manual drafting.
Automatically refresh email campaigns with the latest post content.
Trigger cross-channel promotions from FormDesigner when a post is updated.
In the Blogs API developer portal, create an API key and secret for FormDesigner.
Enter your API credentials into FormDesigner and map endpoints to your workflows.
Run test calls, verify data sync, and publish your integration.
Yes—no heavy coding is required. The Blogs API and FormDesigner provide a no-code connector with built-in authentication and mapped fields for common automations. You can drag and drop steps to assemble the workflow without writing code. If you need deeper control, you can customize triggers and actions in the visual editor to tailor data flow, endpoint usage, and timing of events.
For typical automations, you’ll work with endpoints such as GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, and GET /blogs/authors to read and synchronize content. If you need to create or update posts, include endpoints like POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, and DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId as required. The connector guides you through field mapping and trigger configuration.
Yes. You can update a blog post from FormDesigner by using PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to push changes back to Blogs API. FormDesigner will then synchronize updated content to related templates and email campaigns so all channels stay in sync.
Rate limits vary by plan and endpoint. If you approach a limit, the connector uses backoff retries and notifies you. For heavier automations, consider batching requests or upgrading your plan to increase quotas.
To test the integration, enable a test or sandbox mode in the GHL connection, run sample calls (create, read, update), and inspect results in FormDesigner and the Blogs API dashboard. Use test data to verify triggers, mappings, and data flow before going live.
API keys can expire or be rotated. Maintain a key rotation process and update credentials in FormDesigner promptly. If a key expires, re-authenticate the connection to restore access and verify workflows.
Yes. You can customize which fields are sent via webhooks by editing the webhook payload mapping in the FormDesigner integration settings. You can include or omit fields like title, excerpt, slug, author, and post status to fit your automation needs.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
